What do you like best about Pentera?

The ability to similate real world attacks, test the response of my deployed controls to see if they are setup appropriately and as effective as i want them to be. The most striking benefit is the ability to go from point in time, sample based testing to continuous validation and testing ensures better overall security outcomes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pentera?

CART / ASM / BAS tools like Pentera are not a replacement for conventional Penetration Testing, Vulnerability Analysis, etc. but are a good baseline.

Specifically the reporting (dashboard) in Pentera can be improved especially when reporting on an enterprise scale rather than specific applications or environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pentera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ability to continuously test my environment rather than point in time, sampling tests is a huge advantage.

Helping me justify technology adoption and spend. Using the BAS features, i can test my controls to see if they would be effective in real world scenarios Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pentera?

- Allow to save time , doing more scans and focusing on what's important

- Allow us to delegate cybersecurity tasks to people with less skills or experience

- the great team behind (support/product)

- how the product is evolving : new features keeping simplicity and stability

- the transparency about roadmaps

- the ROI we have overall Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pentera?

Actually we are satisfied and do not have something we would dislike - escept maybe some improvment we may wait ( as managing false positive/follow the remediation/actions in the console itself) but that's something the team is aware off and it should come in the roadmap in a near future Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pentera solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have reorganized our way to manage cybersecurity pentesting , scans, around Pentera , as well as our global strategy.

We are using each products of Pentera depending of our need , on a daily basis. It allow us to solve the most important problem we had : time.

With Pentera we are able to delegate to less skills people some tasks , and focus more on remediation and/or on others security tasks we have.

Pentera also allow us to have a common "core" propduct with similar apporach and then to build a security conitnuum between web app security , attack surface , pentesting (bray box , blackbox) , ad security... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pentera?

The fact that everything is automated and can be scheduled to our liking make it very easy to use continuously. The wide range of scenario and how customizable they are allow to cover a lot of use cases easily is also very appreciable. The attack path for every achievement/exploit is always detailed, with references to security standards/remediation steps helping us a lot in understanding what we have to do to fix the vulnerabilities/misconfigurations in our environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pentera?

I can't say there is anything I dislike about Pentera as they really listen to customer feedback the product is evolving at a high pace and in the good direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pentera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pentera helps us do internal pentesting to ensure we don't have any big misconfiguration that could lead to security exposure. We also use the cloud module for a similar purpose, see if there are attacks paths that could lead to privilege escalation, data compromision , etc. We also use Pentera to challenge our other security products EPP/EDR/SOC team... to see if we're able to detect such activities, to train our incident response process and so on.
