Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"For us, the most valuable aspect of the solution is the log-sequence feature.""There is a lot of documentation on their website which makes setting it up and using it quite simple.""The tool's most valuable feature is performance.""I haven't seen reporting of that level in any other tool.""The automated approach to these repetitive discovery attempts would take days to do manually and therefore it helps reduce the time needed to do an assessment.""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.""Picks up weaknesses in our app setups.""Overall, it's a very good tool and a very good engine."

"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.""The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI.""Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition.""The initial setup is straightforward.""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.""The product is easy to use.""I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments.""The product's initial setup phase was super easy."

Cons
"Acunetix needs to include agent analysis.""The only problem that they have is the price. It is a bit expensive, and you cannot change the number of applications for the whole year.""The pricing is a bit on the higher side.""You can't actually change your password after you've set it unless you go back into the administration account and you change it there. Thus, if you're locked out and don't remember your password, that's a thing.""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.""Tools that would allow us to work more efficiently with the mobile environment, with Android and iOS.""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.""The solution's pricing could be better."

More Acunetix Cons →

"The stability of the scans could be improved.""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.""It would be better if the solution is cloud-based.""The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing.""The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier.""The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more.""The solution is a bit expensive.""There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."

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."
