Facilitates continuous assessment of applications, covering both static and dynamic security aspects
Code Dx lacks one aspect, the dynamic security part, known as DAST. It's not an on-premise solution; it's in the cloud now. There are compliance standards and data standards where the customer might need to have the data on-premises for dynamic security testing. So that is one shortfall. An area of improvement could be developing an on-premise DAST solution. The current one is a complete cloud-based solution, and that can be one of the areas of improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The technical support from PortSwigger is excellent, managing response time and quality efficiently without any issues."
"This solution has helped a lot in finding bugs and vulnerabilities, and the scanner is good enough for simple web apps."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is that it comes with pre-set configurations. They have a set of predefined options where you can pick one and start scanning. We also have the option of creating our own configurations, like how often do the applications need to be scanned."
"The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional are its ease of use and its cost efficiency."
"The solution helped us discover vulnerabilities in our applications."
"The suite testing models are very good. It's very secure."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is one of the best user-friendly solutions for getting the proxy set up."
"I find the attack model quite amazing, where I can write my scripts and load my scripts as well, which helps quite a bit. All the active scanning that it can do is also quite a lot helpful. It speeds up our vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. Right now, I am enjoying its in-browser, which also helps quite a bit. I'm always confused about setting up some proxy, but it really is the big solution we all want."
"The customers were looking for something around static security and dynamic security, and in all those areas, they were looking for an industry leader with a proven solution. Synopsys is a Gartner leader, so I position this particular technology for the technical pre-sales part of it."
 

Cons

"There could be an improvement in the API security testing. There is another tool called Postman and if we had a built-in portal similar to Postman which captures the API, we would be able to generate the API traffic. Right now we need a Postman tool and the Burp Suite for performing API tests. It would be a huge benefit to be able to do it in a single UI."
"Integration is a big problem."
"The Auto Scanning features should be updated more frequently and should include the latest attack vectors."
"Currently, the scanning is only available in the full version of Burp, and not in the Community version."
"We wish that the Spider feature would appear in the same shape that it does in previous versions."
"There were a lot of false positives there, and we used to spend a lot of time, like, for security reasons, reproducing those bugs for the development team to fix it."
"The price could be better. The rest is fine."
"The technical support team's response time is mostly delayed and should be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit challenging because things are not easy. It needs a lot of technology adaptability plus the customer's environment-specific use cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a value for money product."
"There are multiple versions available of PortSwigger Burp Suite, such as enterprise, commercial, professional, and beginners."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"PortSwigger is reasonably-priced. It's fair."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is an expensive solution."
"The yearly cost is about $300."
"Burp Suite is affordable."
"The solution used to be expensive. However, they have reduced the price to approximately $400.00 which is reasonable."
"It is more of an enterprise solution for budget-conscious customers. So, it's moderately priced. It's not for everybody."
