More GitLab Pros →

"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats.""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.""We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use.""Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market.""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 valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities.""We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."

Cons
"We do face issues in our company when we run out of disk space.""The tool should include a feature that helps to edit the code directly.""The solution does not have many built-in functions or variables so scripting is required.""The price of GitLab could improve, it is high.""For as long as I have used GitLab, I haven't encountered any major limitations. However, I think that perhaps the search functionality could be better.""I don't really like the new Kubernetes integration because it is pretty focused on the on-premise environment, but we're in a hybrid environment.""The initial setup was quite challenging because it takes some time to understand how to pull out or push the code.""GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."

More GitLab Cons →

"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 dashboard could be more user-friendly.""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.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing.""It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly.""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."
