We used the solution for password strength assessments, ransomware testing, and automated penetration testing The tool helped us discover that we were using an outdated network protocol, NTLM. The password strength assessments feature was valuable. The testing features are fantastic. The tool…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 of Pentera is that you can do continuous vulnerability assessment, which is automated."
"The tool showed us that our ransomware protection wasn’t working on some machines."
"Maybe there are some remediation steps on the website, we can mask sensitive information on the website better."
"The product is easy to use."
"The platform's most valuable features are credential management and vulnerability management."
"What I like the most about Pentera is its solution-oriented approach."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The product gives us a lot of insight."
"For me, the setup has been an easy process."
 

Cons

"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."
"Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering."
"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 vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"One area for product improvement could be the inclusion of a dashboard to cover multiple branches and subsidiaries, allowing for centralized monitoring."
"The automated penetration testing features must be improved."
"There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility."
"The price could be improved."
"Tenable needs to provide a better way to manage private clouds."
"The product has limited reporting capabilities and it isn't great at allowing for customization in reports."
"It would be nice if the product provided an agent for enforcing policies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to pay a yearly licensing cost for Pentera."
"It's not that expensive, but it could be more cost-effective."
"The product's cost is reasonable. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The tool is relatively cheap."
"The pricing is fair."
