What it’s for
Checks a server’s SSL/TLS setup: supported protocols, ciphers and certificate issues.
Where it shines
- Fast, clear TLS hygiene check
- Handy for the config side of a report
Where it falls down
- Narrow scope — just TLS
- You still interpret the results against current best practice
My take
[EDIT ME: your one-line verdict — day-one essential, learn later, or overhyped, in your own words.]
