Cons
"No third-party applications or integrations with additional software solutions."

More BMC TrueSight Vulnerability Management Cons →

"The solution should improve the responsiveness of its live technical support.""At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements.""Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration.""Metasploit cannot be installed on a machine with an antivirus.""The initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version.""It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners.""The open-source version has reporting limitations. You need to develop these capabilities yourself. Built-in reporting is an excellent feature for penetration testing, but it isn't a must-have. The solution could also cover more vulnerabilities. Metasploit has around 10,000 exploits in its library, but more is always better.""Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
