Acunetix WVS- Easy to Install, Configure, and Use. High Value, Affordable Cost.
What do you like best about the product?
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!
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The price point of Acunetix has allowed us to get licenses in the hands of most of our developers, engineers, and consultants, which has been a real benefit to us. We've been able to integrate vulnerability scans into our development process , and nothing gets deployed without getting scanned first. Instead of having to make changes and fix problems after the fact and then re-deploy to the production environment once completed, we are now able to do most of the work on the front-end. We also host application for clients in our data-center and have starting scanning their sites for any issues as well. That practice is currently in it's infancy, but so far our clients have been thrilled with the results and we are excited to see it expand!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to install the ancillary Acunetix features such as AcuSensor and AcuMontior. We discovered them after having used the product for quite a while and our experience has been significantly enhanced. Make sure you stay up to date with the newest versions. As new vulnerability checks are added to the tool, a notification pops up within the Acunetix interface when you open it, and prompts you to update. When a new version is released, Acunetix sends you an email (to the email you provided when you first activate your license, unless you provide them with contact info change) and then you re-download the full version of the software. It is a simple, less than two minute download, but can be confusing if you don't know that you need to re-download the license to capture the new version update (especially if you aren't getting the emails since you didn't activate the license yourself).
