"GitLab integrates well with other platforms."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."
"CI/CD and GitLab scanning are the most valuable features."
"GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."
"The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use."

"The pricing model of GitLab is an issue for me."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"It would be really good if they integrated more features in application security."
"GitLab could improve the patch repository. It does not have support for Conan patch version regions. Additionally, better support for Kubernetes deployment is needed as part of the package."
"GitLab can improve by integrating with more tools, such as servers with Docker."
"I would like to see static analysis also embedded in GitLab. That would also help us. If there's something that it does internally by GitLab and then that is already tied up with your pipeline and then it can tell you that you're coding is good or your code is not great. Based on that, it would pass or fail. That should be streamlined. I would think that would help to a greater extent, in terms of having one solution rather than depending on multiple vendors."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration into the CI/CD pipeline, an autocomplete search tool, and more supporting documentation."
"There is a need to improve or adopt AI into the ecosystem like a co-pilot, which Microsoft has done with GitHub."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive."
"The reporting has a very limited customization capability."
"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly."
"The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly."
"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package. It is fully automated. Other web application testers programs are actually proxy software, and the proxy software gives you the flexibility of modifying the outgoing package, which will actually help you in exploiting any vulnerability in detail."
