“Impressive Technical Scope Faces Obstacles from Inadequate Support and Usability Concerns”

3.0

Nov 18, 2025

Technically capable and impressive coverage of vulnerabilities. Scalable to any size. Provides enterprise-level vulnerability management. But marred by a terrible support experience and documentation. If, and that's a very big if, you can get a hand from someone capable of supporting your problems, they will be solved.
