PlexTrac alternative for vulnerability scan reports

PlexTrac is one of the best known names in security reporting, so teams that only need to report on vulnerability scans often start by looking at it. Whether it fits depends on where your findings come from. This page compares the two honestly, including where PlexTrac is the better choice. What we say about PlexTrac comes from its public website, checked on 10 November 2026.

What PlexTrac is

PlexTrac describes itself as a penetration test reporting and management platform that has grown into exposure management, and its site says it has been acquired by Brinqa. Testers capture findings, screenshots and attack paths as they work, reuse written content from a library, and produce the final report from templates. It also brings in scanner, pentest and bug bounty findings by file import or API, prioritizes them, and sends remediation to Jira and ServiceNow. Service providers can give clients a white-labeled results portal. It is sold in Essential, Core and Premium packages by demo and quote, with its AI features as an add-on.

What Varaxon Scan Hub is

Varaxon Scan Hub starts from a vulnerability scanner export, not from a tester's notes. You upload results from Tenable Nessus, Qualys, Rapid7, Greenbone and OpenVAS, Nuclei or Burp Suite, or connect Microsoft Defender or ConnectSecure, and it ranks every finding into six fixed priority bands using CISA KEV and EPSS, groups findings into fixes and writes the report under your brand. Every line is tied to the scanner evidence, and anything the scan could not see is stated as unknown, not as clean.

After the report, each fix becomes a reviewed ticket in HaloPSA or ConnectWise PSA, is proven fixed by the next scan, or is signed off by the client as an accepted risk. See the sample reports or the prices.

Side by side

Which one fits

• Choose PlexTrac if your main deliverable is a penetration test report, you have a team of testers writing findings by hand, or you need Jira and ServiceNow workflows across a large programme.
• Choose Scan Hub if your deliverable is a monthly or quarterly vulnerability report built from scanner results, you want to be running the same day without a sales call, and your tickets live in a PSA.
• Some firms use both kinds of tool: a pentest reporting platform for engagements, and a scan reporting tool for the recurring vulnerability service. The scan versus penetration test guide explains why they are different deliverables.
