Cons
"The price could be improved.""Maybe scalability. I know that the Pentera right now is high level in order to scan big deals over 500 IPs and not less, and not less. That can be more granular. This will be useful.""The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great.""Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering.""There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility."

More Pentera Cons →

"The product is a bit expensive.""The only drawback of the solution is that it is expensive.""The pricing of the solution could be more reasonable.""I'm not satisfied with the reporting structure.""More flexibility is required compared to other solutions.""The tool's reports are bad. They're not very customizable or flexible. During audits, we often have to exclude things that aren't relevant to our organization, but we can't do that easily with the reports. They come in HTML or PDF format, and we can't compare current results with previous ones in Excel because we never receive reports in Excel.""It can have more integration.""The UI has room for improvement."
