Pentera Reviews

I have used Pentera as an automation tool both for customers and within my organization.

What I like the most about Pentera is its solution-oriented approach.

There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility. Testing with virtual servers didn't yield the same results as on-premises services, and the vendor's support was limited in addressing this issue.

I have been using Pentera for six months.

Pentera's stability is decent, although there are occasional issues. I would rate the stability as a seven out of ten.

The technical support is very good. I would rate them as an eight out of ten.

Deployment of Pentera is straightforward, requiring basic networking knowledge, making it accessible for anyone to deploy.

Pentera is expensive.

We use Pentera for routine security assessments by demonstrating vulnerabilities to customers. For example, we show them how fixing one vulnerability, like SMB, can address related vulnerabilities. Customers appreciate the visual map view of their security landscape provided by Pentera.

Pentera helped uncover a critical vulnerability for a company during the pandemic. They had in-house servers with an SMB v2 vulnerability and were using legacy software or operating systems. We demonstrated the risk by conducting ransomware testing on these unsupported servers, highlighting the urgent need for mitigation.

Automated penetration testing with Pentera has boosted our team's efficiency. Manual testing required extensive reporting and specific exploitation of vulnerabilities, which was time-consuming. Pentera streamlines the process, reducing the time and costs associated with generating reports and pinpointing vulnerabilities quickly.

Pentera's vulnerability detection capabilities have about 90% accuracy, based on personal experience. While it accurately identifies most vulnerabilities, there are instances where reported vulnerabilities are not exploitable upon further testing.

New users should consider demonstrating Pentera's capabilities to their company. Automation helps uncover hidden vulnerabilities, improving security and highlighting areas for enhancement.

Overall, I would rate Pentera as an eight out of ten.

We are searching for VMware scanning or ransomware scanning. 

The automation and the scalability. There is some work with demolition ransomware, and the Mitra attack specification is very useful for us.

Maybe there are some remediation steps on the website, we can mask sensitive information on the website better.

Maybe scalability. I know that the Pentera right now is high level in order to scan big deals over 500 IPs and not less, and not less. That can be more granular. This will be useful.

I have been using Pentera for one or two years as a reseller. I am a specialist, and I integrate this product.

Pentera is very stable.

I'm in touch with the engineers because of the previous onboarding proposal but have not used the Technical Support yet.

Positive

All the integration is very easy, and useful. I don't have any complaints about the integration or the use of the tool. It takes maybe one day or a few hours to deploy it. It depends on the pan testing. It is a team that is involved in the process. For each product, usually two or three people. 

It's not that expensive, but it could be more cost-effective.

Well, it's important not to expect that it's about the penetration test because, in some cases, the customer has an overseas expectation or wrong expectation about that. It's important to know exactly what you want and if the tool is suitable for that.

Overall, I would rate Pentera an eight out of ten

. 

We use the product for an automatic PEN test on the focus area (200 - 300 IP) per one PEN test.

We have focused PEN tests on network segments and try to solve all vulnerabilities after. We watch the PEN test progress with the NDR solution.

The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great.

They need to offer support for a new graphic card.

I've used the solution for two months.
