Pentesterra vs Reconmap

Pentesterra is a security orchestration platform combining vulnerability management, automated network and web pentesting, breach and attack simulation, and AI-assisted exploit verification. Its workflow links attack-surface mapping, simulation, and controlled exploitation, prioritizing findings with evidence. Web testing covers modern web apps, single-page applications, and APIs through public or private proxies and Tor, including authentication flows, CSRF, JWT, and WAF evasion. Safe exploit validation uses real-world tools in non-malicious modes and is described as involving no malware or ransomware. Attack Chain Analysis turns web, network, and DevGuard findings into directed kill-chain graphs, with up to 20 paths at depth five or less. Deployment is available as SaaS, dedicated PaaS, or fully air-gapped on-premises. Integrations include Jira ticket creation from verified findings and a REST API for scans, results, and reporting. Enterprise options add SIEM export, ticketing integrations, SSO, and compliance evidence packages. Plans range from a free DevGuard Free tier to Vibe Coding at €23/month; higher tiers list specific scan and project limits, while Enterprise pricing is custom.

Reconmap is a free, open-source collaboration platform for planning, conducting, and documenting penetration test projects across assets and clients. It supports multiple top-level organisations and includes project templates, task management, and client management. Vulnerability tracking and a templates database help organize findings, while users can automate security commands and schedule them with cron expressions. Reports can be generated in Word, Markdown, and Typst formats, with custom whitelabel reporting. Integrations can send vulnerabilities to Jira or Azure DevOps and deliver event-driven HTTP notifications through webhooks. Security features include SSO, OpenID and SAML user federation, two-factor authentication, email verification, and an audit log. A REST API with token authentication supports connections to external tools and scripts. Deployment options include Docker Compose, Kubernetes, manual installation, and hosted SaaS maintained by the project’s lead developers through Netfoe. The documentation positions Docker Compose for small teams and Kubernetes for production deployments and large teams; it also cautions that Compose is not designed for high availability or horizontal scaling out of the box.
