Comprehensive risk analysis helps identify key performance trends but report access needs improvement
My first feedback for Apiiro is that it is very slow, extremely slow. The moment I select from the entire list of repositories in my vertical, which is almost more than 400 repositories, it takes a lot of time for me to load the report. Sometimes it fails. I do not have Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). It's only given to the application security team, and Apiiro as a vendor does not have the rollback access control enabled for the clients, so that would have given me access to the reports tab, which would have made my life easier. Currently, I have to go to the risks tab to pull out all this information. I started exploring dashboards with Copilot. I need to reach out to the Apiiro teams to see if I can get an access token so that I can pull out a Power BI dashboard. I think Apiiro definitely has its own capabilities, but if there are access tokens that teams can use to build a custom dashboard, that would be great. This might already exist, but that is something which will ease the vulnerability management day-to-day activities.

Platform has strengthened attack surface visibility and vulnerability validation but needs better remediation tracking
Pentest-Tools.com could improve in a couple of areas. First, the reporting flexibility could be enhanced. Second, there should be additional automation for remediation tracking since it currently lacks automation for this, requiring me to track remediations manually using the reports. Third, deeper integration with vulnerability management workflows could be beneficial, as I should have more options for integrating the tool with other security pen testing or application scanning tools. Regarding Pentest-Tools.com's AI capabilities, I believe there should be proper boundaries managed by their team in terms of governance and security, especially when the tool provides false positive vulnerabilities. These should also be detected on the governance side and resolved within the tool rather than manually, indicating an area for improvement in governance and compliance. In terms of the accuracy and reliability of Pentest-Tools.com's AI-generated output, I feel it can provide comprehensive output and reports. However, as it is AI-generated, the pentester or user should thoroughly check and validate the output before presenting it to stakeholders or the remediation team.
