Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."
"This tool is more accurate than the other solutions that we use, and reports fewer false positives."
"I am impressed with the tool's detailed analysis for penetration testing. AppScan can give only visibility, but it can't do the PT part. But the PortSwigger Burp Application can do both, and it gives much more visibility on the PT rating."
"The solution has a pretty simple setup."
"This solution has helped a lot in finding bugs and vulnerabilities, and the scanner is good enough for simple web apps."
"It is a time-saver application."
"The Spider is the most useful feature. It helps to analyze the entire web application, and it finds all the passes and offers an automated identification of security issues."
"With the Extender Tab, if you know how to code then you can create a plugin and add it to Burp."
"It is very convenient to get reports from the tool, which offers high-level environmental statistics."
"The product’s most valuable feature is UI. It is easy to manage and find vulnerabilities in the application."
"We have seen measurable decrease in the mean time to respond to threats by 20 percent."
"The templates feature is very easy. You just choose the kind of attack you want on your web application, and you run it against that template and receive a report. It's great."
"It's very easy to use and user-friendly. It does the job."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the graphical interface."
"It is a very robust solution."
"You have various attack modules, and you also have the Attack Replay feature for the attack sequence. You can reproduce an attack and see it. That is a very good feature I noticed in this solution. It helps developers as well."
"Mitigating the issues and low confluence issues needs some improvement. Implementing demand with the ChatGPT under the web solution is an additional feature I would like to see in the next release."
"If your application uses multi-factor authentication, registration management cannot be automated."
"The use of system memory is an area that can be improved because it uses a lot."
"Currently, the scanning is only available in the full version of Burp, and not in the Community version."
"There were a lot of false positives there, and we used to spend a lot of time, like, for security reasons, reproducing those bugs for the development team to fix it."
"The Initial setup is a bit complex."
"A lot of our interns find it difficult to get used to PortSwigger Burp's environment."
"There could be an improvement in the API security testing. There is another tool called Postman and if we had a built-in portal similar to Postman which captures the API, we would be able to generate the API traffic. Right now we need a Postman tool and the Burp Suite for performing API tests. It would be a huge benefit to be able to do it in a single UI."
"They should add more features. I would like to see them do a little more on static analysis and also interactivity analysis. Currently, it does very basic static analysis. It could do a little more static analysis, which is something that would help. A lot more interactivity analysis should also be there. It should basically look at security during interactivity."
"The reporting is definitely an aspect of the solution that's in need of some work. We found that we'd try to use widgets, but often getting them to work for us wasn't very clear. They need to be more user friendly or offer better instructions."
"We get a lot of false positives during the tests."
"The only concern I have with Rapid7 is that it does not provide enough information about vulnerabilities within AppSec."
"We'd like to see integrations with WAF solutions."
"The product’s pricing could be flexible."
"Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement in detecting phishing pages."
"In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing."
