Acunetix Vulnerability Scanner and Trust Guard Total Website Protection are both great products that offer Vulnerability Scanning, which is one of the most important things you can do to protect your website.
However, how they provide the services, and who they cater those services to are quite different. This article breaks out the main differences between the two services so that you can see which one works best for your type of business.
Here are the 4 Main Differences between Acunetix and Trust Guard:

The Size of companies they target.
The first difference between the two companies is that Qualys primarily targets large, enterprise-level companies. In addition to Vulnerability Scanning, they also have additional features and tools that larger companies must have in order to effectively protect their entire organization across multiple locations, systems, and networks.
Trust Guard on the other hand, specifically targets small to medium-sized businesses who don’t have systems large enough to justify full-time cyber security staff or need additional network monitoring.

The Price of their services.
The second difference is that because Qualys targets enterprise-level companies, their pricing is much higher. This is to be expected since they have to have a much larger infrastructure in order to be able to handle the needs of Fortune 500 companies.
Trust Guard on the other hand, is able to focus on providing the 3 main Vulnerability Scanning services that most small to medium companies (processing less than 6 million transactions per year), need in order to provide comprehensive protection for both their website and their business.

The Types of Scans offered.
While Acunetix is primarily focused on external scanning applications, which is understandable considering the size of companies that they’re providing solutions for, because Trust Guard focuses on companies doing less than 6 million transactions per year, we are able to take a more holistic approach to vulnerability scanning.
Our Total Website Protection plan includes all 3 types of Scans - External PCI Scanning, Internal Malware Scanning, and SSL Validation Scanning. These 3 scans create the most comprehensive security barrier to protect your website.

Cyber and Breach Response Insurance.
One very unique feature of Trust Guard that no other vulnerability scanner has, including Qualys, is Cyber Insurance and Breach Response Insurance. Every Trust Guard account comes with $100,000 of actual Cyber Insurance to protect your business should anything ever happen.
Plus, you also receive $100,000 in Breach Response Insurance, which covers things like Cyber Lawyers, Forensics Teams, PR Firms to help successfully guide you through a breach so that your business can recover and get back to 100% as quickly as possible.
