Featured Reviews

Richard Marlow - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides good features and helps monitor the status of ransomware protection in an organization
The tool is quite scalable. There's a one-to-one relationship between the engine and how many scans we can do. We can only do one scan with one engine. We had some issues around the password assessments because we added a lot of users. It took a long time. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten. We have three users in our organization.
Dmytro Petrashchuk - PeerSpot reviewer
Breach and attach simulation solution used to test security tools with a valuable library of hacking data
The most valuable feature is the huge library of hack attacks and breach methods. It can run different attacks in a safe manner without damaging anything inside the infrastructure. The great thing is that the database is constantly updating. It has signature attack playbooks to check if a company is protected against a potential attack.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like the most about Pentera is its solution-oriented approach."
"Pentera has many authentic features."
"The product is easy to use."
"The platform's most valuable features are credential management and vulnerability management."
"Pentera has many authentic features."
"Maybe there are some remediation steps on the website, we can mask sensitive information on the website better."
"The solution is SaaS-based. From a cloud perspective, it has Pentera Surface and Pentera Core. The Core is the on-prem deployed solution, while the Surface is the cloud-hosted solution that scans your public infrastructure. From the Surface perspective, the most valuable feature so far has been the attack surface mapping."
"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"The most valuable feature is the huge library of hack attacks and breach methods."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting database and attack protection."
 

Cons

"One of the big issues we have is that the tool has an additional license for compromised credentials. Suppose compromised credentials for any of your domains appear in leaks, dumps, or are being sold. In that case, they try to aggregate that data and highlight that, for example, ten users appeared in recent dumps as compromised credentials. However, they don't provide much information about where those compromises came from or their source information, probably to protect their sources."
"The price could be improved."
"The automated penetration testing features must be improved."
"The licensing and IP management need improvement. When the IP is imported into a system, we cannot withdraw or revoke the license."
"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering."
"Maybe scalability. I know that the Pentera right now is high level in order to scan big deals over 500 IPs and not less, and not less. That can be more granular. This will be useful."
"The licensing and IP management need improvement."
"I would like to see some integration on the customization and customer support."
"There is room for improvement in the interface. It is not always easy to find the options that you need and not everything is customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's cost is reasonable. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The tool is relatively cheap."
"It's not that expensive, but it could be more cost-effective."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing cost for Pentera."
"The price starts from about $140,000 so this solution is expensive in my opinion. Maintenance and support is included in the license cost."
"The pricing is more expensive than other options on the market today."
