Featured Reviews

Israel Cavazos Landini

Associate Director IT Security Operations at Novartis

Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions

I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.

Used for web application auditing and security audits for web applications

I would advise users to limit Burp Suite usage to specific scenarios and applications. Users should use the solution as an expert testing tool instead of using it as a general scanner or for information gathering in general. The tool might be overwhelming initially for new users, but it will be easy after you get used to the UI, features, and options. PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition has been doing an amazing job for years compared to other similar tools. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."

More Acunetix pros

Cons

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."

"We have had issues during upgrades where their scans worked on some apps better with previous versions. Then, we had to work with their tech support, who were great, to get it fixed for the next version."

"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."

"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."

"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS."

"The cost can be reduced as management has noted it to be on the higher side."

"The solution limits the number of scans. It would be much better if we could have unlimited scans."

"We want to see how much bandwidth usage it consumes. When we monitor traffic we have issues with the consumption and throttling of the traffic."

"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."

More Acunetix cons

"It would be beneficial if Burp Suite provided predefined payloads for each attack category, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, to automate some tasks more effectively."

"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."

"It would be beneficial if Burp Suite provided predefined payloads for each attack category, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, to automate some tasks more effectively."

"From my personal experience, the solution's performance could be improved."

"The solution is a bit expensive."

"Scalability could be better."

"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."

"The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"When we looked at all other vendors and what they were asking for, to provide a third of what Acunetix was capable of doing, it was an easy decision... But now that it's coming to a cost where it's line with market value, it becomes more of a competition... Acunetix is raising the cost of licensing. It's 3.5 times what we were initially quoted."

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"The cost is based on two types of licenses, ConsultLite, and ConsultPlus, as well as the number of domains that are scanned."

"All things considered, I think it has a good price/value ratio."

"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."

"The costs aren't very expensive. It costs around $3000 or $4000."

"The pricing is a little high, and moreover, it's kind of domain-based."

More Acunetix pricing and cost advice

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is expensive compared to other solutions."

"Although the solution can be a bit expensive for small companies, its pricing is fairly reasonable for its capabilities."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable and costs around 400 dollars per year."

"For Professional, it's about $400 per year."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is neither a cheap nor an expensive product. PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is a good tool for companies."
