We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"When we work on safety modules, it is mandatory to fulfill ISO 26262 compliance. Using Prover helps fulfill the standard on top of many other quality checks, like division by zero, data type casts, and null pointer dereferences.""The product detects memory corruptions.""The outputs are very reliable.""Polyspace Code Prover is a very user-friendly tool.""Polyspace Code Prover has made me realize it differs from other static code analysis tools because it runs the code. So it's quite distinct in that aspect."

"It helps in API testing, where manual intervention was previously necessary for each payload.""The solution is stable.""The solution has a great user interface.""Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them.""The most valuable features are Burp Intruder and Burp Scanner.""The automated scan is what I find most useful because a lot of customers will need it. Not every domain will be looking for complete security, they just need a stamp on the security key. For these kinds of customers, the scan works really well.""The Repeater and the BApp extensions are particularly useful. Certain extensions, such as the Active Scan extensions and the Autoracer extension, are very good.""Once I capture the proxy, I'm able to transfer across. All the requested information is there. I can send across the request to what we call a repeater, where I get to ready the payload that I send to the application. Put in malicious content and then see if it's responding to it."

The solution needs to be user-friendly.""A lot of our interns find it difficult to get used to PortSwigger Burp's environment.""The solution doesn't offer very good scalability.""Sometimes the solution can run a little slow.""The biggest drawback is reporting. It's not so good. I can download them, but they're not so informative.""There is not much automation in the tool.""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.""You can have many false positives in Burp Suite. It depends on the scale of the penetration testing."

    Overview

    Polyspace Code Prover is a sound static analysis tool that proves the absence of overflow, divide-by-zero, out-of-bounds array access, and certain other run-time errors in C and C++ source code. It produces results without requiring program execution, code instrumentation, or test cases. Polyspace Code Prover uses semantic analysis and abstract interpretation based on formal methods to verify software interprocedural, control, and data flow behavior. You can use it on handwritten code, generated code, or a combination of the two. Each operation is color-coded to indicate whether it is free of run-time errors, proven to fail, unreachable, or unproven.
