The team does a good job. **What problems is Astra Pentest solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're in healthcare, so we take security very seriously.

Fast and Professional Pen Testing by a responsive and experienced team. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2024 **What do you like best about Astra Pentest?** Using the automated scanners that ASTRA provides really allowed us to zero in on what to expect when we had the Manual Pen Testing done. This allowed us to fix potential issues earlier and shift left so we were better prepared for our pen testing. Being able to scan weekly using their tools gives us the confidence that our applications are properly secured for the long term. Using integrations such as Slack, we are able to be notified immediately when new vulnerabilities are a concern. Additionally, when large events happen that effect the cyber security space on a global scale, Astra has been pivotal in stepping in to provide us with facts and updates on everything they are doing to ensure that our security is their foremost concern. For example, when the Crowdstrike issue happened earlier this year, they immediately began scanning various workloads to see how we might be affected and then relayed all of the appropriate information to us as they were made aware of it. The representative that I worked with was highly professional and very responsive, answering all of my questions and making sure we were taken care of. **What do you dislike about Astra Pentest?** While I do overall recommend the product, the most recent UI/UX update to the Astra Web Application was a step backward in my opinion. I do think the problems they were trying to solve are valid with the new designs, but I think some more work could have been done to ensure a smoother transition and probably more testing should have been done. Some of the filters didn't properly work and being able to more easily see the stuff that was relevant to me got a little harder because it was showing data from years ago instead of the most recent. I've no doubt this team will fix these issues and it will get better. **What problems is Astra Pentest solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to securely scan our web applications so that we can be sure we are running secure software. From checking that we are passing proper headers to making sure that we are using the most secure TLS Ciphers for SSL, we can be sure and confident in the security of our software by using this tool. ### 41.

Beyond their testing capabilities, Astra provides outstanding ongoing support as we work through remediations.

We needed seasoned security experts to thoroughly scrutinize our systems for any cracks our small but mighty product team may have missed. Astra Pentest provided the perfect solution via their start-to-finish risk evaluation and roadmap tailored for modern tech stacks. Right away, their team went under the hood to systematically uncover critical vulnerabilities and exposures specific to our tech stack and architecture that we would have completely missed building out organic product dev.
