Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We are able to create a report which shows the PCI DSS scoring and share it with the application teams. Then, they can correlate and see exactly what they need to fix, and why.""There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple.""It's very user-friendly for the testing teams. It's very easy for them to understand things and to fix vulnerabilities.""Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed at which it can scan multiple domains in just a few hours.""The tool's most valuable feature is performance.""Acunetix is the best service in the world. It is easy to manage. It gives a lot of information to the users to see and identify problems in their site or applications. It works very well.""Their technical support has been very active. If I have an issue, I can reach out to them and get an answer pretty quick."

"Invicti's best feature is the ability to identify vulnerabilities and manually verify them.""The best features of Invicti are its ability to confirm access vulnerabilities, SSL injection vulnerabilities, and its connectors to other security tools.""This tool is really fast and the information that they provide on vulnerabilities is pretty good.""One of the features I like about this program is the low number of false positives and the support it offers.""Scan, proxify the application, and then detailed report along with evidence and remediations to problems.""The scanner and the result generator are valuable features for us.""The most attractive feature was the reporting review tool. The reporting review was very impressive and produced very fruitful reports.""The scanner is light on the network and does not impact the network when scans are running."

Cons
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis.""I had some issues with the JSON parameters where it found some strange vulnerabilities, but it didn't alert the person using it or me about these vulnerabilities, e.g., an error for SQL injection.""Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents.""The vulnerability identification speed should be improved.""Acunetix needs to improve its cost.""Currently only supports web scanning.""Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS.""The solution can be improved by adding the ability to scan subdomains automatically, and by providing reports that can be exported to external databases to share with other solutions."

More Acunetix Cons →

"Invicti takes too long with big applications, and there are issues with the login portal.""The scanning time, complexity, and authentication features of Invicti could be improved.""I think that it freezes without any specific reason at times. This needs to be looked into.""The custom attack preparation screen might be improved.""The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective. There are URL restrictions that consume our license. Compared to other DAST solutions and task tools like WebInspect and Burp Enterprise, Invicti is very expensive. The solution’s scanning time is also very long compared to other DAST tools. It might be due to proof-based scanning.""Reporting should be improved. The reporting options should be made better for end-users. Currently, it is possible, but it's not the best. Being able to choose what I want to see in my reports rather than being given prefixed information would make my life easier. I had to depend on the API for getting the content that I wanted. If they could fix the reporting feature to make it more comprehensive and user-friendly, it would help a lot of end-users. Everything else was good about this product.""The scannings are not sufficiently updated.""It would be better for listing and attacking Java-based web applications to exploit vulnerabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "When we looked at all other vendors and what they were asking for, to provide a third of what Acunetix was capable of doing, it was an easy decision... But now that it's coming to a cost where it's line with market value, it becomes more of a competition... Acunetix is raising the cost of licensing. It's 3.5 times what we were initially quoted."
  • "Acunetix was around the same price as all the other vendors we looked at, nothing special."
  • "The pricing and licensing are reasonable to a point. In order to run multiple scans at a time, we are going to have to purchase a 100 count license, which is an overkill. Though, compared to what we were paying for, the cost seems reasonable."
  • "All things considered, I think it has a good price/value ratio."
  • "The costs aren't very expensive. It costs around $3000 or $4000."
  • "I would say that Acunetix is expensive because there are products on the market with similar features that are equally or better-priced."
  • "The pricing is a little high, and moreover, it's kind of domain-based."
  • "When compared with other products, the pricing is a little bit high. But it gives value for the price. It serves the purpose and is worthwhile for the price we pay."
  • More Acunetix Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is competitive in the security market."
  • "OWASP Zap is free and it has live updates, so that's a big plus."
  • "We never had any issues with the licensing; the price was within our assigned limits."
  • "I think that price it too high, like other Security applications such as Acunetix, WebInspect, and so on."
  • "The price should be 20% lower"
  • "Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license."
  • "We are using an NFR license and I do not know the exact price of the NFR license. I think 20 FQDN for three years would cost around 35,000 US Dollars."
  • "Invicti is best suited for large enterprises. I don't think small and medium-sized businesses can afford it. Maintenance costs aren't that great."
