Effective scanning of diverse file extensions with fast reporting and issue resolution
We develop software packages for clients, and these clients are mostly in the BFSI sector. The packages need to be scanned, and we engage Fortify WebInspect for this.  Customers typically perform their own application pen tests, but in some cases, we have engagements where customers want us to scan…
Mustufa Bhavnagarwala - PeerSpot reviewer
With a super easy initial setup phase, the tool also offers regular updates
PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition's new features released in the last two years are really good, so I won't say that I am not looking at any new features. The product's latest feature, which was really good, but had an issue since it allowed us in our company to put the proxy in the browser and then connect it with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition to get the calls resolved with the help of setup allowing for browser features inside PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition. I want PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition to be available on the cloud, though my concerns stem from the fact that I don't know how an application hosted on the cloud can do a proxy for an application. I can't recall what needs to be added to the solution to make it better, but I have seen that when I use the product, I feel that the tool needs to have a few elements added to it. The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing.

Cons

"We have often encountered scanning errors."

"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."

"From my personal experience, the solution's performance could be improved."
"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."

"The price is okay."
"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
"It’s a fair price for the solution."

"For Professional, it's about $400 per year."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is expensive compared to other solutions."
