Offers efficient scanning of entire websites but presence of false positive bugs, leading to time-consuming efforts in distinguishing real bugs from false alarms
We have found that so many times, false positive bugs are there, and then we spend a lot of time basically separating them from real bugs. So that's the reason we are looking for some other tool. So we were in discussion with Acunetix. Therefore, the false positive rate is, like, something that we would like to improve. What we are looking for is if this false positive rate goes down because we were OWASP Zap tool users, which was free anyway. But 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. So then we thought, okay, why not we go with the tool? Even if it is not very expensive. But still, every year, we have to renew the license. And we got this tool. Again, we found that in this tool also, even if it is less, there are still a lot of false positive bugs out there. So we again have to spend so much time. So we hired a security tester, who was basically using Acunetix in his previous company for almost three years, and then you said that in that scanning is very slow. The scanning is also slow. Like, sometimes the site scan takes eight hours, six to eight hours. Yeah. And whereas in Acunetix, it took three to four hours. And plus, there are no false positives. I'm not saying none but there's very little. But here, the rate sometimes is very high. These are the two features I think we would like to improve further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the Burp Intruder tool."
"You can download different plugins if you don't have them in the standard edition."
"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."
"BurpSuite helps us to identify and fix silly mistakes that are sometimes introduced by our developers in their coding."
"We are mostly using it for scanning the entire website. So, we basically create a script with the entire website and then run it for different injections."
"Enables automation of different tasks such as authorization testing."
"There is no other tool like it. I like the intuitiveness and the plugins that are available."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"It should provide a better way to integrate with Jenkins so that DAST (dynamic application security testing) can be automated."
"The solution doesn't offer very good scalability."
"As with most automated security tools, too many false positives."
"One thing that is not up to the mark in PortSwigger is web application testing. I found some issues with its performance and reporting. They should work on these and give us a better outcome."
"The solution is not easy to set it up. You need a lot of knowledge."
"It would be beneficial to have privileged access management as a part of Burp Suite Professional."
"The scanner and crawler need to be improved."
"Sometimes the solution can run a little slow."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's pricing is reasonable."
"For a country such as Sri Lanka, the pricing is not reasonable."
"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."
"Licensing costs are about $450/year for one use. For larger organizations, they're able to test against multiple applications while simultaneously others might have multiple versions of applications which needs to be tested which is why we have the enterprise edition."
"It has a yearly license. I am satisfied with its price."
"It is expensive for us in Brazil because the currency exchange rate from a dollar to a Brazilian Real is quite steep."
"PortSwigger is a bit expensive."
"It is a cheap solution, but it may not be cheaper than other solutions."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
