Acunetix Reviews

It is a security assessment tool to perform Vulnerability assessment on web applications. It will give details information of each vulnerability of web application with remediation.

It is easy to use; it will help to find security vulnerabilities in web applications, and it also provides report standard wise like SANS,OWASP etc

We can find all web application vulnerabilities by a standard; we can get reports like OWASP Top 10, SANS 25 and more. It will provide detailed remediation for each exposure. Easy to configure and perform Vulnerability Assesments.

Acunetix is a very easy-to-use vulnerability analysis tool. Accunetix can detect most of the vulnerabilities. Best tools for automation testing.

Noting to say. Every pentester use love this tool.

Accunitix saves lots of time for a pentester. It automatically detects vulnerabilities. You just need to verify a false positive.

Acunetix By Invicti

I started with finding remote code execution where sometime before i have used vulnerability scanner but they give false positives and now after this usage everything drawn apart where i find the reports very crucial and persistent in terms of clear indication

So far it's working and persistent reports don't give me false positives and I find myself very much stuck to its best and most accurate solutions.

Some areas like LFI and reconnaissance may require more inceptions.

Threat management nowadays getting difficult to envelope but this given a clear and persistent reports where it helped to plan enterprise costing of administration and security solutions.

The reduction of False positives is the beat feature of Acunetix

The license policies are not flexible. It should be made flexible for customers

It is reducing our time of manual scanning the application for vulnerabilities. Its also reducing our time by giving less false positive issues.

One of the best web vulnerability scanners. Updates are released timely. Includes most of the well known and critical vulnerabilities.

To download the demo software you need to give your contact details.

A must-try for automated web vulnerability scanning.

Automated scanning of vulnerabilities of a website is made easy by this software.

Easy to administrate and good reports set

I can´t use it on different OS at the same time.

Excellent tool for ethical hacking

Useful for ethical hacking and security breach detection.

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.

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.

For us the Acunetix OVS is easiest solution for vulnerability scan of web application we develop. The reports are very clear and easy to understand even for junior developers or non tech business users.

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 before public release. The main benefit for us is that we have security scan done within few hours and we will get Developers report, which is very useful. There is also setting where you can generate report's in other format, such as OWASP, which is useful for our security team and business.

- It provides detailed information about the found vulnerabilities.

- It alerts you of web application configuration problems.

- It also allows you to locate and fix the vulnerability very quick.

- Our customers are happy.

While using Acunetix Vulnerability Scanner I couldn't found any disadvantages. For our functioning SOC we see only advantages from Acunetix.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I like almost all features of Acunetix. specially Login sequence recorder and Business Logic recorder. Those features are very useful when it comes to Scanning Web Applications which have Multifactor Authentication Enabled.

I don't have anything I dislike. So far everything is so good.

Highly recommended for Web Vulnerability Scanning.

When it comes to Vulnerability Management Acunetix is the best tool as it supports Instant scans, Future scans and Recurrent Scans. Also, Comparison report feature is one of the best features. I like SDLC integration very much as well.

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.

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.

Acunetix and Netsparker are products of the same parent company. I personally prefer the Acunetix (desktop/local install) scanner for the use case I currently have - but it might be worth checking them both. I am considering the installation on a Internet VPS instead of on a dedicated laptop. My tool set consists of tools such as BurpSuite and a bunch of custom Python scripts, but having a scanner such as Acuntix to get through the bulk is indispensable from my point of view. We are considering a future upgrade to Acunetix 360 and integration with ITSM tools, but for the moment a standalone scanner on a dedicated laptop is doing the trick. When comparing multiple vulnerability scanners, it might make sense to have a few broken web applications handy to launch the scanner against - but understand that the scanner can never be a substitute for dedicated and manual testing : a experienced tester will almost always find stuff that the scanner does not pick-up.

Having to test hundred of web applications, a reliable scanner such as Acunetix to quickly weed-out the most obvious vulnerabilities to then manually zoom into the worst applications is indispensable considering the amount of applications I need to check in a fairly short time-frame. It is not a surrogate for manual/specialized testing of web-applications, but no scanner on the market is able to claim that anyway.
