We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program.""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.""The most valuable feature of the solution is the speed at which it can scan multiple domains in just a few hours.""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.""The tool's most valuable feature is performance.""Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine.""Their technical support has been very active. If I have an issue, I can reach out to them and get an answer pretty quick.""The most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."

"When we work on safety modules, it is mandatory to fulfill ISO 26262 compliance. Using Prover helps fulfill the standard on top of many other quality checks, like division by zero, data type casts, and null pointer dereferences.""Polyspace Code Prover has made me realize it differs from other static code analysis tools because it runs the code. So it's quite distinct in that aspect.""Polyspace Code Prover is a very user-friendly tool.""The outputs are very reliable.""The product detects memory corruptions."

Cons
"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS.""The pricing is a bit on the higher side.""The vulnerability identification speed should be improved.""There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible.""Acunetix needs to include agent analysis.""The solution's pricing could be better.""You can't actually change your password after you've set it unless you go back into the administration account and you change it there. Thus, if you're locked out and don't remember your password, that's a thing.""When monitoring the traffic we always have issues with the bandwidth consumption and the throttling of traffic."

More Acunetix Cons →

"One of the main disadvantages is the time it takes to initiate the first run.""Automation could be a challenge.""I'd like the data to be taken from any format.""Using Code Prover on large applications crashes sometimes.""The tool has some stability issues."

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.

    Polyspace Code Prover is a sound static analysis tool that proves the absence of overflow, divide-by-zero, out-of-bounds array access, and certain other run-time errors in C and C++ source code. It produces results without requiring program execution, code instrumentation, or test cases. Polyspace Code Prover uses semantic analysis and abstract interpretation based on formal methods to verify software interprocedural, control, and data flow behavior. You can use it on handwritten code, generated code, or a combination of the two. Each operation is color-coded to indicate whether it is free of run-time errors, proven to fail, unreachable, or unproven.
