Acunetix by Invicti vs. Black Duck Software Composition Analysis (SCA) vs. Patch My PC Patch Management

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

If you are using a lot of open-source libraries, which is most likely, this is a must-have to ensure no known vulnerabilities slip into production

I highly recommend Patch My PC to businesses of all types and sizes. The tool is highly customizable and can meet the needs of any organization. It is easy to implement with Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Intune and can be set up within a matter of minutes.

• Quick inventory scan: Black Duck helps us scan the code repositories in no time. And quickly list the components and I now really know what is in my code.
• Security and License risk management: Black Duck being rich in its knowledge base about the vulnerabilities and license issues of open source components, quickly compares the identified inventory to the Black Duck knowledge base and lists all the vulnerabilities and license issues in the code.
• Integration for automatic scanning: Black Duck is part of devops which provides us automatic scanning. Black Duck is not just for devops but also SecOps.

• License model based on usage is costly.
• Documentation is extensive, but often confusing.
• Black Duck Hub could use some feature improvements for more robust governance capabilities

• SAS solution
• Be able to select a specific application version for deployment

I consider Patch My PC a necessary tool for any environment I manage. I cannot imagine managing an environment without it, as the time and effort it saves is invaluable.

If you don’t know how to scan for the language, it isn’t entirely user friendly

Support seems very responsive.

The implementation is super easy, specially if you're just Integrating it with Intune.

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.

Black Duck is an obvious choice, with its versatility, integration, best enterprise support and on top of the list the knowledge base Black Duck has. Vega or Grabber also scans the application and tells about vulnerabilities. But it can never be compared with the feature set of Black Duck. Black Duck can also generate reports.

Patch My PC is a tool developed and maintained by experienced systems administrators, who have a deep understanding of the workings of Configuration Manager (SCCM) and Intune. They know what it takes to successfully deploy applications to end-users, making the tool an ideal choice for managing software updates and deployments.

• 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.

• It is hard to measure ROI since Black Duck Hub saves us from costly legal battles that have thankfully never had to happen.

• Saves countless hours on manually packaging applications
• Saves countless hours on investigating what applications in your environment needs updated
• saves you 1-3 headcounts in your department
