We performed a comparison between PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional and Tenable.io Web Application Scanning 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."Once I capture the proxy, I'm able to transfer across. All the requested information is there. I can send across the request to what we call a repeater, where I get to ready the payload that I send to the application. Put in malicious content and then see if it's responding to it."
"This tool is more accurate than the other solutions that we use, and reports fewer false positives."
"It is a time-saver application."
"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."
"The solution helped us discover vulnerabilities in our applications."
"In my area of expertise, I feel like it has almost everything I could possibly require at this moment."
"It helps in API testing, where manual intervention was previously necessary for each payload."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite does not hamper the node of the server, and it does not shut down the server if it is running."
"It is fully automated."
"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities."
"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."
"The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is stable."
"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."
"Scanning needs to be improved in enterprise and professional versions."
"There needs to be better documentation provided. Currently, we need to buy books, or we need to review online some use cases from other professionals who have been using the solution to find out their experience. It is not easy to find out how to properly do a security assessment."
"We'd like to have more integration potential across all versions of the product."
"BurpSuite has some issues regarding authentication with OAT tokens that need to be improved."
"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The reporting needs to be improved; it is very bad."
"The use of system memory is an area that can be improved because it uses a lot."
"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."
"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
"I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package. It is fully automated. Other web application testers programs are actually proxy software, and the proxy software gives you the flexibility of modifying the outgoing package, which will actually help you in exploiting any vulnerability in detail."
"The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive."
"The platform's technical support services could be better."
"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."
