Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is related to US usage with TLS contact fees, i.e. how more data center connections will help lower networking costs.""We have found multiple issues in our embedded system network protocols, related to buffer overflow. We have reduced some of these issues.""Whatever the test suit they give, it is intelligent. It will understand the protocol and it will generate the test cases based on the protocol: protocol, message sequence, protocol, message structure... Because of that, we can eliminate a lot of unwanted test cases, so we can execute the tests and complete them very quickly."

"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities.""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.""The solution is stable.""Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market.""The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment.""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."

Cons
"It does not support the complete protocol stack. There are some IoT protocols that are not supported and new protocols that are not supported.""Sometimes, when we are testing embedded devices, when we trigger the test cases, the target will crash immediately. It is very difficult for us to identify the root cause of the crash because they do not provide sophisticated tools on the target side. They cover only the client-side application... They do not have diagnostic tools for the target side. Rather, they have them but they are very minimal and not very helpful.""Codenomicon Defensics should be more advanced for the testing sector. It should be somewhat easy and flexible to install."

"The dashboard could be 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.""The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not.""The reporting has a very limited customization capability.""It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific.""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."
