We performed a comparison between GitLab and PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution's service delivery model is fantastic."
"The best thing is that as the developers work on separate tasks, all of the code goes there and the other team members don't have to wait on each other to finish."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is its convenience. I am able to trace back most of my changes up to a far distance in time and it helps me to analyze and see the older version of the code."
"The code merging capability is something that we use very frequently."
"GitLab is very useful for pipelines, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. It is also stable."
"This product is always evolving, and they listen to the customers."
"We use the Git repository and tagging feature. We are a product-based company and use this solution to move to a forward or backward tag."
"GitLab offers a good interface for doing code reviews between two colleagues."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the advanced features, user-friendly interface, and integration with other tools."
"The most valuable features are Burp Intruder and Burp Scanner."
"We use the solution for vulnerability assessment in respect of the application and the sites."
"The solution has a limited range of functions, which is good for small companies. This is because, in small companies, websites are less complex. They also have single services which makes the solution good enough for them. However, the most advantageous aspect of the solution is its affordable price."
"The active scanner, which does an automated search of any web vulnerabilities."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is that it comes with pre-set configurations. They have a set of predefined options where you can pick one and start scanning. We also have the option of creating our own configurations, like how often do the applications need to be scanned."
"The most valuable feature is the application security. It also has a reasonable price."
"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."
"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."
"I would like to have some features to support peer review."
"The only thing our company is really waiting on in terms of features is the development of metrics."
"There was a problem with the build environment when we were looking at developing iOS applications. iOS build require Mac machines and there are no Mac machines provided by GitLab in their cloud. So to build for mobile iOS application, we needed to use our own Mac machine within our own infrastructure. If GitLab were to provide a feature such that an iOS application could also be built through GitLab directly, that would be great."
"I would like to see better integration with project management tools such as Jira."
"We are having a few problems integrating with Jira at the moment, which is something that our IT department is investigating."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. We do most of our operations through the website interface but it could be better."
"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."
"The tool is very expensive."
"It should provide a better way to integrate with Jenkins so that DAST (dynamic application security testing) can be automated."
"The biggest improvement that I would like to see from PortSwigger that today many people see as an issue in their testing. There might be a feature which might be desired."
"The number of false positives need to be reduced on the solution."
"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."
"Sometimes the solution can run a little slow."
"The Auto Scanning features should be updated more frequently and should include the latest attack vectors."
