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

"Picks up weaknesses in our app setups."
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops."
"The features of Acunetix have proved most effective in identifying vulnerabilities."
"By integrating with CI/CD tools, it enables a shift-left approach in the development process."
"The vulnerability scanning option for analyzing the security loopholes on the websites is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool."
"The most valuable feature of Acunetix is the UI and the scan results are simple."
"I find it to be one of the most comprehensive tools, with support for manual intervention."
"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."
 

Cons

"The solution is generally stable, however, there might be room for improvement regarding glitches or bugs."
"Acunetix needs to improve its cost."
"Currently only supports web scanning."
"The cost can be reduced as management has noted it to be on the higher side."
"While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations."
"There are some versions of the solution that are not as stable as others."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS."
"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is based on two types of licenses, ConsultLite, and ConsultPlus, as well as the number of domains that are scanned."
"I would say that Acunetix is expensive because there are products on the market with similar features that are equally or better-priced."
"Acunetix was around the same price as all the other vendors we looked at, nothing special."
"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."
"All things considered, I think it has a good price/value ratio."
"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."
"The price is exceptionally high."
