"With the fix suggestions feature, not only do you get the specific trace back to where the vulnerability is within your code, but you also get fix suggestions."

"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities."

"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"Mend lets you create custom policies. They're not too complicated to set up, but it would be helpful if they had some preconfigured policies to match what we have in Azure DevOps. That would save us a lot of time. It's tedious to configure the policies manually, and I lack the capacity to do it right now. Other products have preconfigured packs and templates, and Mend doesn't."

"WhiteSource needs improvement in the scanning of the containers and images with distinguishing the layers."
"It should support multiple SBOM formats to be able to integrate with old industry standards."
"Some detected libraries do not specify a location of where in the source they were matched from, which is something that should be enhanced to enable quicker troubleshooting."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive."
"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly."
"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly."
