Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops.""Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine.""The scalability is good. The scalability is more than good because it can operate both as a standalone and it can be integrated as part of applications. So that really makes it a very, very versatile solution to have.""We are able to create a report which shows the PCI DSS scoring and share it with the application teams. Then, they can correlate and see exactly what they need to fix, and why.""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.""The vulnerability scanning option for analyzing the security loopholes on the websites is the most valuable feature of this solution.""One of the features that I feel is groundbreaking, that I would like to see expanded on, is the IAS feature: The Interactive Application Security Testing module that gets loaded onto an application on a server, for more in-depth, granular findings. I think that is really neat. I haven't seen a lot of competitors doing that.""The tool's most valuable feature is performance."

"The product's initial setup phase was super easy.""The product is easy to use.""The initial setup is straightforward.""The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs.""I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments.""The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI.""We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time.""Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."

Cons
"Acunetix needs to improve its cost.""The vulnerability identification speed should be improved.""I had some issues with the JSON parameters where it found some strange vulnerabilities, but it didn't alert the person using it or me about these vulnerabilities, e.g., an error for SQL injection.""There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better.""It should be easier to recreate something manually, with the manual tool, because Acunetix is an automatic tool. If it finds something, it should be easier to manually replicate it. Sometimes you don't get the raw data from the input and output, so that could be improved.""It would be nice to have a feature to "retest" only a single vulnerability that the customer reports as patched, and delete it from the next scans since it has already been patched.""There's a clear need for a reduction in pricing to make the service more accessible.""Acunetix needs to include agent analysis."

More Acunetix Cons →

"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier.""The solution is a bit expensive.""It would be better if the solution is cloud-based.""There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings.""The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing.""There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives.""The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more.""The stability of the scans could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "Acunetix was around the same price as all the other vendors we looked at, nothing special."
  • "The pricing and licensing are reasonable to a point. In order to run multiple scans at a time, we are going to have to purchase a 100 count license, which is an overkill. Though, compared to what we were paying for, the cost seems reasonable."
  • "All things considered, I think it has a good price/value ratio."
  • "The costs aren't very expensive. It costs around $3000 or $4000."
  • "I would say that Acunetix is expensive because there are products on the market with similar features that are equally or better-priced."
  • "The pricing is a little high, and moreover, it's kind of domain-based."
  • "When compared with other products, the pricing is a little bit high. But it gives value for the price. It serves the purpose and is worthwhile for the price we pay."

  • "PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is expensive compared to other solutions."
