What do you like best about Acunetix by Invicti?

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.

What do you dislike about Acunetix by Invicti?

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.

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

What do you like best about Acunetix by Invicti?

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

What do you dislike about Acunetix by Invicti?

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.

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

Regular OWASP scans for security compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
