Gabriel Woolverton - PeerSpot reviewer
Penetration Tester at a tech consulting company with 1-10 employees
Open source and easy to set up
Offensive Security Penetration Testing Services has a rating system for how exploitable vulnerability is, but that rating system does not really give you any transparency into how the rating for that exploit was reached. It would be useful to see on the back end what data led them to specify that a specific exploit may not be very good or may be great. If we had some data correlated with that, we could see why it is that this one should be successful versus another.

Security Consultant at Deloitte
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.
