"The reporting has a very limited customization capability.""The report customization needs to be better.""The platform's technical support services could be better.""I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package.

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.""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 solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly.""It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly.""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."
