Pros
"I did not have any issues with the stability of Github. It worked seamlessly.""The initial setup was easy.""I use this solution to store my code in a repository so we can manage version control which is useful.""Complication free with good ability for third-party integrations.""The product has a good UI. It's simple and easy to access, and technical help is easily available.

More GitHub Pros →

"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.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use.""The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful.""The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats.""Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product.""The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities.""We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities.""The solution is stable."

Cons
"There could be more integration into Azure.""I would like a more graphical, user-friendly UI, to avoid writing so much code on cmd.""As of now, if I would like to learn about GitHub or its features, I would have to look on YouTube. It would be nice if they were able to send out a newsletter with explanations of new features that they are offering and what features are available.""The security for this solution could be tightened up and improved.""They're improving the work items to track the progress of the team, but in my experience, Azure DevOps is better in this functionality. GitHub needs to improve the form to track the progress of the work done by a team.""I would like to see integration with Slack such that all of the changes made in GitHub are reflected there.""The initial setup and implementation could be easier, I had some difficulties with it at first but I don't have a development background.""The storage for this solution could be improved."

More GitHub Cons →

"The platform's technical support services could be better.""The dashboard could be more user-friendly.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing.""The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly.""The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not.""The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers.""It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable.""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."

    Overview
    GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service. It offers all of the distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. Unlike Git, which is strictly a command-line tool, GitHub provides a Web-based graphical interface and desktop as well as mobile integration. It also provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.

    Tenable.io Web Application Scanning safely, accurately and automatically scans your web applications, providing deep visibility into vulnerabilities and valuable context to prioritize remediation.
