Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed at which it can scan multiple domains in just a few hours.""It's very user-friendly for the testing teams. It's very easy for them to understand things and to fix vulnerabilities.""The most important feature is that it's a web-based graphical user interface. That is a great addition. Also, the ability to schedule scans is great.""Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine.""One of the features that I feel is groundbreaking, that I would like to see expanded on, is the IAS feature: The Interactive Application Security Testing module that gets loaded onto an application on a server, for more in-depth, granular findings. I think that is really neat. I haven't seen a lot of competitors doing that.""The scalability is good. The scalability is more than good because it can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated as part of applications. So that really makes it a very, very versatile solution to have.""I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."

"Compared to what we used before, it's helping us to be more efficient in managing our traffic.""Its fastest and most outstanding characteristic is ensuring a development line that will not lead to applying applications or code development.""Knowing what measures we must take allows us to reduce costs associated with security in the cloud by providing early identification of a risk or a possible security breach.""We have had a number of real events where developers accidentally made commits of API keys, and we were able to detect and begin response actions in minutes. We had the API key revoked in less than five minutes in such events.""Check Point CloudGuard Code Security helps to improve the code security of our company, generating rapid and complete assessments to be able to make decisions for improvements.""We have a strong sense of security assurance when utilizing CloudGuard, as it consistently delivers outstanding protection capabilities.""The implementation of this tool for security management and control is very simple.""Automation has helped a lot to identify and automatically execute policies, rules, and blocks due to its machine learning."

Cons
"We want to see how much bandwidth usage it consumes. When we monitor traffic we have issues with the consumption and throttling of the traffic.""Currently only supports web scanning.""When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic.""The only problem that they have is the price. It is a bit expensive, and you cannot change the number of applications for the whole year.""Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS.""Acunetix needs to improve its cost.""Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents.""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 →

"They could include web functionalities such as sandboxing.""There needs to be better security around API integration.""The ease of use could be better.""I would like this solution to be extended to cellular devices or tablets.""There are a lot of opportunities for how they can use their technology to do more. That would be more like sensitive data discovery and other things besides Git Repos, but then you are expanding the scope of what necessarily their product is.""This is a highly technical solution for users who do not have security experience. It requires specialized knowledge of configurations to use it correctly.""The costs are not transparent.""We need to have many of the baselines or development guides providing less complex writing or development."

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."

  • "It is extremely affordable and high value for cost."
