"There are occasions when it interfaces with other systems, leading to a loss of visibility."
"I have faced issues with the tool's blocking aspects. It is hard to open or block web services due to the multitude of cloud centers. I have to do the process manually at times. We have a bug which is hard to solve."
"The scanner reports a lot of false positives, which is something that needs to be improved."

"There should be better visibility into the application."

"We procured around 110 licenses for Web Application Scanning, but we have issues running concurrent scans. I don't currently have the option to trigger scans for all 100-plus websites. The default limit is around 10 conference scans. It's not very scalable, to be honest, because of the limitation that they put on concurrent scans."
"There should be better visibility into the application."
