Cons
"The solution could improve by having a mobile version.""Scans become slow on large websites.""Sometimes it doesn't work so well.""One thing which I think can be improved is the CI/CD Integration""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""The solution needs to improve in some areas. The tool needs to add more languages. It also needs to improve its speed.""I would like to see the roadmap for this product. We are still waiting to see it as we have only so many resources.""They should have a better UI for dashboards."

"I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule.""CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better.""The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes.""Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."
