Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Static Application Security Testing (SAST)."The most valuable features are Burp Intruder and Burp Scanner."
"The suite testing models are very good. It's very secure."
"It's good testing software."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the Burp Intruder tool."
"For pentesting scenarios, this is the number one tool. It can capture the request, and there are so many functions that are very good for that. For example, a black box satellite host."
"This tool is more accurate than the other solutions that we use, and reports fewer false positives."
"The solution has a pretty simple setup."
"It offers very good accuracy. You can trust the results."
"A significant advantage of Seeker is that it is an interactive scanner, and we have found it to be much more effective in reducing the amount of false positives than dynamic scanners such as AppScan, Micro Focus Fortify, etc. Furthermore, with Seeker, we are finding more and more valid (i.e. "true") positives over time compared with the dynamic scanners."
"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."
"Scanning needs to be improved in enterprise and professional versions."
"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."
"Scanning APIs using PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional takes a lot of time."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"If your application uses multi-factor authentication, registration management cannot be automated."
"It would be good if the solution could give us more details about what exactly is defective."
"We'd like to have more integration potential across all versions of the product."
"One area that Seeker can improve is to make it more customizable. All security scanning tools have a defined set of rules that are based on certain criteria which they will use to detect issues. However, the criteria that you set initially is not something that all applications are going to need."
