Platform has strengthened attack surface visibility and vulnerability validation but needs better remediation tracking
Pentest-Tools.com could improve in a couple of areas. First, the reporting flexibility could be enhanced. Second, there should be additional automation for remediation tracking since it currently lacks automation for this, requiring me to track remediations manually using the reports. Third, deeper integration with vulnerability management workflows could be beneficial, as I should have more options for integrating the tool with other security pen testing or application scanning tools. Regarding Pentest-Tools.com's AI capabilities, I believe there should be proper boundaries managed by their team in terms of governance and security, especially when the tool provides false positive vulnerabilities. These should also be detected on the governance side and resolved within the tool rather than manually, indicating an area for improvement in governance and compliance. In terms of the accuracy and reliability of Pentest-Tools.com's AI-generated output, I feel it can provide comprehensive output and reports. However, as it is AI-generated, the pentester or user should thoroughly check and validate the output before presenting it to stakeholders or the remediation team.

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

"Pentest-Tools.com has positively impacted my organization in two significant ways."
"Pentest-Tools.com is an entirely wholesome solution that helps with everything in one suite instead of getting two applications doing the same thing."
"If you have a lean DevOps or IT team that needs robust security scanning and professional reporting for compliance or vulnerability management without spending weeks learning CLI security tools or paying exorbitant enterprise fees, Pentest-Tools.com is easily one of the best SaaS solutions available."
"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."
"It was easy to learn."
"This solution provides a very good mechanism for fixing interval time; for example, we can create a schedule, and the schedule runs on time, PortSwigger Burp Suite does not hamper the node of the server and does not shut down the server if it is running, it is quite fast and easy to install as well, and it is also a budget-friendly tool."
"The solution helped us discover vulnerabilities in our applications."
"I find the attack model quite amazing, where I can write my scripts and load my scripts as well, which helps quite a bit."
"I rate PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional ten points out of ten."
"It offers flexibility, macros, and features to reduce the effort required for authenticated sessions."
"Burp has several good features; it's cheaper than other solutions and you can scan any number of applications and it updates its database."
 

Cons

"Pentest-Tools.com could improve in a couple of areas. First, the reporting flexibility could be enhanced."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional can improve by having more features in the free version for beginners to try."

"BurpSuite has some issues regarding authentication with OAT tokens that need to be improved."
"In the Professional version, we cannot link it with the CI/CD process."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high."
"There could be an improvement in the API security testing."
"There are some memory issues, where the application runs out of memory and crashes."
