Interactive user interface has strong workflow logic, easy SLA setup and is a very collaborative tool. The AI capability saves a lot of time while creating new tickets and also provides solutions to existing problems which have been addressed before.

“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.

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.

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