ROI

Sentiment score
5.1
Aqua Cloud Security Platform increases ROI by enhancing efficiency, reducing manual tasks, and improving security and compliance efforts.
Sentiment score
6.8
Acunetix improves security by identifying vulnerabilities, saving time and money, though ROI is variable but valued by many.
The impact can reduce remediation effort by 40% to 60%, avoiding production-level fixes which are costlier.
Security Practitioner at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The main measurable benefits are faster identification and remediation of findings, fewer issues progressing to later stages, and reduced manual effort for repetitive security checks.
Information Security Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
It is generally used for the DevSecOps pipeline to scan the entire SAST, DAST, or ISC, performing excellently in that area.

6.6
Aqua Cloud Security Platform's customer support is generally favorable, with responsiveness, knowledge, but needs improvement in follow-up and proactivity.
Sentiment score
6.7
Acunetix customer service is responsive and helpful, though some users note delays and prefer reseller involvement for better support.

Senior Engineer - Penetration Tester at a government with 10,001+ employees
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.7
Aqua Cloud Security Platform offers scalable, flexible cloud security, though integration complexity and licensing costs may affect decisions.

7.0
Acunetix is versatile for large environments, easy to scale, but licensing and compatibility can be challenging for some.

Information Security Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Aqua Cloud Security Platform has good scalability because it is a SaaS platform, so I do not need to think much about scalability.
Security Practitioner at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Aqua Cloud Security Platform did not seem to have any issues with scaling.
Cloud Security Support at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees

DevOps Engineer
 

Room For Improvement

Aqua Cloud Security needs better affordability, reporting, intelligence, documentation, user interface, integrations, and AI-driven prioritization enhancements.
Acunetix users want better accuracy, integration, ease of use, and support due to high costs and limited features.
Risk prioritization in security graphs is a point where Aqua Cloud Security Platform is less mature than Wiz, which excels at identifying critical vulnerabilities as a single attack path.
Cyber Security Practice Lead at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
For the licensing part and AI-driven prioritization, this needs improvement. While Aqua Cloud Security Platform prioritizes findings using CVSS and policy context, if we compare it with Wiz and Prisma Cloud, they are increasingly using AI-driven risk scoring that incorporates exploitability, identity exposure, internet reachability, and business context.
Cyber Security Practice Lead at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
There should be stronger automation for creating tickets and tracking remediation through closure, which is particularly useful for day-to-day security operations.
Information Security Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
The main concern is related to false positives; Acunetix needs to work on identifying valid and invalid findings.
Lead Cybersecurity at TBO
I could supply it with maybe a Swagger file or a JSON file, and Acunetix would pick it up, scan all the endpoints according to the OWASP Top Ten, and give me remediation and actionable remediation reports.
Team Lead, Application Security at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
Acunetix should have better integration with newer tools such as GitHub and Azure DevOps.
CEO at Xcelliti
 

Setup Cost

Aqua Cloud's pricing is workload-based, competitive, flexible, and perceived as more cost-effective compared to Prisma and Splunk.
Acunetix pricing is considered high, with criticism over transparency and complexity, though some appreciate its value despite increases.
Compared to other vendors, Aqua Cloud Security Platform's pricing is good or lesser.
Cyber Security Practice Lead at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The license and setup costs have been reasonable, though a challenge arises when deploying the entire application in our own cloud, as we must manage everything from scratch.
Sr.Devops engineer at Scaler
Overall, it is good. Not too high, not too low.
Cyber Security Practice Lead at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The pricing cost is affordable for small and mid-sized organizations, and when compared to Checkmarx, it is significantly affordable, as Checkmarx is quite expensive.
Lead Cybersecurity at TBO
We secured a special licensing model for penetration testing companies, which is cost-effective.
Information Security Engineer at Tübitak Bilgem
The pricing of Acunetix is pretty expensive and could be improved.

Featured Reviews

Samir Paul - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Practitioner at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Secures cloud workloads from build to runtime and has needed simpler setup and alert tuning
Regarding how Aqua Cloud Security Platform can be improved, the first area is the complex initial setup. Deployment and configuration can be complex, especially in large environments that require skilled resources. For Kubernetes environments, initial onboarding and policy setup takes time. Compared to Wiz onboarding, it is not very straightforward, as I have also worked with Wiz. The UI is powerful but not very simple for new users, as navigation and dashboard can be overwhelming. Alert noise and tuning are required because Aqua generates a large number of initial alerts that need tuning to reduce false positives. Additionally, pricing can be high depending on workload scale, especially for large Kubernetes and multi-cloud environments. For improvements to Aqua Cloud Security Platform, I think better integration with SOAR and XDR platforms, more AI-driven prioritization, and providing simpler out-of-the-box policies would be beneficial.
Rahul Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Engineer - Penetration Tester at a government with 10,001+ employees
Identifies vulnerabilities across bulk web applications but needs better support and cleaner reports
The best feature Acunetix offers is the centralized dashboard and the quality of reports it generates, which includes various options for selecting reports and developer options for directly sharing the reports with developers. The centralized dashboard of Acunetix gives visibility into the security aspects of mass applications; for instance, with more than 200 applications, it provides a valuable overview of findings and necessary fixes, along with a high-level summary that helps us achieve compliance through monthly and sometimes weekly scanning. In terms of reporting, Acunetix is excellent because it can generate different types of reports, such as an executive summary report, detailed reports, and developer reports that can be shared directly with developers. Acunetix positively impacts my organization by helping identify outdated libraries and applications, including legacy applications vulnerable to old attacks based on OWASP Top 10, thus aiding in compliance checks for PCI DSS and OWASP. Acunetix provides a centralized report with compliance-related aspects and a vulnerability timeline, effectively helping reduce vulnerabilities and save time.
