We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Picks up weaknesses in our app setups.""The solution is highly stable.""Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops.""For us, the most valuable aspect of the solution is the log-sequence feature.""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.""The tool's most valuable feature is scan configurations. We use it for external physical applications. The scanning time depends on the application's code.""Acunetix has an awesome crawler. It gives a referral site map of near targets and also goes really deep to find all the inputs without issues. This was valuable because it helped me find some files or directories, like web admin panels without authentication, which were hidden.""Their technical support has been very active. If I have an issue, I can reach out to them and get an answer pretty quick."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better.""There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible.""There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others.""Acunetix needs to improve its cost.""While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations.""Acunetix needs to include agent analysis.""When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic.""Integration into other tools is very limited for Acunetix. While we're trying to incorporate a CI/CD process where we're integrating with JIRA and we're integrating with Jenkins and Chef, it becomes problematic. Other tools give you a high integration capability to connect into different solutions that you may already have, like JIRA."

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."

    Overview

    Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner is an automated web application security testing tool that audits your web applications by checking for vulnerabilities like SQL Injection, Cross site scripting, and other exploitable vulnerabilities.

    We are the fusion of former US Special Operations cyber operators, startup engineers, and frustrated cybersecurity practitioners. We see the world for what it is - bloated security tools, alert fatigue, reports filled with false positives, "checkbox" security culture, and consultants trying to pitch their "expertise".

    Our approach: We use the "Attacker's Perspective" to cut through the noise and help you find & fix security problems that matter. We deliver that attacker's perspective by running continuous, automated pen-test & red team operations, building “cyber terrain maps”, and running analytics to identify angles of attack. We deliver these capabilities as a true SaaS – no consultants, no professional services, and no “cheating” with agents or up-front configurations
