Executive Vice President, Operations at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
The product and customer service is extremely efficient but I would like to see more research and code examples.
* The continuous online scanning capabilities and reporting features. * The SaaS product features accessible from a browser make managing our online systems easy. * The ability to review security items quickly along with being able to retest vulnerabilities on our schedule make the Sentinel product an invaluable tool for our company’s product security requirements.

Dedicated browser and repeater have improved my proxy testing and manual vulnerability checks
I'm hoping perhaps for something to make it easier, such as to define things where if a message or a response is such and such, automatically make a request that is such and such. Perhaps something like this because otherwise, nowadays we have to do it manually. Perhaps they can automate it a bit more. Perhaps they could add some automation to things, to see what we do manually, which it has the tools to do manually, and perhaps enable with a click of a button to do things automatically. I'm not too sure which, but I'm sure they can from a product management point of view, do things that we need to do two, three, or four steps manually regarding specific testing. For instance, we want to check something specific if it's this or if it's that. Perhaps to define it once and have it more automatic, perhaps.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The SaaS product features accessible from a browser make managing our online systems easy."
"I find the attack model quite amazing, where I can write my scripts and load my scripts as well, which helps quite a bit."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the Burp Intruder tool."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the advanced features, user-friendly interface, and integration with other tools."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the dashboard, which is very informative and lets you receive all the information you need in one place, as it is clear, well-defined, and organized so that anybody without any cybersecurity experience can use it."
"It offers flexibility, macros, and features to reduce the effort required for authenticated sessions."
"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."
"The extension that it provides with the community version for the skills mapping is excellent."
"It is a time-saver application."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more research and code examples for the vulnerabilities identified to better assist us with our remediation process."
"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."
"For a country such as Sri Lanka, the pricing is not reasonable."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The technical support team's response time is mostly delayed and should be improved."
"The biggest drawback is reporting. It's not so good. I can download them, but they're not so informative."
"It's not so stable. Some of the security aspects aren't so stable."
"There needs to be better documentation provided."
"The interface for the automatic scan can be improved because it is easy for technical users, but the business users have trouble with it."
