It's been user friendly, for a guy with out web security experience.
What do you like best about the product?
It's really easy to use. Some of the good things are how fast does the scan takes to complete.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hmm, well, I think there are a lot of improvements to work on, specially in the Front end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Well, one of the biggest problems we have resolve is preventing our application to be exposed with certain vulnerabilities and having our developers to come back and fix them. Our attempt is to scan everything before going live.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well, if youa are looking to implement web security assesment Acunetix can help a lot. Easy to use, confortable, results are really good after running the scans. Some if the questions we as web security auditors might come up with is How much does a scan really take? Acunetix has implements a new version (v12) which completing a scan only takes around 1 or 2 hours, refering to a complex website. But you will definitely enjoy to work with this tool.
Web security
What do you like best about the product?
The Acunetix Vulnerability tool is a fast scan utility for searching cibersecurity vulnerabilities on our websites. You can automate tasks to work easily with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The license pricing it is a little bit higher than the competence.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finding website vulnerabilities and fixing bugs.
Acunetix WVS
What do you like best about the product?
The Acunetix WVS scanner is a great tool for conducting dynamic web application vulnerability scans. The tool is very thorough and the reports are detailed and intuitive. The tool performs just as well as some of the much higher priced competitors and is certainly a leader in the space. The login sequence recorder has been greatly improved since previous versions but still has a lot of room for improvement in comparison to some of the other tools available in this space.
What do you dislike about the product?
A couple revisions ago (I believe when the product went from v10 to v11) the thick-client was replaced with a web UI for accessing the scanner. The downside is that running a scan often creates a DoS condition of its own web UI due to all of the scanner requests going out, which prevents not only access to the UI but also from being able to monitor scan progress. If it were possible to split off the web UI from the scanning engine to separate hosts, this would alleviate the issue. Acunetix also recently moved away from an unlimited scanning license to limiting the number of applications which will be forcing us to consider alternative tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Acunetix WVS is part of our overall application security program, used to perform dynamic security testing of applications prior to deployment into production.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This a great product that provides a high amount of "bang for your buck" and will certainly complement other components of an overall application security program. Manual testing should be used in conjunction with the automated scanner. Acunetix also provides several manual testing tools to assist with this testing as well (these are free to download for anyone).
Great way to find vulnerabilities before the bad guys do
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to setup scanning and generate the reports. Adding a new URL to scan and starting the scan is just a few clicks of the mouse, and then waiting. Not much customization is required to get some great information.
What do you dislike about the product?
The scan times can take longer, if it is doing a full audit of websites with a lot of content. Some of the scans have taken upwards of 7 days to complete. However the reports are quite extensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to scan for security issues on our website products.
Once Great - Deteriorating Quickly
What do you like best about the product?
The built in Login Sequence Recorder and verification is nice. It has the ability to ingest Burp files to enumerate endpoints. When it works, it gets good coverage. The price is VERY cheap for what you get. Works great for multiple page sites.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support is based overseas and is not available 24/7. If you are in the US and you need help, the best you'll get is a single reply per day, unless you stay up all night to fix an issue. With version 12, Acunetix has stopped being able to parse our Burp files. It also does very poorly with actually crawling our single page web application. If you want to set up scheduled scans, you have to reset the schedule after every run. It'll revert back to Disabled. The only way to get it to run again is by redoing the entire schedule. Support is no help when it comes to issues. It performs very poorly on single page web applications as the version numbers increase. v10 was okay, v11 was a bit worse, v12 is unusable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Acunetix helped us to find vulnerabilities in our web application. This is helpful not only for finding and eliminating vulnerabilities, but also for providing evidence of doing so to our customers and compliance auditors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you've moved to single page web applications, stay far, far away. Acunetix might work, but probably won't. If it doesn't, you may very well find yourself with little to no support to get it functioning. Most features don't seem to function at all. If you have a multiple page web application, it'll probably work for you.
Needs Work
What do you like best about the product?
Affordable, fast and accurate scans, detailed reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface is the worst. No ability to search nor sort by columns. Their are no page views - instead, you are faced with endless scrolling. No global/holistic reporting capabilities. It is unable to handle too many HTTP requests; we encounter HTTP 429 errors just for performing bulk/sequential deletes/”mark as” operations, or even navigating from one page to another within a restricted time frame. It forces you to manually mark each vulnerability as fixed, ignored, or false positive. It has no intelligence to analyze the delta between scans to determine and report which ones have been remediated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Addressing publicly-exposed application vulnerabilities.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider other products that offer a UI that has much more functionality and is much more intuitive.
Acunetix Experience and Review
What do you like best about the product?
Scheduling and executing standard scans is easy to implement utilizing the hosted solution and the associated reports provide detailed information which is highly beneficial in addressing any identified threats. Affordability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Managing vulnerabilities has proven a bit cumbersome and have been unable to complete an full web scan to date due to the size/complexity of our application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Threat Identification
Needs improvement.
What do you like best about the product?
On premise installation for privacy/security.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too many false positives. Not enough details about what's going on during a scan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WebApp testing.
Excellent easy to use software
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity to add your targets and scan them right away. The schedule is fantastic and just means I don't have to worry about it. The reports pop up in my inbox every month to review and take action on
What do you dislike about the product?
Target limit for the tier I am on. I can only add 5 targets and once I have added them I cannot change them, so if a customer changed their website address, the target becomes useless until I renew my subscription, at which point I can re-do my targets again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a quick online scanner to scan websites that we manage at various customer sites with no VPN available. This software allows us to do this easily and quickly with clear results so we can take action fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use if you manage lots of web servers that are public facing
