Considered Both Products	Acunetix by Invicti Rahul Deshmukh Security Solutions Architect Chose Acunetix by Invicti In my opinion Acunetix fares good in DevSecOps pipeline better than Appspider.

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	Checkmarx Chechmarx is really suited for finding wide range of security risks. It although identifies false positives which can be confusing at times. It can do better in terms of scan duration. They are better alternate competitors in the market who can do equally good or even better. It all depends on the scope of the problem you want to address Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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	Checkmarx Lots of false positives Hard to integrate with CI 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	Checkmarx We actually use Checkmarx along with the other tools. However, the reason we chose Checkmarx is its wide support for languages and useful fix recommendations. The flowcharts help better understand the data flow and give a clear picture of what needs to be fixed and how. Also, developers can make a note of what should be avoided in the future. Overall, it's a great tool and would be a good investment to make. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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	Checkmarx Improved ability to provide high level of IA confidence Improved confidence in application-level security Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
