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

"It has enabled me to develop a more comprehensive SDLC."
"In my area of expertise, I feel like it has almost everything I could possibly require at this moment."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional has an intercept tab that helps us to scan our APIs, set the response, and request errors."
"Return on investment is good because it's a globally known product."
"The technical support from PortSwigger is excellent, managing response time and quality efficiently without any issues."
"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."
"There is no other tool like it. I like the intuitiveness and the plugins that are available."
"It's good testing software."
"If you compare it to more expensive tools like WebInspect or IBM AppScan, you'll realize that, at a very low cost, Burp Suite can provide good results."
 

Cons

"There were some incompatibility issues after a Windows update where the NTO consumed all the available RAM."
"There should be a heads up display like the one available in OWASP Zap."
"The biggest improvement that I would like to see from PortSwigger that today many people see as an issue in their testing. There might be a feature which might be desired."
"I need the solution to be more user-friendly. The solution needs to be user-friendly."
"The use of system memory is an area that can be improved because it uses a lot."
"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."
"It's not so stable. Some of the security aspects aren't so stable."
"There is a lot to this product, and it would be good if when you purchase the tool, they can provide us with a more extensive user manual."
"BurpSuite has some issues regarding authentication with OAT tokens that need to be improved."
