User Testimonials
	Acunetix by Invicti	AWS CloudTrail
Likelihood to Recommend	Invicti Security It is best suited for integrated security testing of applications which are hosted on web servers. The most important thing is the integration of DevSecOps which is crucial in today's fast paced environment of rapid development. The core of Acunetix is application scanning which is really great and I highly recommend this product to everyone Incentivized Rahul Deshmukh Security Solutions Architect Read full review	Amazon AWS It is necessary to enable [AWS] Cloudtrail when using AWS in a production environment, otherwise you will not have any idea what is happening within your accounts. Third party monitoring applications will all require [AWS] CloudTrail to be enabled as well. I would not recommend it solely as a monitoring tool, to get the most out of it you must send the logs elsewhere. Either to Cloudwatch logs or a third party product.

Pros	Invicti Security Fast. Easy-to-use. Great customer support. Reporting features. Supports importing state files from other popular application testing tools. Has other features built-in beyond just scanning for vulnerabilities.

Cons	Invicti Security Configuration of DevSecOps can be improved for ease Dashboard can have API integration Broaden the scope of vulnerabilities Incentivized Rahul Deshmukh Security Solutions Architect Read full review	Amazon AWS [In my experience] Cost can easily get out of control with multiple trails on full logging Logs can be difficult to decipher Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Invicti Security ZAP is a free tool, and adequate. But it is to that extent less friendly. I would not be as confident of the results and it definitely can't produce reports on par with Acunetix. There would be a lot of legwork on our end if we desired to switch to this tool. Incentivized AE Allan Crittenden Edwards Security Analyst Read full review	Amazon AWS I think in the end, CloudTrail has more features and you can dive deeper inside the logs so it depends on your usage and what you expect in the end to make the right choice, I would say that both tools are really useful and bring a lot of benefits to I.T. companies.

Return on Investment	Invicti Security Saved money compared to other commercial scanners, especially over the long run. Scan speed seems to be pretty good compared to some of the bulkier commercial products out there. However, that largely has to do with proper configuration. A downside is that is requires a bit of extra work just to get it set up to scan APIs, web services, etc. Incentivized Aaron Bryson Director - Red Team (Application, Mobile, Cloud, IoT security, etc.) Read full review	Amazon AWS Allows us to investigate any strange api actions Increases security Audit trail of changes made in AWS Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
