CRITICAL

“Untreated Vulnerabilities Not Tracked Across Scans Causes Difficulty in Management”

3.0
Jul 17, 2025
When I run a scan, I find vulnerabilities that are not easy to understand, the details are not documented enough. Also, the fact that I doesn't keep the history of the detected vulnerability is a problem for me. If a vulnerability is not treated, it should appear on the next scan.

Halo Security Likes & Dislikes

Like

Security coverage and automation of discovery adn monitoring process. The interface is user friendly and easy to use and the reporting part is advanced.

Like

The user interface is clear, the programmed scans are executed as planned and the notifications work weel.

Like

Minimal learning required. Easy to deploy and configure.

Dislike

For our small company is pretty expensive, scanning can be somewhat slow at times, and some integrations with ticketing portal should come in place.

Dislike

1. Doesn't maintain untreated vulnerabilities, 2. Cannot send the vulnerability report to the person responsible directly by email, 3. Inability to customize things like the possibility to keep untreated vulnerabilities.

Dislike

The UI is a bit complex to use and requires an attentive eye. While it has no impact on the usability of the product, visually is not as modern as expected, but it's not a major con against it.

    Extensive Findings and Asset Discovery Balanced by UI and Integration Challenges

    4.0
    Jul 22, 2025
    Technically this is the deepest product I have tested (and I have tested more than 10 ASM solutions), it provides quite deep results on findings and detects a lot of stuff which other competitors don't even see. But from a UI/UX standpoint it has a lot of work to do to improve.
