Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product is really easy to use."
"Acunetix is the best service in the world. It is easy to manage. It gives a lot of information to the users to see and identify problems in their site or applications. It works very well."
"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."
"It's very user-friendly for the testing teams. It's very easy for them to understand things and to fix vulnerabilities."
"The automated approach to these repetitive discovery attempts would take days to do manually and therefore it helps reduce the time needed to do an assessment."
"I find it to be one of the most comprehensive tools, with support for manual intervention."
"By integrating with CI/CD tools, it enables a shift-left approach in the development process."
"The most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
 

Cons

"There was an issue related to updates from the internet."
"The vulnerability identification speed should be improved."
"Integration into other tools is very limited for Acunetix. While we're trying to incorporate a CI/CD process where we're integrating with JIRA and we're integrating with Jenkins and Chef, it becomes problematic. Other tools give you a high integration capability to connect into different solutions that you may already have, like JIRA."
"The only problem that they have is the price. It is a bit expensive, and you cannot change the number of applications for the whole year."
"There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."
"The solution limits the number of scans. It would be much better if we could have unlimited scans."
"You can't actually change your password after you've set it unless you go back into the administration account and you change it there. Thus, if you're locked out and don't remember your password, that's a thing."
"When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable to a point. In order to run multiple scans at a time, we are going to have to purchase a 100 count license, which is an overkill. Though, compared to what we were paying for, the cost seems reasonable."
"Acunetix was around the same price as all the other vendors we looked at, nothing special."
"It is a bit expensive. If you need to check five applications, you have to pay almost 14,000. It is an agreement for two years at 7,000 per year for only five applications. You cannot change the applications in the license. So, you are stuck with the same license for the five applications for one full year."
"I would say that Acunetix is expensive because there are products on the market with similar features that are equally or better-priced."
"The price is exceptionally high."
"When compared with other products, the pricing is a little bit high. But it gives value for the price. It serves the purpose and is worthwhile for the price we pay."
"All things considered, I think it has a good price/value ratio."
"The costs aren't very expensive. It costs around $3000 or $4000."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
