"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful."
"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."
"The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment."
"We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."
"Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product."
"One area that could be improved is the DDoS protection."
"The cost must be reduced."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The user experience, the interface, is lacking. Sometimes it's hard to find certain areas that it has alerted on."

"We have issues with reporting, troubleshooting, and analytics. AWS WAF needs to bring costs down."
"We should be able to do proper whitelisting."
"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."
"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly."
"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."
"The platform's technical support services could be better."
"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 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 could improve by offering faster fuzzing."
