"There is not a central management for static and dynamic."
"The solution needs to improve in some areas. The tool needs to add more languages. It also needs to improve its speed."

"We would like to integrate with some of the other reporting tools that we're planning to use in the future."
"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 conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."
"The reporting has a very limited customization capability."
"The platform's technical support services could be better."
"The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly."
"The report customization needs to 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."
