Pros
"Our developers can run the attacks directly from their environments, desktops.""The vulnerability scanning option for analyzing the security loopholes on the websites is the most valuable feature of this solution.""It's very user-friendly for the testing teams. It's very easy for them to understand things and to fix vulnerabilities.""Acunetix is the best service in the world. It is easy to manage. It gives a lot of information to the users to see and identify problems in their site or applications. It works very well.""It comes equipped with an internal applicator, which automatically identifies and addresses vulnerabilities within the program.""Their technical support has been very active.

Cons
"The pricing is a bit on the higher side.""Acunetix needs to be dynamic with JavaScript code, unlike Netsparker which can scan complex agents.""While we do have it integrated with other solutions, it could still offer more integrations.""The solution's pricing could be better.""We have had issues during upgrades where their scans worked on some apps better with previous versions. Then, we had to work with their tech support, who were great, to get it fixed for the next version.""Currently only supports web scanning.""In terms of what needs improvement, the way the licensing model is currently is not very convenient for us because initially, when we bought it, the licensing model was very flexible, but now it restricts us.""There is room for improvement in website authentication because I've seen other products that can do it much better."

"We are having issues with false positives that need to be resolved.""Fortify Software Security Center's setup is really painful.""This solution is difficult to implement, and it should be made more comfortable for the end-users."

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."

  • "This is a costly solution that could be cheaper."
