PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Cyber security manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees4.5I use Burp Suite Professional for website testing and server scanning, particularly for IP addresses and port checks. Its task scheduling feature is valuable, but it could improve with privileged access management. I also use Nessus for cheaper external scanning.
Application Security Architect at Kuehne & Nagel Inc.5.0I use PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional for security assessments, finding it indispensable for penetration testing with its comprehensive features and plugin support. Although the pricing could be improved, it outperforms the free OWASP ZAP, making it worth the investment.
Team Lead at dhabsc4.0I find PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional highly valuable for its Repeater and BApp extensions, despite preferring the older spider mechanism over the current crawling feature. I've consistently relied on Burp Suite for application security testing alongside Zap Framework.
Head - Quality Control at Net Solutions3.5We use PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional for security testing due to its scanning features, though we struggle with high false positive rates. Previously, we tried OWASP Zap and Acunetix, valuing Burp Suite's affordability despite its scanning speed issues.
Information Security Engineer at Tübitak Bilgem5.0I use PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional primarily for penetration testing due to its strong suite features. However, there is room for improvement, particularly in composition, and adding AI features could enhance its functionality.
Qulity Engineer at Lloyds Banking Group PLC3.5I use PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional to test our banking application's performance and security due to its user-friendly interface and effective scanning of web applications and APIs. However, it could improve in providing detailed defect insights beyond cookies.
Test Lead at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.0I found PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional to be an effective manual penetration testing tool and easy to learn. However, it struggles with automating multi-factor authentication and session management, particularly in the enterprise edition, affecting its integration into pipelines.
Senior Cyber Security Analyst at a tech services company with 201-500 employees4.5As a penetration tester, I find Burp Suite Professional invaluable for its automated scanning and features that simplify finding vulnerabilities. However, its integration into CI/CD pipelines is challenging and requires more technical knowledge compared to alternatives like SAP.
