Automated testing has reduced manual effort and improves remediation of critical vulnerabilities
The biggest friction point with Pentera is the need for more granular control or the ability to exclude specific sensitive systems, as well as the necessity for the cloud environment to mature. While Pentera excels in on-premises and hybrid setups, its AWS and Azure attack path simulation is not as deep compared to others.If I could change one thing in Pentera to improve my workflow the most, it would be the platform UI because some security team members are not penetration testing specialists, making it difficult for them to navigate. I would make it easier with more guided workflows.

Stable with good updates but needs a better integration engine
The integration engine needs to improve. We try to integrate it with other tools, especially with Splunk or with the MyDLP engine, and even with Microsoft Exchange. As much as they tried to make it seem like it was easy, it wasn't easy. There was a lot of stuff that we had to do that we ended up having to do via an API or something special for a new case. That's a big issue for me. Integration is daunting. It leaves a lot of room for failure and frustration. There are just little nuances that make everything difficult. You're supposed to be able to flip this toggle thing here, and you're supposed to be able to get the feedthrough from Splunk. Then, from there everything should be perfectly fine. However, when you find out it is not perfectly fine and you find out that it's because this thing isn't necessarily correct, you have to do an update on it or they have to update their file to make it work correctly. It's very small, minute things that aren't quite right. It's not something that you can really pinpoint. There's a lot of nuanced issues. It the nuanced technical issues that you would notice once you cross its path. It's not one of those "Hey, this is something I would know off the top of my head." They are very small nuance issues that make you say "Oh, well I guess we've got to go and change this thing now." You get this with certain tools - mostly with Mandiant tools more than anything else in general. It's one of those Mandiant quirks that still carries on and persists to this day - even with this tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Pentera has many authentic features."
"What I like the most about Pentera is its solution-oriented approach."
"The tool showed us that our ransomware protection wasn’t working on some machines."
"The platform's most valuable features are credential management and vulnerability management."
"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."
"We moved from a reactive security posture to a proactive one."
"The best features of Pentera are the dashboard and security, with the dashboard being excellent as I can see everything, and it is really simple and easy to work with, which has made my team faster, more efficient, and improved teamwork significantly."
"Pentera has impacted my team and my workflow by making things faster and more efficient."
"We thought it was a unique tool when we first came across it, we thought it was a value-add - and to this day it still is a value-add in our company."
"The solution is constantly updating. Their data and security validation are cutting-edge."
 

Cons

"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."
"One area for product improvement could be the inclusion of a dashboard to cover multiple branches and subsidiaries, allowing for centralized monitoring."
"The enterprise pricing is a big investment."
"The automated penetration testing features must be improved."
"The biggest frustration I have had with Pentera is the navigation, which seems slower."
"The licensing and IP management need improvement. When the IP is imported into a system, we cannot withdraw or revoke the license."
"There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility."
"The integration engine needs to improve."
 

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."
