Acunetix makes web application scanning simple. Once purchased, it takes less than two minutes to install the software and begin running a scan. Acunetix has exceeded our expectations. The tool is extremely user-friendly, without sacrificing any of the power or flexibility. Vulnerability scans allow you to get very granular with your web app and can be customized to meet your specific need. At the most basic level, you can throw the default settings at your whole app, or select specific files, directories, and components of your site that you want to scan or not scan, and you can optimize the scan for certain technologies. We are primarily a .NET shop, although we also utilize Java, PHP, and a minimal amount of several other frameworks and we couldn't be happier with the results we are getting. Scanning prior to production is big for us, and fixing the issues early saves us a lot of time in the long run. If we modify part of one of our apps, we can quickly re-scan only that portion without having to re-do an entire scan. The biggest attraction with Acunetix is definitely the results. It yields more results for web application vulnerabilities than any other scanner that we have used in the past and what is shocking is that the scans are very time efficient. The reporting capabilities are great and provide comprehensive remediation information on all the results that are found. Technical questions or issues have been few and far between, but when they do arise, the support team has been very easy to work with and responds to our requests very quickly. New versions of the tool consistently bring in new functionality and continue to excite us. We can't wait for the next release! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Acunetix is fantastic for dynamic web app scanning, that is all it does. There is rather minimal support for other types of vulnerability detection techniques and other layers of security. The tool has started to evolve and provide some interactive capabilities. We utilize the AcuSensor feature which gives us the exact line of source code where the scan found a vulnerability, and is very useful. However, it is only available for .NET and PHP, and it doesn't currently support Java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration into Development workflows, broad api vulnerability coverage, automated and proof based scans and ease of use and implementaion with good UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Customer support issues with more detailed technical issues, cost involving the frequency of use. 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.
Acunetix has a user-friendly UI, is easy to configure and run and produces reliable results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The licensing model is not as granular as it could be which means that planning is needed for scaling up or down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have experienced that some vulnerabilities still can't be detected by Acunetix and still need manual VA of the application, so guys, please don't rely 100% on automated tools like Acunetix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Acunetix is good tool for scanning vulneraility in websites. I have scaned more than 30 web application with Acunetix and result was good. It provides a quick way to find vulnerability in webapplication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can't relay 100% on automated tools like Acunetix, still there is a need for manual assessments for the webapplications. There are lot of cases where I was able to found more vulnerbities dispite of the Acunetix scan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It assists in identifying and repairing website flaws reducing the likelihood of attacks and data theft. The scanning tool is extremely intelligent and can identify even the most complex security issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is unable to identify every vulnerability on its own. Manual evaluations are still necessary for web applications, and depending only on automation increases the risk of overlooking significant problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
