Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We are mostly using it for scanning the entire website. So, we basically create a script with the entire website and then run it for different injections.""BurpSuite helps us to identify and fix silly mistakes that are sometimes introduced by our developers in their coding.""It is useful for scanning and tracing activities.""The active scanner, which does an automated search of any web vulnerabilities."""The product is very good just the way it is; It has everything already well established and functions great. I can't see any way for this current version to be improved."""I personally love its capability to automatically and accurately detect vulnerabilities. So, I would say it is the Burp scanner that is THE most powerful, valuable, and an awesome feature.""PortSwigger Burp Suite does not hamper the node of the server, and it does not shut down the server if it is running.""The solution has a limited range of functions, which is good for small companies. This is because, in small companies, websites are less complex. They also have single services which makes the solution good enough for them. However, the most advantageous aspect of the solution is its affordable price."

"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market.""It is fully automated.""We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities.""The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment.""We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities.""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.""Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product.""All the features are valuable to us as they offer cutting-edge scanning methods and address the latest issues with a contemporary approach. Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is highly stable. I rate it a nine out ten. Since the solution works on the Cloud, it's highly scalable. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten.

Cons
"Mitigating the issues and low confluence issues needs some improvement. Implementing demand with the ChatGPT under the web solution is an additional feature I would like to see in the next release.""The solution’s pricing could be improved.""The technical support team's response time is mostly delayed and should be improved.""One thing that is not up to the mark in PortSwigger is web application testing. I found some issues with its performance and reporting. They should work on these and give us a better outcome.""The biggest improvement that I would like to see from PortSwigger that today many people see as an issue in their testing.

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