The tool configuration is a bit of experts game, once you are familiar with each configuration for different devices it'll be adaptable but sometimes we get huge road blocks to complete a credentialed checks especially in configuring servers of windows based system, also the reports produce some false positive Vulnerabilities that is one troublesome thing.
