Cons
"They have to improve support.""Scans become slow on large websites.""AppScan is too complicated and should be made more user-friendly.""I would like to see the roadmap for this product. We are still waiting to see it as we have only so many resources.""We would like to see a check in the specific vulnerabilities in mobile applications or rooted devices, such as jailbreaking devices.""The pricing has room for improvement.""There are so many lines of code with so many different categories that I am likely to get lost. ​""The databases for HCL are small and have room for improvement."

"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better.""I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule.""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.""The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes."
