"The user interface is really good so that helps with huge teams who need to collaborate."
"This product is always evolving, and they listen to the customers."
"CI/CD and GitLab scanning are the most valuable features."
"The SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning."
"The initial setup of GitLab is pretty simple, with no complications."
"The solution is stable."
"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is stable."
"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."
"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."
"Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product."
"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."
"Their RBAC is role-based access, which is fine but not very good."
"We have only seen a couple of issues on Gitlab, which we use for building some of the applications."
"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."
"It would be really good if they integrated more features in application security."
"There was a problem with the build environment when we were looking at developing iOS applications. iOS build require Mac machines and there are no Mac machines provided by GitLab in their cloud. So to build for mobile iOS application, we needed to use our own Mac machine within our own infrastructure. If GitLab were to provide a feature such that an iOS application could also be built through GitLab directly, that would be great."
"The initial setup was quite challenging because it takes some time to understand how to pull out or push the code."
"I don't really like the new Kubernetes integration because it is pretty focused on the on-premise environment, but we're in a hybrid environment."
"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 reporting has a very limited customization capability."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly."
"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."
