Gareth Davies for Darknet.org.uk Reviews Acunetix

“Acunetix Online Vulnerability Scanner is responsive, scalable and centralised with unmatched deep crawling and scanning capabilities. If you compare it to the on-premise solution, it’s simple to use, there’s no maintenance (as its cloud based) and it’s very competitively priced.
Overall I think it’s a great tool and I’m glad to see a company like Acunetix, who has a great software scanner moving more into a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) style offering. It suits the mobile pen-testing consultant a lot more, especially with agile teams working together the old methods of generating reports with software on each engineer laptop was cumbersome and hard to scale.” Read the Review »
