# What are deprecated tools on Pentest-Tools.com?

## We don't let our users down. We just see our tools differently, allowing them to work together for better results.

A tool is deprecated when its functions are integrated into other tools without being completely removed. The tool remains in the system, but no further development or updates will be made.

### ***Why are some tools deprecated on Pentest-Tools.com?***

Short answer: to keep the platform in top shape and **keep it clutter-free**!

Long answer: we deprecate tools on [Pentest-Tools.com](https://pentest-tools.com/home) after a detailed analysis from our dev team. If there’s a better way to use the tools' functionality, we’ll always strive for integration and reliability.

Most often, the decision to integrate a tool and its capabilities into a more complex one is to provide you with the option to get more complex and more detailed findings in a single scan.

### ***Can I continue scanning with the deprecated tools? ***

These tools aren’t going anywhere, but you can no longer use them on their own. However, you can now check your systems for vulnerabilities with our **[Network Vulnerability Scan with OpenVAS](https://pentest-tools.com/network-vulnerability-scanning/network-security-scanner-online-openvas)** and **[SSL/TLS Vulnerability Scanner](https://pentest-tools.com/network-vulnerability-scanning/ssl-tls-scanner)**.
