More Pentera Pros →

"The solution can integrate with third parties and meets standard compliance.""The dashboard is pretty intuitive, and it lets you do a drill-down analysis of each vulnerability. That is something that brings a lot of value to the organization.""The initial setup is mostly straightforward.""The tool has an easy-to-use interface.""The ease of use in terms of scanning assets is valuable.""The solution creates vulnerability tickets within the VM profile but should also include them under the Remediation tab so the fixes can be viewed in the ticketing queue.""The initial setup is very straightforward.""It's a recommended tool for penetration testers because it's effective for that purpose."

Cons
"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.""There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility.""Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering.""The price could be improved.""The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."

More Pentera Cons →

"Users get confused between VPR and CVSS ratings.""The one drawback that we have found is the reports.""The UI has room for improvement.""We'd like to see a bit more user-friendliness.""It would be helpful if Tenable could be more clear with regard to everything the solution can and cannot do with the particular license that you have.""The only drawback of the solution is that it is expensive.""They should include better customization of the dashboard, and integration tools.""It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."
