Acunetix Online Premium

Most of the customers who use Acunetix  are looking for security testing. The primary use case is performing penetration testing.

The main use cases include vulnerability scanning, security testing, penetration testing, PCI DSS reporting, and multi-user environment support, which excels in SQL injection and cross-site scripting detection.

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.

Acunetix should improve by further reducing false positives and providing more customized reports, plus better integration with newer tools such as GitHub  and Azure DevOps .

What do you like best about the product?

The platform itself is good and produces exhaustive reports. They've helped us navigate compliance and security initiatives adequately.

What do you dislike about the product?

I cannot recommend Acunetix due to several concerning issues with both their product and business practices.

The sales process has become increasingly intricate, characterized by significant annual price increases and constantly changing target definitions. Their licensing model has also become more restrictive - once you scan a website, its URL is permanently locked to your license, unlike the more flexible approach when we first became customers.

A major technical issue emerged recently when the programmable login sequence functionality stopped working entirely. The timing was particularly problematic as it coincided with our renewal. Despite this critical feature being broken, Acunetix expected us to commit to renewal without any assurance of a resolution. When we proposed a conditional renewal with the possibility of a refund if their support team couldn't resolve the login issues, management flatly rejected our request.

Their response - "reached out to management about your request and it's not something we would be able to offer" - demonstrates a concerning lack of customer support and flexibility in addressing legitimate technical concerns.

This combination of aggressive pricing strategies, inflexible licensing, technical failures, and poor customer service has significantly diminished the value proposition of their product.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it to perform pen tests for our singular SaaS application between milestone releases.
