Acunetix by Invicti vs. Tripwire IP360

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 think Tripwire IP360 is suited for any environment as long as the leadership is willing to support the outcome.

• 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.

• I find the Tripwire IP360 reporting features extraordinary. I can run various audit and inventory reports at any point since the inception of the tool. For example, I can execute a report on the history of an asset, which establishes a baseline and can be used to support many security objectives.
• Scan scheduling. This feature allows the tool to run independently without human intervention. I don’t have time to manually run scans of different departments. Therefore, I schedule all my audits and check the report the next day. This has worked brilliantly for 3 years now.
• Automated update of the vulnerability rules. Automatically updating these rules and binding them to the scans preserves the tool relevancy during audits

Incentivized

• Configuration of DevSecOps can be improved for ease
• Dashboard can have API integration
• Broaden the scope of vulnerabilities

• I’d like to see IP360 have the ability to discover additional security appliances such as PaloAlto and Fortinet appliances.

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.

I chose Tripwire IP360 because of its flexible reporting features

• 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

• The biggest impact Tripwire has had in the organization is risk reduction. Since the inception of the tool our vulnerabilities have been reduced by 40%.
