Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Testing (AST)."The way they do the research and they keep their profile up to date is great. They identify vulnerabilities and update them immediately."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite does not hamper the node of the server, and it does not shut down the server if it is running."
"The Spider is the most useful feature. It helps to analyze the entire web application, and it finds all the passes and offers an automated identification of security issues."
"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."
"BurpSuite helps us to identify and fix silly mistakes that are sometimes introduced by our developers in their coding."
"It's good testing software."
"The solution is quite helpful for session management and configuration."
"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."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional can improve by having more features in the free version for beginners to try."
"The Auto Scanning features should be updated more frequently and should include the latest attack vectors."
"The technical support team's response time is mostly delayed and should be improved."
"The reporting needs to be improved; it is very bad."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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 needs to be improved in enterprise and professional versions."
"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."
"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."
