AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Pentera uses a single contract-based pricing option billed in units. You do not select from preset tiers or published rates on AWS Marketplace. Instead, you request a private offer by contacting the seller directly. The final price and unit quantity are set through that negotiation, allowing the arrangement to match your scope of security validation needs. Because terms are custom, reach out to the vendor to confirm the commitment length, quantity, and total cost that apply to your environment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does the Pentera platform validate, and what capabilities map to the units I license?
The platform runs adversarial testing across internal networks (Core), external attack surface (Surface), and cloud estates (Cloud), then routes validated findings into Resolve for remediation and re-testing. You contact the seller to scope which testing areas and quantity your environment needs, since unit quantity is set during the private offer.
Can the platform run safely in live production, and does that affect what I pay?
Yes. Testing runs in production under customer-controlled guardrails, including throttling, impact limits, emergency stop controls, optional read-only modes, and full audit logging. Running in production does not change the pricing structure. Price and unit quantity are fixed through your private offer, not by how often or when you run tests.
Which cloud platforms can Pentera Cloud test under my licensed units?
Pentera Cloud tests commonly used cloud platforms, including AWS and other major providers, plus hybrid cloud and on-premises environments. Support can vary by provider, so confirm current coverage with the vendor. Your unit quantity and scope are set in the private offer, so align them with the environments you plan to test.

Pentera really impresses me with its ability to deliver "real attack results" and provide "remediation" guidance. It eliminates guessing and highlights what truly needs patching or reconfiguring, allowing me to focus on the important things. I also value how it tests our security guidelines and hardening processes, indicating whether they're configured correctly or if they need fixes, steering us away from just following generic best practices.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reports for the system team that needs to fix issues could be improved. I want a report that shows issues and remediation in a way that's easy to export and understand for the system team. Additionally, setting up for layer 2 attacks requires a some networking configuration and interfaces, which complicates things a bit, but without that, for just layer3 attacks it’s pretty simple.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pentera helps us focus on what really matters by showing what needs patching or reconfiguring through real attack simulations. It tests our security guidelines and supports our SOC team, offering remediation suggestions so we address critical issues instead of generic best practices.

Evidence-Based Exposure Validation with Safe, Real-World Attack Emulation
Reviewed on Oct 07, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Pentera's ability to safely emulate real-world attack vectors within production environments is its strongest asset. It shifts the paradigm from theoretical vulnerability management - relying heavily on CVSS - to evidence-based exposure validation. The automated kill-chain visualization directly highlights structural choke points in the network, allowing us to prioritize remediation exactly where it breaks the attacker's path, rather than wasting hours chasing false positives.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, I have not experienced any significant drawbacks in the core functionality or day-to-day operations. The only notable limitation I've encountered is the lack of native support for a specific cloud platform within our architecture. Expanding their validation coverage to include a wider array of specialized cloud environments would close this gap and make the platform truly comprehensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We previously struggled with vulnerability overload and alert fatigue, spending too much time patching systems based on theoretical risk models. Pentera addresses this by safely validating which vulnerabilities can actually compromise our specific architecture. Now, rather than managing a huge, unfocused list of theoretical risks, we have an evidence-based remediation plan. The biggest business benefit has been operational efficiency: we’ve shifted our engineering and SOC resources away from chasing false positives and toward fixing critical structural flaws, which has led to a measurable drop in our Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR).

Intuitive UI, Flexible Integrations, and Phenomenal Support
Reviewed on Oct 07, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about Pentera is its intuitive user interface, paired with strong flexibility for deployment and integrations. The support team is phenomenal- they build genuine working relationships, show real dedication to problem-solving, and consistently deliver meaningful product enhancements.
Pentera also excels at pinpointing the root cause of vulnerabilities and presenting a prioritized mitigation plan focused on the most critical hotspots.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the platform. Given their commitment to continuous improvement, our main feedback and feature requests would be to introduce report customization options, and to continue expanding their cloud attack testing capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a large and complex organization like ours, having a system like Pentera to carry out continuous, thorough infrastructure validation is essential. It helps us systematically identify and focus on true security hotspots. Instead of chasing superficial alerts, it provides prioritized remediation mapped directly to the root cause of vulnerabilities.
Additionally, it solves the challenge of continuous validation by enabling reliable, repeatable regression testing after remediations are applied. This ensures that security fixes remain effective over time and significantly strengthens our overall operational resilience.

Fast and Accurate Scanning Solution
Reviewed on Oct 05, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the speed and results of Pentera's scanning feature. It's something that I can't achieve on my own, and it helps me uncover a lot of findings on servers that aren't updated. The initial setup was very easy, and I'd definitely recommend it to others, rating it a solid 10 out of 10.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our SOC team had to spend time solving a problem because every event from Pentera scanning came through without any parameter, which was frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pentera helps me find issues on our servers like outdated systems and SMB signing problems with speed and results I can't achieve on my own.
