Acunetix by Invicti Pricing Overview

What I like best about Acunetix by Invicti is how seamlessly it combines powerful vulnerability detection with ease of use. It’s not just another security scanner — it’s an intelligent, automated tool that feels built for both developers and security professionals. The way it quickly identifies and prioritizes critical vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and misconfigurations across websites and APIs saves a huge amount of manual effort. The clean, intuitive dashboard makes interpreting scan results straightforward, and the detailed remediation guidance helps teams actually fix issues rather than just list them. Plus, its integration with CI/CD pipelines and issue trackers like Jira fits perfectly into a modern DevSecOps workflow, making security testing feel like a natural part of development instead of a separate burden.

What I dislike about Acunetix by Invicti is that, despite its powerful capabilities, it can sometimes feel resource-intensive and time-consuming, especially during deep scans of large or complex web applications. The scans can slow down systems or take longer than expected, which might interrupt normal workflows. Additionally, while the tool provides a lot of valuable data, the volume of findings can be overwhelming, and filtering out false positives requires manual effort and experience. The pricing can also be on the higher side for smaller organizations or startups, which limits accessibility. Lastly, although it integrates well with other tools, setting up and fine-tuning these integrations for the first time can take some technical know-how and patience.

The platform itself is good and produces exhaustive reports. They've helped us navigate compliance and security initiatives adequately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot recommend Acunetix due to several concerning issues with both their product and business practices.

The sales process has become increasingly intricate, characterized by significant annual price increases and constantly changing target definitions. Their licensing model has also become more restrictive - once you scan a website, its URL is permanently locked to your license, unlike the more flexible approach when we first became customers.

A major technical issue emerged recently when the programmable login sequence functionality stopped working entirely. The timing was particularly problematic as it coincided with our renewal. Despite this critical feature being broken, Acunetix expected us to commit to renewal without any assurance of a resolution. When we proposed a conditional renewal with the possibility of a refund if their support team couldn't resolve the login issues, management flatly rejected our request.

Their response - "reached out to management about your request and it's not something we would be able to offer" - demonstrates a concerning lack of customer support and flexibility in addressing legitimate technical concerns.

This combination of aggressive pricing strategies, inflexible licensing, technical failures, and poor customer service has significantly diminished the value proposition of their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
