Cons
"There isn't too much information about it online.""Lacks resources where users can internally access a learning module from the tool.""The product should allow users to customize the report based on their needs.""Sometimes, we get some false positives.""The documentation is lacking and out-of-date, it really needs more love.""OWASP Zap needs to extend to mobile application testing.""Deployment is somewhat complicated.""They stopped their support for a short period.

More OWASP Zap Cons →

"Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing.""CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better.""I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule.""The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes."
