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.

Acunetix is a powerful tool for security scanning and it's ease of use and setup. I frequently use this because this helps identify vulnerabilities like SQL injection, along with its ease of implementation and integration with CI/CD and it easily integrated with the web application in hand. The customer support is great and provides answers to queries quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could improve in few areas like setting up demos on how some complex configurations work and what are the use cases it solves. It can also resource intensive for large applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Acunetix delivers precise and rapid vulnerability scanning through an intuitive interface. The platform generates comprehensive reports and offers prompt remediation guidance, ensuring thorough coverage for both web applications and APIs. This makes the process of conducting security assessments efficient and dependable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, scans can be quite resource-intensive and may take longer to complete when working with large applications. Additionally, I feel that the pricing structure could be more accommodating, especially for smaller teams or projects with a limited scope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

This is one of the best security tools available on the market today. It continues to evolve and improve. By using it, web applications become more secure. Additionally, it helps identify most hidden pages on any website, especially those concealed through cookies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The vulnerability detection is inconsistent, and the scanning process tends to be slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there is NOTHING I like best about Acuntix any more. I have been a subscriber since 2015 and something changed in 2019 where things started going downhill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The online scanner has become basically useless. Product has not materially improved or changed since at least 2015. Customer support is non-existant.

On each renewal our account goes offline for MONTHS. Many emails back and forth to get them to turn the account back on even if I include the receipt from their own system showing the account as paid.

One year they ended up deleteing ALL of our records.

Crappy company. Stay FAR away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good OWASP scans and reports and automation and great product other than the licensing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their licensing model is the worst I have ever used! They sell you target URLs committed by annual contract, but if a user deletes a target from the UI and tries to replace it with another because something changed in your business model, that target license is unusable until the next annual renewal. You can't even add back in the URL you removed. I can understand a hold period like a month to prevent license swapping, but mixing a consumption model, and a subscription model is ridiculous!!! And if you want to add licenses to cover the interim, you can't. You have to extend to your entire current term. And this little nugget is only buried in the help file about adding new scan target URLs. We use the 360 product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
