Astra Pentest Pros and Cons

The Astra dashboard provided a fantastic experience for tracking the progress of testing, viewing the breakdown of vulnerabilities, and digging into the details of each vulnerability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Communication was sometimes difficult, and the difference in time between the US and India made things take longer than they probably should have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Friendly staff, Good scope of vulnerability tests, Good reports, Very good support and management (special thank you)! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

These are the points for improvement:

1. Email reporting (notification) when an auto test is completed.

2. Reduce the number of false positive tests by adding more options to disable tests for technologies that we don't use.

3. Add options to run auto tests with the ability to enable or disable all current configuredexclusions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most helpful feature that can be seen in Astra Pentest are

1. Automated Vulnerability Scanner with 3000+ tests

2. PDF and Email Reporting

3. Progressive Web App (PWA) to access the dashboard on-the-go.

And some of the upsides of Astra are:

1. Open web application security and SANS standard test that it runs during pentest.

2. One click to email and download report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall the application covers all the test that needs to be covered during pentest but one thing I would like to improve is its UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a security specialist, I've used a handful of pen-testing software, but I stayed with Astra a few years back.

Why are they better? They offer way more than the average suite. Cost vs value here: Astra wins by a massive amount.

What sold me was their manual pen testing (done by real humans) alongside daily and weekly emerging vulnerability checks.

The most impressive part is the certificate they give you. It shows that you actually pentest and don't just say that you do. Customers can be a tad more trusting in your security because it's not just lip service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard can be a little slow sometimes, but this hasn't slowed me down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None, overall the team helped us through any challenges and the platform did it's job well too :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was most impressed with Astra's consistent communication throughout the pentest. Their updates kept me informed at every stage, and the speed at which they completed the testing was impressive. The detailed reporting was clear and provided valuable insights, making the overall experience smooth and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I experienced was that, while the reporting was very thorough, there were occasional delays in getting responses, sometimes taking a few days. However, this didn't overshadow the overall quality of the service and communication throughout the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A key standout during our Astra Pentest was the solid support via Slack, making communication easy and efficient. The platform itself is user-friendly, and the Jira integration greatly streamlined issue resolution for our team, seamlessly fitting into our existing workflow.

Not much to dislike, though the audit process takes some time to complete, the thoroughness makes it worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thoroughness of Astra's Pen testing and the clarity of your reporting have significantly enhanced our security posture. We particularly appreciated the proactive communication and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure we understood the findings and their implications. The scheduled automated scans every day provides us full clarity to identify any issues which were introduced in our rapid development lifecycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found any to report at the moment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that the whole process of the pentest scan from start to end is very streamlined makes the whole experience better. We have constant and dedicated support during the time of the scan. I like the fact that the team is also very helpful if we need any help in fixing or updating any of the services related to the backend or infra to make it compliant and secure. It is very easy to start the process and the integration is very seamless and easy. I have been using Astra's services for the last 3 years now and I am going to continue using their services as it is very easy and the dedicated support takes away the hassle if you are stuck anywhere in the process. Recommended to everyone who is setting up the infra for the first or someone who has already achieved scale, the solution is suitable for all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my experience of using their services, there is nothing I can point out that I disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
