Also continous scanning option is an interesting thing for having continous security awareness of Your vulnerability level. Also login sequence recorder is an awesome tool. > > **Cons**: Not a lot of scan options to configure - especially in comparison to Nessus - every check is done in default, You can't choose specifically which test is done in selected scan, only the type of scan (full, high-risk vulnerabilities, xss, sqli, weak passwords, crawl only ) or technology in which the scanned web app is written. > > Good thing for a web application pentesting, can give You insight of a present vulnerabilities. Would recommend using in tandem with infrastructure scanner (like Nessus) to create a complete testing solution. Also presence of continous scanning and scheduler could be used for a regular security assesment of Your web applications. ----- ### "Easy to setup, nice results" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 August 2018* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to setup initially, running scans quite fast, good crawler, very nice and understandable results. > > **Cons**: The license model changed somehow in the middle of the three years, so it became impossible to continue to use it as planned without paying much more. Tools were removed. > > As a scanner it is quite good, relevant and well described findings, so far no false positives. Following an initial trial and PoC with couple of competitors, Acunetix had the best features, most suitable licensing model, good support, so we purchased a three year license. However, at some point, it all changed. The license became based on other criteria, the testing and verification tools were removed, there is no support or way of reverting to a previous version, after you realise that the changes introduced and making the software unusable or insufficient. Overall, unless there are guarantees that it won't happen again, I will be very reluctant to renew. ----- ### "Great for developers for self evaluation" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 July 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using acunetix web vulnerability scanner since last 2 years as I develop Web apps and Websites in my professional career so I like to test it by myself for the vulnerabilities. It gives me scope for improvement in my programming skills. As it gives the developer report as a part of the report its very indepth report and very useful for me to develop secure web apps I really like the web interface they have provided It reduces the dependancy of a device to carry. really good. > > **Cons**: There is nothing so far to dislike this software. As my needs are getting fulfilled by the available functionalities. Looking forward to new updates. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/171379/acunetix?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/171379/acunetix) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
