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."GitLab is being used as a repository for our codebase and it is a one stop DevOps tool we use in our team."
"The solution makes the CI/CD pipelines easy to execute."
"I like GitLab's security and SAS tools."
"We like that we can have an all-encompassing product and don't have to implement different solutions."
"The stability is good."
"The important feature is the entire process of versioning source code maintenance and easy deployment. It is a necessity for the CI/CD pipeline."
"GitLab offers a good interface for doing code reviews between two colleagues."
"I like GitLab from the CI/CD perspective. It is much easier to set up CI/CD and then integrate with other tools."
"It is a time-saver application."
"The most valuable feature is Burp Collaborator."
"BurpSuite helps us to identify and fix silly mistakes that are sometimes introduced by our developers in their coding."
"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."
"We are mostly using it for scanning the entire website. So, we basically create a script with the entire website and then run it for different injections."
"I find the attack model quite amazing, where I can write my scripts and load my scripts as well, which helps quite a bit. All the active scanning that it can do is also quite a lot helpful. It speeds up our vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. Right now, I am enjoying its in-browser, which also helps quite a bit. I'm always confused about setting up some proxy, but it really is the big solution we all want."
"The solution has a great user interface."
"Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."
"It should be used by a larger number of people. They should raise awareness."
"Some of the scripts that we encountered in GitLab were not fully functional and threw up errors."
"I'm new to GitLab, so I would appreciate more documentation about the code and commands."
"This solution could be improved by adding modifications such as slack notifications."
"Perhaps the integration could be better."
"It can be free for commercial use."
"The documentation is confusing."
"GitLab could add a plugin to integrate with Kubernetes stuff."
"Currently, the scanning is only available in the full version of Burp, and not in the Community version."
"The reporting needs to be improved; it is very bad."
"You can have many false positives in Burp Suite. It depends on the scale of the penetration testing."
"As with most automated security tools, too many false positives."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional could improve the static code review."
"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."
"There is not much automation in the tool."
"The technical support team's response time is mostly delayed and should be improved."
