Its ability to detect even complex vulnerabilities is invaluable

I would like WebInspect's scanning capability to be quicker. Specifically, being able to scan a particular flow or part of an application more rapidly would be beneficial. Additionally, the cost of the licensing, particularly for multiple user licenses, could be more relevant, which would improve affordability and distribution among users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fortify WebInspect is a scalable solution, it is good for a lot of applications."

"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."

"It's a well-known platform for doing dynamic application scanning."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to make our customers more secure."

"The feature that has been most influential in identifying vulnerabilities is its ability to crawl the website, understand the structure, and analyze the network packets sent and received."

"There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."

More OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing pros

"The way they do the research and they keep their profile up to date is great. They identify vulnerabilities and update them immediately."

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

"It is useful for scanning and tracing activities."

"It was easy to learn."

"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the Burp Intruder tool."

"It's good testing software."

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

"With the Extender Tab, if you know how to code then you can create a plugin and add it to Burp."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional pros

Cons

"We have had a problem with authentification."

"Not sufficiently compatible with some of our systems."

"It requires improvement in terms of scanning. The application scan heavily utilizes the resources of an on-premise server. 32 GB RAM is very high for an enterprise web application."

"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."

"I want to enhance automation. Currently, Fortify WebInspect can scan and find vulnerabilities, but users with specific skills need to interpret the results and understand how to address them."

"It took us between eight and ten hours to scan an entire site, which is somewhat slow and something that I think can be improved."

"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."

"I'm not sure licensing, but on the pricing, it's a bit costly. It's a bit overpriced. Though it is an enterprise tool, there are other tools also with similar functionalities."

More OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing cons

"It should provide a better way to integrate with Jenkins so that DAST (dynamic application security testing) can be automated."

"The Initial setup is a bit complex."

"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."

"The reporting needs to be improved; it is very bad."

"Scanning needs to be improved in enterprise and professional versions."

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

"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."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional can improve by having more features in the free version for beginners to try."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s a fair price for the solution."

"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."

"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."

"The price is okay."

"This solution is very expensive."

"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."

"Its price is almost similar to the price of AppScan. Both of them are very costly. Its price could be reduced because it can be very costly for unlimited IT scans, etc. I'm not sure, but it can go up to $40,000 to $50,000 or more than that."

"The price for the solution is expensive and could be cheaper. We pay an annual license and our team has several of them."

"The cost is approximately $500 for a single license, and there are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is expensive compared to other tools."

"We have one license. The price is very nominal."

"Pricing is not very high. It was around $200."

"PortSwigger is reasonably-priced. It's fair."

"PortSwigger is a bit expensive."
