Offers efficient scanning of entire websites but presence of false positive bugs, leading to time-consuming efforts in distinguishing real bugs from false alarms

Pros

"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."

Cons

"There were a lot of false positives there, and we used to spend a lot of time, like, for security reasons, reproducing those bugs for the development team to fix it. "

The solution is versatile and easy to deploy, but it needs to give more detailed security reports

Pros

"The solution scans web applications and supports APIs, which are the main features I really like."

Cons

"It would be good if the solution could give us more details about what exactly is defective."

Schedules regular website scans for enhanced security checks

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Burp Suite Professional is its ability to schedule tasks for scanning websites, which helps in performing regular checks of IP addresses. "

Cons

"It would be beneficial to have privileged access management as a part of Burp Suite Professional."

A special tool for penetration testers or security specialists to conduct security assessments

Pros

"You can download different plugins if you don't have them in the standard edition."

Cons

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

Effective automatic scanning, Academy portal for learning, and reliable

Pros

"The automated scan is what I find most useful because a lot of customers will need it. Not every domain will be looking for complete security, they just need a stamp on the security key. For these kinds of customers, the scan works really well."

Cons

"There could be an improvement in the API security testing. There is another tool called Postman and if we had a built-in portal similar to Postman which captures the API, we would be able to generate the API traffic. Right now we need a Postman tool and the Burp Suite for performing API tests. It would be a huge benefit to be able to do it in a single UI."

Offers efficient crawling functionality and good stability

Pros

"The Repeater and the BApp extensions are particularly useful. Certain extensions, such as the Active Scan extensions and the Autoracer extension, are very good. "

Cons

"I would like to see the return of the spider mechanism instead of the crawling feature. Burp Suite's earlier version 1.7 had an excellent spider option, and it would be beneficial if Burp incorporated those features into the current version. The crawling techniques used in the current version are not as efficient as those used in earlier versions."

Works as a vulnerability scanner and checks websites and web applications

Pros

"The solution has a limited range of functions, which is good for small companies. This is because, in small companies, websites are less complex. They also have single services which makes the solution good enough for them. However, the most advantageous aspect of the solution is its affordable price."

Cons

"The Iran market does not have after-sales support. PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional needs to provide after-sales support."
