Cost considerations
Acunetix lists its license tiers publicly, so initial budgeting is straightforward. The starting subscription of roughly $4-7 k per year for five targets is comparable to many mainstream DAST tools. Because pricing scales mainly by the number of web apps scanned, total spend can climb quickly as an organization adds targets, reducing cost predictability

Functionality
Acunetix automatically scans web applications for the OWASP Top 10 and many other vulnerabilities, hooks into Jenkins, GitLab and Azure DevOps pipelines, and generates compliance reports for standards like PCI and NIST. Coverage is limited to dynamic testing, so issues in source code or cloud workloads need separate tooling, keeping functionality slightly below the most comprehensive suites.

Compatibility
Acunetix plugs into the leading CI/CD services, ticketing systems, and container platforms, letting most DevOps teams add dynamic scans with little extra work. It understands the mainstream web languages and frameworks companies use today, although native code or mobile projects may still need another product. Feedback shows integrations run reliably once set up, but configuring complex logins or scan triggers can take some initial tuning.

User experience
Acunetix offers an orderly dashboard, clear menus, and scan alerts that highlight urgent risks for users. Customer reviews on Capterra and G2 state that both security and non-technical staff can run scans and understand reports with little training. Some reviewers mention that advanced settings are harder to locate than in newer competitors, so usability is strong but not flawless

Customer support
Several reviewers report waiting weeks for answers from Acunetix support, indicating slow responses for standard customers. Other users note quick, knowledgeable help and the vendor offers a paid 24×7 option, but this is not included for all buyers. Because response times vary and round-the-clock help depends on an upgrade, support aligns with typical business-hours service, so the score is 3.
