We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the tool's stability and performance.""The simplicity of the solution and its ability to integrate easily with others are its most valuable aspects.""The tool helps manage microservices by providing developers with a platform to conduct tests and assessments on the web application. The custom domain option is one of the most valuable features I've found. This feature is incredibly helpful for the end-users of the web application. With the custom domain feature, you can change the lengthy link to a shorter, more memorable one. For example, instead of using a lengthy default link, you can customize it to something like imail.com, which is much easier to remember and share.""Azure Application Gateway's most valuable feature is ease of use. The configuration is straightforward. It isn't difficult to adjust the size of your instances in the settings. You can do that with a few clicks, and the configuration file is the same way. You can also set rules and policies with minimal time and effort.""Some of the key features of this solution are the low-level maintenance required, floating proxy service, and load balancing.""Microsoft Azure Application Gateway gives us a lot of benefits, including domain mapping.""It does an excellent job of load balancing.""Using policies to link and manage these URL-based routing configurations is also valuable."

"The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment.""Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product.""The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats.""The solution is stable.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use.""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.""Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."

Cons
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway is harder to manage than Imperva. It is not intuitive and stable compared to other products.""The monitoring on the solution could be better.""One of the challenges we faced was the solution does not support any other PCP protocols apart from HTTP and HTTPS.""The solution doesn’t support wildcard-based and regular expression-based rules.""Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port.""It does not have the flexibility for using public IPs in version 2.""The graphical interface needs improvement because it is not user friendly.""We have encountered some issues with automatic redirection and cancellation, leading to 502 and 504 gateway errors. So, I experienced some trouble with containers."

"The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly.""The platform's technical support services could be better.""The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not.""The dashboard could be more user-friendly.""They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap.""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.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing.""It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable."
