Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security.""Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you."

"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use.""We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities.""It is fully automated.""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.""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 initial setup is straightforward.""Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product."

Cons
"The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature.""What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services."

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