What do you like best about Astra Pentest?

This is my second experience with Astra, and it has been as impressive as the first. I initially discovered Astra while working at a previous company, and the experience was so positive that I didn’t hesitate to use it again at Solvento.

I would particularly like to highlight the exceptional customer support provided during the entire journey of resolving security issues. The team at Astra is remarkably prompt in responding to emails, always ready to jump into a video conference session, and they even personalize responses with videos to explain specific tool features! The dedication of everyone at Astra is evident—they are committed to helping your application meet stringent security standards and ensuring you are fully certified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astra Pentest?

The web application is currently experiencing significant performance issues, characterized by extreme slowness and instability. Occasionally, it fails to accurately reflect the current status of audits, necessitating reliance on email updates to obtain this information. There is undoubtedly an opportunity for improvement in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astra Pentest solving and how is that benefiting you?

The mail problem is to be able to provide to our customers a certificate proving the security level of our service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GetAstra engineers were quick to understand the organizational context and our poly-cloud Infrastructure and Microservices architecture. They are clear in specifying the requirements for the penetration testing and quick to provide feedback and get on to the job quicker.

GetAstra's Customer Success Manager played a great role in coordinating with our Engineers and updating us on daily basis on the progress and blockers.

We were together able to make the Penetration testing a great success within the stipulated time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astra Pentest solving and how is that benefiting you?

Astra helped us know our security posture and identified the vulnerabilities within our Infrastructure and our Micro-services and Web application.

What do you like best about Astra Pentest?

I've used Astra now for 2 years to conduct our pen testing across our web and cloud infrastructure. The platform itself is easy to use and to digest the information with the ability to easily identify issues and then mark them as completed etc. It offers a wealth of information when issues are raised as to what the impact of that issue is, initially through a risk score and then through a detailed explanation. This makes it really easy to follow. The customer support team is also second to none and keep in close contact during the whole process of using their platform.

UX could be improved but this could be partly down to not using the product very frequently as for us this is a yearly exercise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Astra Pentest?

Astra is a easy to use, well thought out, and feature rich security scanning tool for SaaS providers. Their manual pen testers are skilled, capable, and responsive. When asked for suggestions, their advice is relevant, easy to parse, and generally accurate. I especially like the one on one attention given by Astra’s project management staff. Being a small FinTech startup, that level of attention and dedication is a difference maker for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astra Pentest?

Their interface can sometimes be “clunky” and non-intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astra Pentest solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being a FinTech SaaS provider, we take data privacy and security very seriously. Picking the right tools for the job is of paramount importance as we do not have unlimited funding or resources. Astra is a force multiplier in that with Astra's VAPt offerings, one person can do the work of many. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Astra Pentest?

We found Astra’s penetration testing process to be exceptionally user-friendly and efficient. What really stood out was their integrated platform — instead of the usual back-and-forth with online forms, Astra provides a streamlined setup that makes launching a pen test quick and straightforward.

The two-phase approach was also a highlight. The initial automated scan identified common vulnerabilities early, giving us the chance to address them right away. This was then followed by a manual review, where qualified testers provided in-depth, detailed reports for each vulnerability. They were also quick to respond to our follow-up questions directly through the platform, which made communication smooth and effective.

Whenever we needed help, our Customer Success Manager was supportive and responsive — even going as far as enabling an additional re-scan to help us reach A+ status.

Overall, I’d highly recommend Astra to anyone looking for a fast, intelligent, and supportive pen testing experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astra Pentest?

There wasn't anything that I was not happy with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astra Pentest solving and how is that benefiting you?

Astra is doing a great job of simplifying penetration testing. Their platform makes it much easier for engineering teams to understand, prioritise, and resolve vulnerabilities without the usual friction. Beyond one-off tests, Astra also supports a more continuous approach to security by enabling year-round scanning — helping teams shift towards ongoing protection rather than periodic check-ins.

What do you like best about Astra Pentest?

Overall, I'm quite satisfied with Astra's manual penetration testing services. The team delivered quality results that met our security assessment needs.

The pentesting team is genuinely skilled and knowledgeable. They successfully identified exploits that had been flagged in previous assessments, which gave me confidence in their thoroughness and expertise. What really impressed me was their quick turnaround time - they were consistently responsive to my requests and questions throughout the engagement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astra Pentest?

The UI could use some work to make it more intuitive. There are certain required parameters that aren't always clear upfront, which can slow things down initially. However, this is easily manageable when you work closely with the team during the pentest process.

I did experience some communication challenges early on, likely due to language barriers. I found myself having to repeat instructions multiple times, even when providing video walkthroughs. Once we got past this initial hurdle though, communication improved significantly.

The AI features in the UI feel underdeveloped and aren't particularly helpful in their current state. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Astra Pentest?

Astra Pentest provides a very thorough and structured approach to penetration testing. What I like best is how clearly they communicate their findings through their dashboard, with real-time updates and detailed reports that are easy to understand. Their team is responsive, professional, and always available to explain vulnerabilities and remediation steps. The combination of automated scans and manual testing ensures comprehensive coverage, which gives us real confidence in our security posture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astra Pentest?

There isn’t much to dislike, but if I had to point out something, it would be that the report formatting could be a bit more customizable to match our internal documentation style. Also, some of the automated findings can be low priority, so filtering or prioritization could be improved slightly. That said, their team is always quick to clarify and help focus on what matters most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astra Pentest solving and how is that benefiting you?

Astra Pentest is helping us identify and address security vulnerabilities across our applications, internal network, and cloud infrastructure. This solves the problem of limited internal resources for continuous security testing and ensures we get a comprehensive and unbiased view of our risk exposure.

The benefit is clear—we're able to proactively fix issues before they can be exploited, meet compliance requirements, and demonstrate to stakeholders and clients that we take security seriously. Their detailed remediation guidance also helps our dev and infra teams act quickly and effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Astra Pentest?

Astra Security provided an exceptional experience for our organization's first penetration testing engagement. Their customer support team demonstrated outstanding responsiveness and professionalism, expediting our project timeline through prioritized service delivery.

The platform's intuitive interface streamlined the manual penetration test setup process, making it accessible even for teams new to formal security assessments. The vulnerability reports were particularly impressive, featuring comprehensive technical details that enabled efficient reproduction of identified issues. Additionally, the inclusion of actionable remediation guidance significantly accelerated our resolution timeline.

The service delivers excellent value proposition, combining thorough security assessment capabilities with user-friendly execution. Based on our positive experience, I would confidently recommend Astra Security to other organizations seeking reliable penetration testing services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Astra Pentest?

I struggle to identify significant downsides given our positive experience. If pressed, having additional integration options with common DevOps tools could further streamline the remediation workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Astra Pentest solving and how is that benefiting you?

The platform addresses our business-critical need for credible security validation. Working with numerous SMEs who mandate security assurance from their vendors, Astra Pentest provides the professional penetration testing documentation required for both SOC 2 audit compliance and client onboarding processes. This capability directly translates to competitive advantage in deal negotiations and streamlined compliance workflows, ultimately supporting revenue growth and operational efficiency.

Astra’s team has been incredibly responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They were flexible with our timelines, clearly explained the vulnerabilities they found, and supported us as we worked through fixes.

What problems is Astra Pentest solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a reliable way to assess the security of our AWS setup and demonstrate compliance to external partners.
