The product and customer service is extremely efficient but I would like to see more research and code examples.
* The continuous online scanning capabilities and reporting features. * The SaaS product features accessible from a browser make managing our online systems easy. * The ability to review security items quickly along with being able to retest vulnerabilities on our schedule make the Sentinel product an invaluable tool for our company’s product security requirements.

Shift-left security has transformed our DAST workflows and now improves early vulnerability detection
I believe a learning path should be added to help users maximize the potential of StackHawk. While the tool is powerful and intuitive, a structured learning path will provide step-by-step guidance on configuring scans, interpreting results, and implementing security best practices. StackHawk needs more reporting capabilities and more dashboard views to showcase the progress of vulnerabilities remediation. Additionally, some customization of scan policies will be neat, as the current way to apply policies for scans is very manual. StackHawk is a strong solution, but improved reporting, easier integration, and more AI-driven recommendations would make it even more effective. Overall, I am highly satisfied with its capabilities and continued improvement.

"StackHawk has positively impacted my organization by giving us a new vision of how vulnerabilities were seen, as we now have more visibility in that matter."
 

Cons

"StackHawk needs more reporting capabilities and more dashboard views to showcase the progress of vulnerabilities remediation."
"StackHawk can be improved in the way that it is integrated, as at the very beginning, the idea was to, within the pipeline, mount the different resources that our microservices needed to start to run."
"On a scale of one to ten, I would rate StackHawk an eight, only because I wish the product was a little less expensive."
