Acunetix by Invicti vs. Cloudflare Zero Trust Services

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

I wanted to securely connect to my servers without getting tracked by malicious attackers, even though I was on public Wi-Fi. Security was my top priority, and I also wanted a setup that was easy and quick to start and provided great network performance. Cloudflare's Zero trust matches my criteria for becoming my first choice.

Overall, Cloudflare Zero Trust Services is very usable. We just need to do a one-time setup on Cloudflare Zero Trust Service's website, download their app on the device, and connect it with secure authentication. That's it. The apps are available for almost all kinds of devices that we use, and hence, we can secure all of our required devices. The app interface is very user-friendly and has logging capability to debug in case something goes wrong.

Good chat support from the portal for basic questions and minor issues. The enterprise support line is provided as well.

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.

Cloudflare was both the most feature-rich and cost-effective of comparisons. Presales engagement understood our challenges and was keen to solve them.

• 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

• Cloudflare as a multipurpose vendor and solution helped us to replace many overlapped imperfect solutions.
• Cloudflare gives the company administrator a single pane of glass view which makes his work more effective.
• Cloudflare makes cloud transformation easier and more effective.
