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.

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

"BurpSuite helps us to identify and fix silly mistakes that are sometimes introduced by our developers in their coding."
"This solution has helped our company in many ways."
"Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."
"The reporting part is the most valuable. It also has very good features. We use almost all of the features for different kinds of customers and needs."
"The suite testing models are very good. It's very secure."
"The Repeater and the BApp extensions are particularly useful. Certain extensions, such as the Active Scan extensions and the Autoracer extension, are very good."
"It is useful for scanning and tracing activities."
"Burp is the best web application penetration testing tool that I have ever used."
"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

"The professional edition of Burp Suite provides some automated pen-testing scripts to detect application vulnerabilities, like SQL injection, XSS, etc. However, this component is not extremely useful."
"The Iran market does not have after-sales support. PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional needs to provide after-sales support."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high."
"There needs to be better documentation provided."
"Even though I started working with PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional, I think I may have run the Scanner once, but I prefer to run ZAP because I'm more used to it and I think it checks many more vulnerabilities."
"We wish that the Spider feature would appear in the same shape that it does in previous versions."
"The price could be better. The rest is fine."
"Scanning needs to be improved in enterprise and professional versions."
"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

"I rate the pricing a four out of ten."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is an expensive solution."
"For a country such as Sri Lanka, the pricing is not reasonable."
"It's a lower priced tool that we can rely on with good standard mechanisms."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is an expensive solution."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective and is best suited for small and medium-sized businesses."
"They should reduce the license cost a little bit. It is $400 per user, and it would be better if they could reduce the licensing fee."
"It is more of an enterprise solution for budget-conscious customers. So, it's moderately priced. It's not for everybody."
