"The active scanner, which does an automated search of any web vulnerabilities."
"Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."
"Enables automation of different tasks such as authorization testing."
"This tool is more accurate than the other solutions that we use, and reports fewer false positives."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional has an intercept tab that helps us to scan our APIs, set the response, and request errors."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the dashboard. It is very informative and you can receive all the information you need in one place. It's clear, well-defined, and organized. Anybody without any cybersecurity can use it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the graphical interface."
"It is a very robust solution."
"The initial setup for us was easy enough. We didn't face too many issues. Deployment took maybe 30 minutes. It's quite quick and doesn't cause too much trouble at the outset."
"In Rapid7 InsightAppSec, a distinctive feature is the provision of a CDM for integrating web servers and web applications. To establish the connection between these applications, you only need to paste the provided CDN into your metadata. Once connected, every piece of information, including vulnerabilities, can be accessed. It also offers demo sessions."
"We have seen measurable decrease in the mean time to respond to threats by 20 percent."
"It is very convenient to get reports from the tool, which offers high-level environmental statistics."
"It uses a signature-based method to check for problems with your code and will provide an alert if anything is found."
"The product’s most valuable feature is UI. It is easy to manage and find vulnerabilities in the application."
"Currently, the scanning is only available in the full version of Burp, and not in the Community version."
"One area that can be improved, when compared to alternative tools, is that they could provide different reporting options and in different formats like PDF or something like that."
"I would like to see the return of the spider mechanism instead of the crawling feature. Burp Suite's earlier version 1.7 had an excellent spider option, and it would be beneficial if Burp incorporated those features into the current version. The crawling techniques used in the current version are not as efficient as those used in earlier versions."
"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."
"We wish that the Spider feature would appear in the same shape that it does in previous versions."
"If your application uses multi-factor authentication, registration management cannot be automated."
"The Burp Collaborator needs improvement. There also needs to be improved integration."
"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."
"In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing."
"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."
"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."
"Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement in detecting phishing pages."
"We get a lot of false positives during the tests."
"The product’s pricing could be flexible."
"The number of web applications we can scan is limited."
"The only concern I have with Rapid7 is that it does not provide enough information about vulnerabilities within AppSec."
