Enables time-saving automated scanning and brute force attacks
The most appreciated functionality of PortSwigger Burp Suite is its ability to perform brute force attacks automatically. Its automated scanning feature saves time. Additionally, using this tool provides significant security insights, making our testing process more efficient and comprehensive, leading to considerable time savings, which in turn translates to financial benefits.

Streamlines prioritization but reporting needs enhancement
There are several areas needing improvement. The product helps, but the reporting relies heavily on Power BI. It is limited to graphical views and requires additional filtering, posing operational challenges. The inability to download specific asset details directly from the Power BI portal is a drawback, particularly for non-technical users, though it provides high-level executive summaries. The reporting model should be enhanced so that we have the flexibility to download. We have requested a few features, and they are open to accepting those requests. It needs ITSM improvements. It has out-of-the-box integration with ServiceNow, but the customer is using BMC Helix ITSM. We would like an integration with BMC Helix ITSM. When uploading CSV files without an out-of-the-box connector, duplicate entries for assets occur. We have already reported this to them, but we are not sure when they will fix it. It will significantly benefit if we can directly upload business context information from CMDB without manual merging efforts. It can also have automatic remediation capabilities through SCCM or something else.

Pros

"The most appreciated functionality of PortSwigger Burp Suite is its ability to perform brute force attacks automatically."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable part is that a beginner can run those scans and the V scanning of that particular vulnerability."
"We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features; however, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."
"I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments."
"This tool helps identify vulnerabilities. We then provide the report to the developers, who address the issues identified automatically. Its most valuable feature is CI/CD integration."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use, and they frequently improve the solution every six months to a year."
"It is very good when it comes to ingesting information from different sources and then displaying this information in an easy-to-use platform."
"The automation capabilities using the Vulcan API platform or the API feature allow me to easily automate scripts and reports and schedule them."
"Vulcan Cyber is a very good tool."
"I find the ability to consolidate information from multiple vulnerability scanners into a single source valuable."
"The interface of Vulcan Cyber is intuitive with a lot of information about vulnerabilities, which helps in classifying and analyzing threats."
"Out of the three solutions I've used, Vulcan Cyber is the superior option."
"The interface of Vulcan Cyber is intuitive with a lot of information about vulnerabilities, which helps in classifying and analyzing threats. We have a good view of assets and vulnerabilities. It helps to do good threat analysis because we can see exactly what the threat is and assess it accordingly."
"Vulcan Cyber gives the remediation team the focus points."
 

Cons

"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."
"The stability is a big issue. So many times the scans fail."
"It's not a stable product. Sometimes, it takes a lot of time to scan."
"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."
"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition should incorporate a static code analysis feature. One main issue we encounter is false positives. False positives can be challenging for developers."
"It was a rough year in terms of setup. I had to set it up and onboard it. It was a significant effort from my side at least."
"The performance is bad. The query and the UI are always slow, and it's quite frustrating. Vulcan is trying to solve this with a newer design. The dashboard is also crowded. It pulls in all this raw information that you need to filter. Vulcan has filtering capabilities, but they're hard to manage. The labels aren't very clear, so you need to do things by trial and error. It's not as easy as other tools we've been using."
"The fact that we cannot use it for our reporting leads me to rate it three out of ten."
"An important area is performance and speed, as Vulcan Cyber often lacks speed when exporting reports."
"Initially, when onboarding Vulcan Cyber, the setup and configuration was more complex than expected with a user-friendly approach. This aspect can be enhanced."
"We have the highest privilege in the application, and at least for members with the highest privilege, having the capability to reach out to the vendor directly from the application would be beneficial."
"Monitoring of the evolution of campaigns and perhaps having more customized options for monitoring them would be great."
"I would rate the tool between six and seven because there have been instances when the tool was down, and I couldn't access Cyber reports. Additionally, the Vulcan Cyber team made changes to the tool and did not notify us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is neither a cheap nor an expensive product. PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is a good tool for companies."
"Although the solution can be a bit expensive for small companies, its pricing is fairly reasonable for its capabilities."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable and costs around 400 dollars per year."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is expensive compared to other solutions."
"For Professional, it's about $400 per year."
"Our leadership knows better about the pricing. As per my knowledge, which might not be accurate, its price can come down."
"Its pricing is quite fair compared to what is out there in the market, especially compared to the tool from Microsoft. It is a SaaS platform that has an annual cost, so it is something that is already used by many companies. It is quite affordable."
