Clients come to me for an assessment of their web applications to see the risks that they are facing with their applications. They want to ensure that their application is free of being manipulated and also secure, so they reach out to us to do vulnerability assessment and application penetration testing. We make use of PortSwigger's BurpSuite tool carry this out. We look at it more from an application standpoint, what common vulnerabilities there are like the top 10 OWASP vulnerabilities like Injection(OS/SQL/CMD), broken authentication, session management, cross site request forgery, unvalidated redirects/forwards, etc. Those are the primary uses we make use for this tool.

It's an individual tool that security professionals use for their manual pen-testing. We use it for capturing the traffic, intercepting the traffic between the browser and the application. We try to manipulate the applications, the traffic so that whatever input that is accepted by the application is sanitized and validated. We try to analyze the application for input validation. All inputs are handled correctly.
Another use case is having a scanner module built-in where you can browse the entire application. The scanner can continuously scan the application for vulnerabilities based on OWASP Top 10 standards. Likewise, you can come to know what vulnerabilities are in the application. Later, you can go through the vulnerabilities one by one and triage them.
There are many different modules in Burp Suite. We have a comparator module where you can compare the request and response. You have the Repeater module where you can repeat the sequences. They can be used for other test use cases such as doing disciplinary attacks or brute force attacks on the applications.
Basically, there are a wide variety of use cases and applications.

This is a solution for which I provide services to our customers and I also use it personally.
As part of our organization, we build internal applications. Before they are put into production, we run a suite of security tests to ensure that our applications are not vulnerable to any known issues. We use PortSwigger Burp for testing, as well as OSASP Zap. We do similar tests in multiple tools to make sure that we cover the entire set of use cases.
I have this solution deployed as one user on a single machine, which is used by a designated security tester.

Saminda Jayawardene
Compliance Manager at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
We're a software development company. We specialize in ensuring application security for our customers. For each and every application we release, we issue a certificate explaining that the application is up to date and that all security testing has been successfully completed. In that certificate, we also mention that PortSwigger is one of the tools that we used to test the application.
Presently, we have three users. In the future, regarding product testing, I am thinking of hiring another two people, which will make us a team of five. Currently, we're releasing a lot of applications.
Primarily we have three users, but keep in mind, we only have a single environment, which we need to improve and expand.
