KashifJamil - PeerSpot reviewer
Has enabled teams to improve security testing with smooth integration and high accuracy
Acunetix has a very good ratio of fewer false positives, so users don't need to retest everything. Acunetix operates smoothly with no interruptions required, and it performs at 100% efficiency without issues in scanning anything. The solution is excellent at detecting SQL injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Acunetix integrates with every type of tool, including CI/CD tools, offering 100% integration in DevOps environments. The main benefit of Acunetix is that at the first level, users can address security issues related to penetration testing, allowing them to expose vulnerabilities and ensure all required testing is completed with very few false positives.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It generates automated reports."
"I find it to be one of the most comprehensive tools, with support for manual intervention."
"There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops."
"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program."
"The product is really easy to use."
"We use the solution for the scanning of vulnerabilities like SQL injections."
"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."
 

Cons

"There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible."
"The solution is generally stable, however, there might be room for improvement regarding glitches or bugs."
"While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations."
"I rate its stability six out of ten."
"Acunetix needs to improve its cost."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The solution limits the number of scans. It would be much better if we could have unlimited scans."
"It is difficult to create a proxy connection."
"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"It is a bit expensive. If you need to check five applications, you have to pay almost 14,000. It is an agreement for two years at 7,000 per year for only five applications. You cannot change the applications in the license. So, you are stuck with the same license for the five applications for one full year."
"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."
"The price is exceptionally high."
"The pricing is a little high, and moreover, it's kind of domain-based."
"Implementing Acunetix needs a medium or larger business agency, because you need some money to get Acunetix. It is costly, but if you care about your agency's security, then maybe it's a cost that might help you in the future."
"I would say that Acunetix is expensive because there are products on the market with similar features that are equally or better-priced."
"All things considered, I think it has a good price/value ratio."
