Acunetix by Invicti vs. Rencore Code (SPCAF)

Acunetix scales well from a small web development presence like ours to a full-scale enterprise focused on that. The various tools and sensors that provide assurance of the results and can give feedback down to the lines of code in the source are proof of this. Various integrations exist as well. The main thing for us is that it simplifies confirming and remediating potential issues in our code or proving that products we use have issues that we can then take to the vendor for correction.

For Microsoft shops that are doing custom development on the Microsoft cloud platform in Office 365 and Azure, the Rencore toolset is an absolute must, especially if you are involved in converting farm solutions to cloud, or just moving into cloud development for the first time.

• Integration of tool with different IDE is great
• Easy to scan code and identify vulnerabilities
• Dashboard is easy to customise

• Support - It is very quick relative to other vendors in this space and also very thorough.
• Product Features - It appears to be the only product in the market that has ALL the pieces for a baseline SPFx project versus no tools or manual activities.

• Does not support multiple endpoints well (e.g. apps and services that do not reside at the same URL).
• Has authentication problems with modern enterprise apps which involve a lot of redirects to unrelated endpoints, federated IDs, SSO, etc. This is related to the first point.
• The vulnerability detection capability is not as robust as Burp Suite Pro + extensions, Metasploit + auxiliary modules, Nmap + scripts, etc.

• Rencore's product line is of course still a bit of a niche: SharePoint code quality is not something every organization on the planet is concerned with - although Rencore does much more than that.
• We feel Rencore's marketing efforts are mainly targeted at technologists. There's a lot of other potential, especially for their platform governance product.

Happy with the fast and meaningful responses.

In my opinion Acunetix fares good in DevSecOps pipeline better than Appspider. In terms of vulnerabilities scanning of dynamic applications I liked Rapid7, however we have better ROI with Acunetix. During 6 months of usage I tried to look into cost benefit analysis and could easily pick Acunetix and in terms of dashboards also I am impressed

I don't know of any products that compete in the space and if there were any, they would not stand a chance against Rencore. Behind any good product is a team of highly skilled individuals, who all have the same goal, who are passionate what they do and lastly, are in it for the betterment of where they started; As Developers themselves. You can't buy that

• 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.

• Valuable insights into large existing SharePoint customizations that would otherwise would have taken weeks to analyze and assess on quality.
• Without Rencore's tooling, it would be impossible to track changes to client-side code. For example, we can tell exactly who changed which JavaScript in which webpart in the environment.
• Transformation tools helped developers migrate their existing code bases to the cloud, while already providing an automatically translated code base to start from.
