User Testimonials
	Acunetix by Invicti	Metasploit
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	Rapid7 It is easy to use with sufficient documentation on how to use the tools for end users or newbies. Experienced testers will find it easy to customise and configure the test cases. Just wished that I could have taken up a course on using this tool in my study days so that I could had explored more and improved my familiarity with the tool, unlike when working where access and time to explore the other features of the tool is limited 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. Incentivized Aaron Bryson Director - Red Team (Application, Mobile, Cloud, IoT security, etc.) Read full review	Rapid7 Easy to use. Many exploits available. Multi-platform.

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	Rapid7 More robust menus Better plugin inter-operation Incentivized Alan Matson, CCNA:S, MCP Senior Network Security Engineer 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	Rapid7 Metasploit is the most well-known tool in the average pen tester's toolkit. It's hard to compare to its neighbor's due to its size and following. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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	Rapid7 Positive: Improves efficiency of our network penetration testing operations. Positive: Allows for collaboration and information sharing during a penetration test. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
