Biggest strengths
Pentest Tools offers a wide range of ready-to-use scanners for web apps, networks, and CMS, making it easy to quickly identify common vulnerabilities without deep setup. It’s simple, cloud-based, and saves time for teams needing fast assessments.
Biggest weaknesses
It’s not as deep or customizable as dedicated enterprise DAST/SAST solutions, so complex or large-scale environments may find coverage limited. Reports can also lack the depth needed for strict compliance audits.
