I have used Pentera as an automation tool both for customers and within my organization.
What I like the most about Pentera is its solution-oriented approach.
There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility. Testing with virtual servers didn't yield the same results as on-premises services, and the vendor's support was limited in addressing this issue.
I have been using Pentera for six months.
Pentera's stability is decent, although there are occasional issues. I would rate the stability as a seven out of ten.
The technical support is very good. I would rate them as an eight out of ten.
Positive
Deployment of Pentera is straightforward, requiring basic networking knowledge, making it accessible for anyone to deploy.
Pentera is expensive.
We use Pentera for routine security assessments by demonstrating vulnerabilities to customers. For example, we show them how fixing one vulnerability, like SMB, can address related vulnerabilities. Customers appreciate the visual map view of their security landscape provided by Pentera.
Pentera helped uncover a critical vulnerability for a company during the pandemic. They had in-house servers with an SMB v2 vulnerability and were using legacy software or operating systems. We demonstrated the risk by conducting ransomware testing on these unsupported servers, highlighting the urgent need for mitigation.
Automated penetration testing with Pentera has boosted our team's efficiency. Manual testing required extensive reporting and specific exploitation of vulnerabilities, which was time-consuming. Pentera streamlines the process, reducing the time and costs associated with generating reports and pinpointing vulnerabilities quickly.
Pentera's vulnerability detection capabilities have about 90% accuracy, based on personal experience. While it accurately identifies most vulnerabilities, there are instances where reported vulnerabilities are not exploitable upon further testing.
New users should consider demonstrating Pentera's capabilities to their company. Automation helps uncover hidden vulnerabilities, improving security and highlighting areas for enhancement.
Overall, I would rate Pentera as an eight out of ten.
The solution is used for test simulation. It simulates tests on all our servers to know the vulnerabilities in them.
We perform scheduled scanning. We create reports for the system administrators.
We schedule scans to find all the vulnerabilities. The product is easy to use. It is useful for cybersecurity. It keeps the organization secure.
The price could be improved.
I have been using the solution for three years.
I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten.
I rate the tool’s scalability a nine out of ten. We have 700 users. We have four people on the technical team to maintain the product.
It’s easy to deploy the tool. We deploy the tool on our server.
The solution provides security.
I don't operate the system. I will recommend the solution to others for automated security validation. It is scalable and easy to set up and use. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
