Sound familiar?

  • Copying findings into Word?

    Tables, screenshots, formatting… again.

  • Fighting evidence and layout?

    One image shift breaks everything.

  • Inconsistencies creeping in?

    Copy-paste errors, rewrites, mixed styles.

The Real Cost of Manual Reporting

Manual processes don’t just feel slow - they cap your capacity and create risk.

Wasted Time

Typical formatting time:

6-8 hours / report

At $150/hr, that’s $900-$1,200 per engagement spent on formatting.

Inconsistent Quality

The stuff that slips through:

Copy-paste errors

Small (or big!) mistakes can undermine credibility, trigger rework, and damage client trust.

Misallocated Expertise

Where your team's time goes:

30% on report creation

Every engagement needs hours of manual work. You can't grow output without growing headcount.

“Creating reports with Dradis Pro saves us up to 4 hours per project compared to using Word manually.”

What Manual Reporting Really Means

Testing moves fast. Reporting… not so much.

Manual process

  • Day 1–4: Testing (scans, manual testing, evidence capture)
  • Day 5: Consolidate notes, compile findings, identify gaps
  • Day 6: Format report, paste screenshots, fix tables - but can't finish
  • Day 7–8: Continue formatting, QA finds issues, final delivery

With Dradis

  • Testers add findings in real time
  • Collaboration happens in one place (no email chains)
  • Reusable Issue Library avoids rewriting the same vulnerabilities
  • Built-in QA workflows reduce copy-paste mistakes
  • Generate the report in 1 click → QA → deliver

Same report. Different workflow.

Typical savings: 2-4 hours
Manual · 6-8 hours
Formatting, screenshots, tables, rework
With Dradis · <2 hours
Including QA

Now let’s quantify what getting 2-4 hours back per engagement means for your business.

Run the ROI

Dradis vs Manual: Side by Side

Same goal. Completely different experience.

Dradis

Guaranteed consistency, centralized workflows, and streamlined collaboration

  • 2-4 hours less per report with automated output
  • Reusable issue libraries eliminate copy-paste errors
  • Protect sensitive data with self-hosted deployment
  • Built-in methodologies (OWASP/PTES etc.) ensure compliance-ready documentation
  • Real-time collaboration lets field teams and report writers work in parallel
  • Dynamic results portal for live updates

VS

Manually

Copy & paste errors, partially followed processes, and endless email chains

  • 6-8 hours formatting each report
  • Copy-paste errors damage credibility and require rework
  • Client data mixing risk with shared documents and cloud tools
  • Methodology references are scattered across wikis nobody uses
  • Report bottlenecks when field consultants wait for writers
  • Static PDFs limit client engagement post-delivery

How Much Will You Save?

ROI calculator: Tell us about your business.

We've got people in the team, each of us is involved in about projects per month on average, and our average rate is around $ USD.

If we could save hours per report. How much money will using Dradis Pro save us?


If you saved 2 hours per report, or $200 at your current rate, times 3 projects a month: you'll save $600 per person each month, that's $3,000 for the 5 of you every month.

Just to be clear, the investment required for Dradis Pro is $79 per person (or $474 for the team). If the tool saves you $600, the first $474 go towards paying for itself and the remaining $521 are pure savings, every month. That's $6,252 per year that you're leaving on the table.


There are lots of things you can do with $6,252:

  • Invest more time testing to get more results and add more value to your clients.
  • Use that time to wrap up the project and update your testing methodologies.
  • Use that time to find new clients.
  • Pass the savings to your clients and become more competitive.
  • Don't tell anyone and just pocket the savings.

Quality and Security Risks You Can't Afford

It’s not just time. Manual processes increase error rates and expand your data exposure.

Quality & Credibility Risk

The mistakes clients notice (and the ones they don’t).

  • Copy-pasting client names from previous reports
  • Inconsistent severity ratings across team members
  • Screenshot filenames leaking other client info
  • Missing findings because someone forgot to document
How Dradis solves this
  • Reusable Issue Library (no scavenging old reports)
  • Real-time collaboration + clear ownership
  • Built-in QA workflows to catch errors
  • Consistent methodology & severity mappings
  • Full audit trail + controlled access

Data Security Risk

Sensitive findings spread across tools and people.

  • Reports living in laptops, Dropbox or Drive
  • Screenshots in different formats and resolutions, scattered across the team
  • Email chains with sensitive findings
  • No audit trail of who accessed what
How Dradis solves this
  • Self-hosted platform (your infrastructure)
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
  • Audit logging
  • Single source of truth for evidence and findings

How Teams Transition From Manual to Dradis

A practical path that doesn’t disrupt delivery.

1. Template Conversion

We help convert your current templates into Dradis.

2. Issue Library Setup

Import your vulnerability content - reuse forever.

3. Parallel Run

Use both processes for 1–2 engagements.

4. Full Switchover

Team trained - you’re delivering faster within weeks.

What Teams Say After Switching

More time back. More consistency. Less rework.

Dradis ensures that our quality standards are met every time.
