Acunetix vs ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus

Acunetix, now Invicti Web + API, scans running web applications and APIs for vulnerabilities that could be exploited. Proof-based scanning can validate findings and provide evidence of exploitability to help teams assess false positives. The product says it identifies more than 7,000 issues, including OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Top 10 risks and business logic flaws. It supports single-page and JavaScript-heavy applications, REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs, including authenticated user flows. Its AI-driven risk scoring uses more than 200 signals before scanning begins. Listed issue tracker integrations include Jira, Microsoft TFS (Azure DevOps), GitHub, GitLab, Bugzilla, and Mantis; Acunetix Premium also integrates with Jenkins. The company describes the tool as intended to help small and mid-size organizations manage web security. Pricing for Web + API is on request; a Proof of Concept license is offered to try the complete solution in an organization's environment. Agentic Pentest costs $500, paid once and covers a single application and its API suite, with audit-ready PDF reports and delivery within 24 hours.

ManageEngine Vulnerability Manager Plus identifies and assesses vulnerabilities across a network and helps teams prioritize and remediate them. Its risk prioritization uses AI-based scores, CVSS severity, EPSS and active attack trends. It includes out-of-the-box policies for more than 130 CIS benchmarks and supports downloading, testing and deploying patches across operating systems and more than 1,500 third-party applications. Pre-built, tested scripts can mitigate zero-day vulnerabilities. The product can discover network devices, scan firmware for vulnerabilities and remediate identified threats, but network-device management is on-premises only and requires extra licenses. Vulnerability Manager Plus supports Windows and Linux; macOS support is limited to patch management. It offers a free edition and a 30-day trial with unlimited endpoints. Listed annual prices include Professional On-Premises at $695 a year and Professional Cloud at $895 a year, each for 100 workstations and one technician. Enterprise options are listed at $1,195 a year on-premises and $1,545 a year in the cloud, on the same workstation and technician basis.
