BlackArc is linux based operating system. it is design specially for penetration testing. so it has all the essential tools for penetration testing. so if we use BlackArc we don't need to use multiple system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It file size is too big so when we use it on virtual machine, it takes lots of computer resource to run. also it has multiple tool with same functionality. that is one of the main reason for the huge file size. if they avoid those kind of tool which has duplicate functionality, it will increase the performance of the system.
