We performed a comparison between PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional and Rapid7 InsightAppSec 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."It helps in API testing, where manual intervention was previously necessary for each payload."
"I personally love its capability to automatically and accurately detect vulnerabilities. So, I would say it is the Burp scanner that is THE most powerful, valuable, and an awesome feature."
"The Repeater and the BApp extensions are particularly useful. Certain extensions, such as the Active Scan extensions and the Autoracer extension, are very good."
"The most valuable feature is the application security. It also has a reasonable price."
"It is a time-saver application."
"With the Extender Tab, if you know how to code then you can create a plugin and add it to Burp."
"The suite testing models are very good. It's very secure."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the graphical interface."
"The solution is stable."
"It is very convenient to get reports from the tool, which offers high-level environmental statistics."
"The templates feature is very easy. You just choose the kind of attack you want on your web application, and you run it against that template and receive a report. It's great."
"It is a very robust solution."
"The product’s most valuable feature is UI. It is easy to manage and find vulnerabilities in the application."
"We have seen measurable decrease in the mean time to respond to threats by 20 percent."
"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."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional can improve by having more features in the free version for beginners to try."
"If your application uses multi-factor authentication, registration management cannot be automated."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional could improve the static code review."
"We'd like to have more integration potential across all versions of the product."
"The Initial setup is a bit complex."
"The biggest drawback is reporting. It's not so good. I can download them, but they're not so informative."
"Currently, the scanning is only available in the full version of Burp, and not in the Community version."
"The solution lacks sufficient stability."
"In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing."
"We get a lot of false positives during the tests."
"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."
"The product’s pricing could be flexible."
"The interface should be a little bit easier to manage. Sometimes, the logic that they use is kind of strange. They need to work a little bit more on their interface to make it more understandable. The interface is the only problem. I'm using Rapid7, which is very intuitive. There are other applications available in the market with a better interface. They can include more techniques or options to test different types of security because the templates are limited. It would be great to see them follow the MITRE ATT&CK framework or what is there in tools like Veracode and Synopsys."
"When you add new projects for the same product, it either duplicates or replaces the scan configuration. If I run a scan for the same product with a different scan configuration, it should keep the previous scan configuration and not replace it with the new scan configuration. It should just add the new scan configuration. That would be helpful. They do keep the results as it is, but the scan configuration keeps changing. For example, I have set a scan configuration to a full scan, and next week, I want to run a new scan for the same product with some changes or new functionalities. I want to run a partial scan. Currently, if I change the scan configuration to partial, it changes the old one also to partial. That should be improved."
"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."
"I would like more details of what the product can do."
