Acunetix Vulnerability Scanner Reviews & Product Details

With Acunetix OVS we can scan our product for vurneabilities with every release. It's easy to setup the scan and to generate report for developers, where they find out all found vurneabilities with clear description and test case. Also you can run the test and you will have report within few hours, so you can iterate quickly and recheck security again after developers fix the issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the scan take's too long, so we run it usualy overnight. It's also better for our infrastructure, so it's not stress tested during working hours, so in the end of the day it's really not a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick and easy configuration, installation and scanning. High performance, low false positive number, API integration with our ticketing and vulnerability tracking software. Also the Business Logic Recorder and Login Sequence Recorder are great tools to help with the scanning - You can point the scanner to every step of the business logic, so that it will check the whole process, and not only the front/starting page.

Pricing model changing often - first we bought on premise version with no target limits, now we are forced to continously change the limit target, and to pay price, which is higher every time. Acunetix lacks a pay-once no limits on premise version (and only pay for support/updates?). This would make this product also more attractive for freelance pentesters. Another thing - it lacks more options for API scanning (upload an example POST/GET request maybe?). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are using Acunetix to periodically scan our product. There is always new features added so we want to be sure, that added features is scanned.

Rapidly scans a site with constantly updated vulnerability checks. The solution is also platform focused, for example scanning for AEM-specific vulnerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The target license model is a bit clunky. Especially with having to delete targets within a certain time frame and targets getting carried over from previous years and counting against your total. The target count should be reset with the option to count previous year's targets at any time within a subsequent year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Optimal quality and complete analysis of any possible vulnerability that your WEB page presents. This platform offers you this and more when entering the WEB analysis market, the tools are nice and allow us to maintain a security of our data but in the same way it maintains the security of the users who browse and each traffic, I am happy that it works and the result is remarkable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no problem, just some annoyances in terms of the alerts that it provides every time I enter an unsafe WEB site, otherwise it always keeps me safe from a possible cyber attack and in turn notifications in case any user or virus enters to the platform it is annoying that the alert only reaches the computer or email, in this case you can add features to warn on all devices.

I like the accuracy of the scanner, the possibility to developed/add custom tests/scripts, understandable descriptions of the findings and links to external sources for more information if needed. The scanner is also extremely fast (relatively speaking) and does rarely break stuff at the end being tested/scanned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Downloading scan-data in CSV format is currently not possible, but the people at Acunetix told me this feature is heavily requested and being worked on for a next update/upgrade. Manipulating over 200 targets via the web interface is currently also a little cumbersome, but that CSV download should resolve that issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
