"For me, as a manager, it was the ease of use. Inserting security into the development process is not normally an easy project to do. The ability for the developer to actually use it and get results and focuses, that's what counted."
"This solution saves us time due to the low number of false positives detected."
"It was easy to set up."
"The security and the dashboard are the most valuable features."
"This is a stable solution."
"Usually when we deploy the application, there is a process for ethical hacking. The main benefit is that, the ethical hacking is almost clean, every time. So it's less cost, less effort, less time to production."
"The product is useful, particularly in its sensitivity and scanning capabilities."
"I have found the best features to be the performance and there are a lot of additional plugins available."
"The most valuable feature is the application security. It also has a reasonable price."
"The initial setup is simple."
"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 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 solution has a pretty simple setup."
"BurpSuite helps us to identify and fix silly mistakes that are sometimes introduced by our developers in their coding."
"The solution scans web applications and supports APIs, which are the main features I really like."
"They could add a software component analysis tool."
"Visibility is an issue for us. Our partners do not know we have integrations with some of IBM products."
"We have experienced challenges when trying to integrate this solution with other products. When you compare it with the other SecOps products, the quality of the output is too low. It is not a new-age product. It is very outdated."
"Scans become slow on large websites."
"I would like to see the roadmap for this product. We are still waiting to see it as we have only so many resources."
"The solution needs to improve in some areas. The tool needs to add more languages. It also needs to improve its speed."
"There are so many lines of code with so many different categories that I am likely to get lost. "
"I think being able to search across more containers, especially some of the docker elements. We need a little tighter integration there. That's the only thing I can see at this point."
"The price could be better. The rest is fine."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional could improve the static code review."
"The technical support team's response time is mostly delayed and should be improved."
"Scanning needs to be improved in enterprise and professional versions."
"One thing that is not up to the mark in PortSwigger is web application testing. I found some issues with its performance and reporting. They should work on these and give us a better outcome."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The solution lacks sufficient stability."
"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."
