"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use."
"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."
"It is fully automated."
"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."
"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats."

"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. Right now, it's a bit expensive."

"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway's first deployment is complex. It needs to improve its pricing."
"The solution has many limitations. You cannot upgrade the VPN to the application gateway. So I started with version one, which has limited capabilities, and they provided version two. And unfortunately, I cannot upgrade from v one to v two like other services. So I have to decommission the version one and create a new one with version two. Also the version one was complex with the certificates uploading the SQL certificates."
"Implementing and standardizing the solution across the IT landscape in a heterogeneous environment is painful."
"The product's performance should be better."
"In the next release, the solution could improve the integration with Service Mesh and other Azure Security Services."
"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."
"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly."
"The reporting has a very limited customization capability."
"The report customization needs to be better."
"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."
"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."
