User Testimonials
	Acunetix by Invicti	Kali Linux
Likelihood to Recommend	Invicti Security It is best suited for integrated security testing of applications which are hosted on web servers. The most important thing is the integration of DevSecOps which is crucial in today's fast paced environment of rapid development. The core of Acunetix is application scanning which is really great and I highly recommend this product to everyone Incentivized Rahul Deshmukh Security Solutions Architect Read full review	Offensive Security Kali Linux is especially well suited in environments where high security is needed for your custom developed applications. This is well suited for offensive testing your high security in house developed applications. It is also very good for doing penetration testing on in house developed applications and safe guarding them from external attackers. Kali Linux is tough for use as a day to day Linux operating system as this was never intended to be used by beginners and occasional Linux users. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Invicti Security Fast. Easy-to-use. Great customer support. Reporting features. Supports importing state files from other popular application testing tools. Has other features built-in beyond just scanning for vulnerabilities.

Cons	Invicti Security Configuration of DevSecOps can be improved for ease Dashboard can have API integration Broaden the scope of vulnerabilities Incentivized Rahul Deshmukh Security Solutions Architect Read full review	Offensive Security Option to deselect tools upon install Instructions for all the tools Lightweight install option Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Invicti Security ZAP is a free tool, and adequate. But it is to that extent less friendly. I would not be as confident of the results and it definitely can't produce reports on par with Acunetix. There would be a lot of legwork on our end if we desired to switch to this tool. Incentivized AE Allan Crittenden Edwards Security Analyst Read full review	Offensive Security I will Stack Kali Linux at the top of among to its similar devices.

Return on Investment	Invicti Security Saved money compared to other commercial scanners, especially over the long run. Scan speed seems to be pretty good compared to some of the bulkier commercial products out there. However, that largely has to do with proper configuration. A downside is that is requires a bit of extra work just to get it set up to scan APIs, web services, etc. Incentivized Aaron Bryson Director - Red Team (Application, Mobile, Cloud, IoT security, etc.) Read full review	Offensive Security Costs Time taken to setup Configurations needed for each use Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
