Where each tool wins
A comparison page where the competitor never wins reads as an advert. Here is the case for SSL Labs, and the case against us, alongside the case for FlawPilot.
What SSL Labs does better
On TLS specifically they go deeper than we do and are the industry reference grade. If you are tuning cipher suites, use SSL Labs.
Where FlawPilot differs
FlawPilot checks TLS as one pillar among five, and reports it next to the header, DNS and code findings for the same site rather than in isolation.
Pick SSL Labs when
You are debugging a TLS handshake or chasing an A+ TLS grade.
