We performed a comparison between PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional and Venn Software based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has a pretty simple setup."
"The most valuable feature is Burp Collaborator."
"There is no other tool like it. I like the intuitiveness and the plugins that are available."
"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."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is one of the best user-friendly solutions for getting the proxy set up."
"With the Extender Tab, if you know how to code then you can create a plugin and add it to Burp."
"It helps in API testing, where manual intervention was previously necessary for each payload."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It allows us to improve our security and prevent company files and data leaks."
"Since the software is launched directly from the computer, not remotely delivered, it has minimized latency and response time."
"We don't need to go to the physical office, and it only requires minimal supervision or assistance from our IT Team."
"In the Professional version, we cannot link it with the CI/CD process."
"There should be a heads up display like the one available in OWASP Zap."
"A lot of our interns find it difficult to get used to PortSwigger Burp's environment."
"The biggest drawback is reporting. It's not so good. I can download them, but they're not so informative."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"The Burp Collaborator needs improvement. There also needs to be improved integration."
"I would like to see the return of the spider mechanism instead of the crawling feature. Burp Suite's earlier version 1.7 had an excellent spider option, and it would be beneficial if Burp incorporated those features into the current version. The crawling techniques used in the current version are not as efficient as those used in earlier versions."
"The price could be better. The rest is fine."
"Currently, Venn only uses two platforms/applications: Windows and Mac. It would be great if they could also add more platforms since some BYOD employees might be using an application other than Windows or Mac - for example, Linux."
"It would be better to have the back end more efficient."
"We'd like to see a bit more done with the deployment capabilities."
