Cons
"Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool.""The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance.""JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved.""Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs.""Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things.""I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images.""JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard."

More JFrog Xray Cons →

"The open-source version has reporting limitations. You need to develop these capabilities yourself. Built-in reporting is an excellent feature for penetration testing, but it isn't a must-have. The solution could also cover more vulnerabilities. Metasploit has around 10,000 exploits in its library, but more is always better.""We'd like them to offer better coverage of malware.""Advanced Infrastructure should be implemented in the next release for better orchestration.""Better automation capabilities would be an improvement.""The solution is not very scalable, it does not provide any automation to be able to scale it.""I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors.""Rapid7 Metasploit could be made easier for new users to learn.""The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
