Attractive automated reports with boost user productivity and an easy setup
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
By using this tool, we have reduced the workload and increased the productivity of users.
What is most valuable?
It generates automated reports. This feature is beneficial when sharing reports with clients as it works as a unique selling point due to how attractive and descriptive the reports are.
What needs improvement?
The interface API and other functionalities are very good. However, the cost can be reduced as management has noted it to be on the higher side.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Acunetix for almost two years.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support provided by Acunetix is absolutely great. We received support from them at every point in time.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used Nessus in one of my previous organizations due to cost reasons. However, my current organization decided to go with Acunetix.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was easy because we had a proper software team consisting of developers, database administrators, and application teams. With the help of the vendor, we were able to implement it successfully. It took approximately three to four months.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation was carried out with the help of a consultant.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost is being handled by the procurement team, yet it is on the higher side, and there is a recommendation to reduce it.
What other advice do I have?
I would generally recommend Acunetix to any organization in the IT-enabled sector. However, I have not worked for a non-IT organization, so I cannot comment on that.
I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
Constant outages, poor detection, and lousy support
What do you like best about the product?
Honestly, there is NOTHING I like best about Acuntix any more. I have been a subscriber since 2015 and something changed in 2019 where things started going downhill.
What do you dislike about the product?
The online scanner has become basically useless. Product has not materially improved or changed since at least 2015. Customer support is non-existant.
On each renewal our account goes offline for MONTHS. Many emails back and forth to get them to turn the account back on even if I include the receipt from their own system showing the account as paid.
One year they ended up deleteing ALL of our records.
Crappy company. Stay FAR away.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated vulnerability scanning.
Acunetix is an easy to use, cost-effective DAST solution
What do you like best about the product?
Acunetix has a user-friendly UI, is easy to configure and run and produces reliable results.
What do you dislike about the product?
The licensing model is not as granular as it could be which means that planning is needed for scaling up or down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The need to assess the security of new applications developed within the organisation.
Provides proof of exploit, gives the specific code affected and enables a shift-left approach in the development process
What is our primary use case?
We are a consultant company.
How has it helped my organization?
Just by scanning, Acunetix provides proof of exploit and gives the specific code affected. You can also see a categorized list of vulnerabilities. From there, you can easily create a report.
It integrates with multiple tools in the CI/CD pipeline, like Jira and web application firewalls.
Acunetix automation improved our customer's security testing process. By integrating with CI/CD tools, it enables a shift-left approach in the development process. This helps find vulnerabilities earlier rather than after the application is published.
What is most valuable?
The interactive transaction feature is a winning point for us. It's a great selling point. Also, the ability to provide an inventory of currently used APIs is very helpful.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement in the pricing.
Tenable is better integrated and offers many tools in a bundle. I would like to see the same thing in Acunetix. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with Acunetix's performance.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for three years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We propose this product for smaller or bigger businesses.
But mostly to bigger enterprises. It's because of the reputation it has with bigger companies.
How are customer service and support?
Acunetix provides good support. No complaints.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Acunetix stands out with its metrics, features, and Proof of Exploit. Other solutions we've used don't have those.
There is also Tenable.io Web App Scanning. Tenable's advantage is how it handles vulnerability management. For example, if you have Ansible vulnerability management, you can see both sets of information in a single pane. The only other difference might be pricing, but I'm not entirely sure about that.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. Considering everything is in place, it will take about two weeks.
What about the implementation team?
We usually help our customers implement the product.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price is reasonable. We don't have many complaints from customers.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Acunetix to others for their web vulnerability scanning needs.
Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.
Easy to use and helps scan for vulnerabilities, but the deployment process is difficult, and the support must be improved
What is most valuable?
The product is really easy to use. It is a useful product. If you are a security engineer and don't have experience in the tool, you can learn it quickly. We are using Acunetix on our XDR process. We use it to scan applications and create reports for the developers. We use the scheduler to schedule scans. We can use a scan simulation to see whether the connection is established correctly. We can see where the issue is. It is great because we can find the bugs. We can create authenticated scans.
What needs improvement?
The deployment process must be improved. It is difficult to create a proxy connection.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for five years.
How are customer service and support?
The support is not perfect. The support could be improved. I often have to write to managers to push things.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
I work with on-premise and on-the-cloud products. I faced a huge problem when I tried to install cloud agents. We needed a proxy connection, but Acunetix had a problem creating the connection. I worked with the support for a month. It started working, but the agent caused the bug.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have used Snyk, Qualys, and Tenable. I have worked with other tools that are more helpful and have more functionality than Acunetix. Acunetix is suitable for small companies.
What other advice do I have?
We use Acunetix via API with our bucket. When developers try to push some part of the code, Acunetix is used to analyze the vulnerabilities. The integration of Acunetix with Jira and other buckets is easy. Acunetix is not very different from the other vulnerability scanners. It is not the best solution. The connection is via API. We get the link and change the token between the connections. The integration is not easy, but it's not hard. Bigger companies with a lot of developers can get better tools. Overall, I rate the tool a six or seven out of ten.
Provides web application testing and identify security risks
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution for web application testing.
What is most valuable?
The solution identify security risks.
What needs improvement?
There could be extensions that help us perform test cases related to AI bots or element-based testing. Implementing such extensions internally could be beneficial for enhancing the testing capabilities.
Sometimes it takes too much time to complete, maybe because the application is huge or we have not properly configured the scan settings. Due to these challenges, the scan often stops in between.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Acunetix for seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product is stable.
I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability depends on the license that we avail. I rate the solution’s scalability a nine or ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support is helpful, but sometimes the response are a bit delayed. They respond within 24 hours.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward and takes an hour to complete.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product pricing is average.
I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend the solution as we didn't have some specific extensions for any failure testing and SSO related testing.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Great when it works but tool can be quite buggy
What do you like best about the product?
Reporting functionality options and results are great
What do you dislike about the product?
There always seem to be an issue with scans, 90% of scans have some sort of error. Mainly with the login sequence despite validating that credntials are correct.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We rely on Acunetix to help identify vulnerabilities in our applications before releasing the apps to the public, thus trying to limit our threat landscape.
Good product for scans, "target" licensing model is terrible! - Buyer beware
What do you like best about the product?
Good OWASP scans and reports and automation and great product other than the licensing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their licensing model is the worst I have ever used! They sell you target URLs committed by annual contract, but if a user deletes a target from the UI and tries to replace it with another because something changed in your business model, that target license is unusable until the next annual renewal. You can't even add back in the URL you removed. I can understand a hold period like a month to prevent license swapping, but mixing a consumption model, and a subscription model is ridiculous!!! And if you want to add licenses to cover the interim, you can't. You have to extend to your entire current term. And this little nugget is only buried in the help file about adding new scan target URLs. We use the 360 product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Regular OWASP scans for security compliance.
Helps to scan web applications but needs to include agent analysis
What is our primary use case?
We use the product for dynamic analysis. It also helps us to scan web applications.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
Acunetix needs to include agent analysis.
