"Acunetix needs to improve its cost."

"The solution must be promoted more in the market."
"The tool's reports are bad. They're not very customizable or flexible. During audits, we often have to exclude things that aren't relevant to our organization, but we can't do that easily with the reports. They come in HTML or PDF format, and we can't compare current results with previous ones in Excel because we never receive reports in Excel."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
