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

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."
"When we compare it to other programs that we have such as OWAP Zap, we found Burp to be more suitable."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is that it comes with pre-set configurations, with a set of predefined options where you can pick one and start scanning, and we also have the option of creating our own configurations, such as how often the applications need to be scanned, along with good reporting and dashboards that integrate well with other task management applications we are using."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the Burp Intruder tool."
"It's good testing software."
"The most valuable feature is the application security. It also has a reasonable price."
"Burp is the best web application penetration testing tool that I have ever used."
""The product is very good just the way it is; It has everything already well established and functions great. I can't see any way for this current version to be improved.""
"I find the attack model quite amazing, where I can write my scripts and load my scripts as well, which helps quite a bit."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The use of system memory is an area that can be improved because it uses a lot."
"As with most automated security tools, there is still a high false positive issue."
"It's not so stable. Some of the security aspects aren't so stable."
"We wish that the Spider feature would appear in the same shape that it does in previous versions."
"The Iran market does not have after-sales support. PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional needs to provide after-sales support."
"The scanner and crawler need to be improved."
"In general, there's not much to complain about but the stability of the tool is not good enough."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective and is best suited for small and medium-sized businesses."
"For a country such as Sri Lanka, the pricing is not reasonable."

"I rate the pricing a four out of ten."
