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 has an established roadmap that lays out its plans for upgrades over the next two to three years."
"The most important features of GitLab for us are issue management and all the CI/CD tools. Another aspect that I love about GitLab is the UI."
"CI/CD is valuable for me."
"GitLab is being used as a repository for our codebase and it is a one stop DevOps tool we use in our team."
"I like that you can use GitLab as a double-sided solution for both DevOps and version management. It's a good product for working in these two areas, and the user interface makes it easy to understand."
"CI/CD is very good. The version control system is also good. These are the two features that we use."
"The most valuable functionality of GitLab, for me, is the DevOps. Besides the normal source control based on Git, I find the Auto DevOps features most important in the solution."
"I find the features and version control history to be most valuable for our development workflow. These aspects provide us with a clear view of changes and help us manage requests efficiently."
"This tool is more accurate than the other solutions that we use, and reports fewer false positives."
"Enables automation of different tasks such as authorization testing."
"The most valuable feature is Burp Collaborator."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite does not hamper the node of the server, and it does not shut down the server if it is running."
"The solution is quite helpful for session management and configuration."
""The product is very good just the way it is; It has everything already well established and functions great. I can't see any way for this current version to be improved.""
"It offers very good accuracy. You can trust the results."
"The Repeater and the BApp extensions are particularly useful. Certain extensions, such as the Active Scan extensions and the Autoracer extension, are very good."
"We do face issues in our company when we run out of disk space."
"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."
"It can be free for commercial use."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"I would like to have some features to support peer review."
"The solution should again offer an on-premises deployment option."
"When deploying the solution on cloud and the CI/CD pipeline, we have to define the steps and it becomes confusing."
"I would like more Agile features in the Premium version. The Premium version should have all Agile features that exist in the Ultimate version. IBM AOM has a complete Agile implementation, but in GitLab, you only have these features if you buy the Ultimate version. It would be good if we can use these in the Premium version."
"The price could be better. The rest is fine."
"The solution doesn't offer very good scalability."
"There should be a heads up display like the one available in OWASP Zap."
"There is not much automation in the tool."
"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 Auto Scanning features should be updated more frequently and should include the latest attack vectors."
"It would be good if the solution could give us more details about what exactly is defective."
"Scanning needs to be improved in enterprise and professional versions."
