"It's been user friendly, for a guy with out web security experience."

5/5

What do you like best about Acunetix by Invicti?

It's really easy to use. Some of the good things are how fast does the scan takes to complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acunetix by Invicti?

Hmm, well, I think there are a lot of improvements to work on, specially in the Front end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acunetix by Invicti:

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acunetix by Invicti 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Acunetix WVS"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Acunetix by Invicti?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acunetix by Invicti?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acunetix by Invicti:

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). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acunetix by Invicti 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acunetix by Invicti solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Excellent easy to use software"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Acunetix by Invicti?

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acunetix by Invicti?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acunetix by Invicti:

Easy to use if you manage lots of web servers that are public facing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acunetix by Invicti 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent remote vulnerability scan solution"

5/5

What do you like best about Acunetix by Invicti?

The ease of setting a scan schedule and the report format of the vulnerabilities. The report format is very informative and provides information on fixes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acunetix by Invicti?

Setting up scan targets is cumbersome at times. The downloaded text file that needed to be stored in the root of the web server did not always work correctly via HTTP or HTTPS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acunetix by Invicti solving and how is that benefiting you?

Vulnerability scanning has become a mandate from PCI and other auditing industries. Acunetix provides a means to satisfy these requirements as well as providing critical infrastructure security weaknesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Needs Work"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Acunetix by Invicti?

Affordable, fast and accurate scans, detailed reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acunetix by Invicti?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acunetix by Invicti:

Consider other products that offer a UI that has much more functionality and is much more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acunetix by Invicti solving and how is that benefiting you?

Addressing publicly-exposed application vulnerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"vulnerability scan"

5/5

What do you like best about Acunetix by Invicti?

what I like most is that it is perfectly designed to find security holes in web applications, holes that attackers can exploit to cause damage or loss of money, it should be noted that it detects different vulnerabilities, such as sql injection, crlf injection, execution of malicious scripts among many others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acunetix by Invicti?

when I try to spy on a connection, it tends to stay a bit underhanded, consuming excess resources of my computer, but nevertheless it does not stop fulfilling its functions if I am in full scan of vulnerabilities and the internet access fails me also tends to stay overlapped, generating a crash in the application in some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acunetix by Invicti:

keep your applications stable and free from attackers, you should periodically analyze your applications to look for any anomaly or vulnerability that may arise. I invite you to use this wonderful software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acunetix by Invicti solving and how is that benefiting you?

currently we use this vulnerability search engine with great care, our experts in information security execute it to look for a back door in our servers, network or web application that will go out to production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"scan and keep your applications safe"

5/5

What do you like best about Acunetix by Invicti?

I like the level of the auristica, which has this sensor detects me almost all the vulnerabilities that my application, server or web page may have, in addition to having an extensive library where it explains where it comes from and what to do in front of that vulnerability, besides analyzing , each part of the source code to find back doors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acunetix by Invicti?

when I scan and I put the auria uy high, tends to consume many hardware resources of my computer, sometimes overlapping the other applications that I run for the consumption of memory, in addition, sometimes recognize false positives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acunetix by Invicti:

without a doubt it is one of the best scanners that exist today, detects almost all kinds of existing vulnerabilities and mainly the dangerous sql injections. I highly recommend its use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acunetix by Invicti solving and how is that benefiting you?

in our company before an application is put into production is scanned for any vulnerability that endangers, the data there are handled and manipulated, thus preventing intrusions by outsiders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
