Powerful Security Scanning Made Easy with Acunetix
What do you like best about the product?
Acunetix is a powerful tool for security scanning and it's ease of use and setup. I frequently use this because this helps identify vulnerabilities like SQL injection, along with its ease of implementation and integration with CI/CD and it easily integrated with the web application in hand. The customer support is great and provides answers to queries quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could improve in few areas like setting up demos on how some complex configurations work and what are the use cases it solves. It can also resource intensive for large applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Acunetix makes web application security testing much easier by automating most of the work. It quickly finds serious issues like SQL injection, XSS, weak authentication, and configuration problem things that would take a lot of time and effort to catch manually. What I really appreciate is that everything is handled in one place: the scans, the results, and the steps to fix the vulnerabilities. It saves a lot of time and eliminates the need to juggle multiple tools.
Effortless Vulnerability Detection That Fits Seamlessly into DevSecOps
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Acunetix by Invicti is how seamlessly it combines powerful vulnerability detection with ease of use. It’s not just another security scanner — it’s an intelligent, automated tool that feels built for both developers and security professionals. The way it quickly identifies and prioritizes critical vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and misconfigurations across websites and APIs saves a huge amount of manual effort. The clean, intuitive dashboard makes interpreting scan results straightforward, and the detailed remediation guidance helps teams actually fix issues rather than just list them. Plus, its integration with CI/CD pipelines and issue trackers like Jira fits perfectly into a modern DevSecOps workflow, making security testing feel like a natural part of development instead of a separate burden.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Acunetix by Invicti is that, despite its powerful capabilities, it can sometimes feel resource-intensive and time-consuming, especially during deep scans of large or complex web applications. The scans can slow down systems or take longer than expected, which might interrupt normal workflows. Additionally, while the tool provides a lot of valuable data, the volume of findings can be overwhelming, and filtering out false positives requires manual effort and experience. The pricing can also be on the higher side for smaller organizations or startups, which limits accessibility. Lastly, although it integrates well with other tools, setting up and fine-tuning these integrations for the first time can take some technical know-how and patience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Acunetix by Invicti is solving the critical problem of identifying and mitigating web application vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. In today’s digital landscape, where websites and APIs are prime targets, Acunetix helps by automatically scanning for weaknesses like SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), insecure server configurations, and outdated components. What makes it especially beneficial is how it provides accurate, actionable insights rather than just raw data — helping security teams and developers understand where the issues lie and how to fix them efficiently. For me, this translates to saved time, stronger security posture, and peace of mind, knowing that potential threats are caught early in the development cycle. Its integration with DevOps tools also ensures that security becomes part of the continuous delivery process, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities making it into production and helping maintain compliance with security standards.
