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.

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

Pros

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."
"The solution has a great user interface."
"The solution is stable."
"We found PortSwigger to be the best match for our business."
"The reporting part is the most valuable. It also has very good features. We use almost all of the features for different kinds of customers and needs."
"I have found this solution has more plugins than other competitors which is a benefit. You are able to attach different plugins to the security scan to add features. For example, you can check to see if there are any payment systems that exist on a server, or username and password brute force analysis."
"The free version is one of the best proxy tools for manual testing."
"The extension that it provides with the community version for the skills mapping is excellent."
"The suite testing models are very good. It's very secure."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional can improve by having more features in the free version for beginners to try."
"If your application uses multi-factor authentication, registration management cannot be automated."
"The solution is not easy to set it up. You need a lot of knowledge."

"The tool is very expensive."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"It would be beneficial to have privileged access management as a part of Burp Suite Professional."
