"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats.""The solution is stable.""It is fully automated.""We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities.""All the features are valuable to us as they offer cutting-edge scanning methods and address the latest issues with a contemporary approach. Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is highly stable. I rate it a nine out ten. Since the solution works on the Cloud, it's highly scalable. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. The setup of the solution is straightforward. The Return on Investment is substantial. I recommend the solution to all.""The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment.""Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market.""It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."

Cons
"The product could be easier to use and implement.""The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive.""The solution doesn’t support wildcard-based and regular expression-based rules.""It takes a lot of time for a certificate to update in the system. That is a huge drawback, affecting the load-balancing side. And when there are changes to the load balancing, it affects the end-user.""The graphical interface needs improvement because it is not user friendly.""It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2.""I want the solution's support to improve. The tool is also expensive.""The solution could improve by increasing the performance when doing updates. For example, if I change the certificate it can take 30 minutes. Other vendors do not have this type of problem."

More Microsoft Azure Application Gateway Cons →

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific.""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.""The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing.""The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers.""The report customization needs to be better.""It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly.""The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
