Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the web application firewall (WAF)."
"We can control what rules should be used and what should be disabled."
"I like the tool's stability and performance."
"We find it valuable because it is compatible with our existing Azure solution."
"The solution was very easy to configure. It wasn't hard at all to adjust it to our needs."
"The solution's most valuable feature is an HTTP solution and SSL certificate. It is also easy to use."
"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."
"The health probe is pretty good for your backend health. It tells you whether it's communicating and talking to the endpoint correctly. It is quite useful."
"We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."
"It has good unified web application scanning and exposure management."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities."
"It is fully automated."
"The solution is stable."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use."
"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."
"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway could improve by allowing features to use more third-party tools."
"The monitoring on the solution could be better."
"The product could be easier to use and implement."
"Scalability can be an issue."
"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."
"We faced some downtime while validating CNAME."
"It is a bit tricky to configure. You've got to have a very specific format to configure it. They should make it a little bit easier to configure. Mapping the certificates into it isn't easy, and it could be better. Currently, you've to write a bit of automation to pull certificates directly to HTTPS."
"Application Gateway’s limitation is that the private and the public endpoint cannot use the same port."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes it lags with different cloud environments."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a need to pay a fixed price per month to use the product. There are no additional payments to be made to Microsoft apart from the charges paid towards the monthly licensing costs attached to the solution."
"The cost is not an issue."
"The price of the solution can be reduced a bit."
"Microsoft Azure Application Gateway has less price than other application gateway solutions."

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"It is not expensive."
"Every solution comes with a license and cost. Microsoft provides the license and the total cost is for the maintenance every year."
"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to the competitors. The license cost is based on the number of users and the annual usage."
"The pricing is okay."
"For Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, it comes to around 6,50,000 Indian rupees, plus taxes."
"It follows the same licensing scheme as Tenable.io and Tenable. sc."
"The application is extremely affordable. There are no additional costs involved with licensing. We switched to Tenable.io Web Application Scanning from other solutions due to pricing."
