The product and customer service is extremely efficient but I would like to see more research and code examples.
* The continuous online scanning capabilities and reporting features. * The SaaS product features accessible from a browser make managing our online systems easy. * The ability to review security items quickly along with being able to retest vulnerabilities on our schedule make the Sentinel product an invaluable tool for our company’s product security requirements.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The SaaS product features accessible from a browser make managing our online systems easy."
"This is one of the best tools that I'm using; I found this one much better."
"I am impressed with the tool's detailed analysis for penetration testing. AppScan can give only visibility, but it can't do the PT part. But the PortSwigger Burp Application can do both, and it gives much more visibility on the PT rating."
"In my area of expertise, I feel like it has almost everything I could possibly require at this moment."
"Burp has several good features; it's cheaper than other solutions and you can scan any number of applications and it updates its database."
"It helps in API testing, where manual intervention was previously necessary for each payload."
"Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."
"It is a time-saver application."
"The free version is one of the best proxy tools for manual testing."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more research and code examples for the vulnerabilities identified to better assist us with our remediation process."
"There could be an improvement in the API security testing."
"Scanning APIs using PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional takes a lot of time."
"The interface for the automatic scan can be improved because it is easy for technical users, but the business users have trouble with it."
"It would be beneficial to have privileged access management as a part of Burp Suite Professional."
"For a country such as Sri Lanka, the pricing is not reasonable."
"There is not much automation in the tool."
"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."
"You can have many false positives in Burp Suite. It depends on the scale of the penetration testing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The platform's pricing is reasonable."
"We have one license. The price is very nominal."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is expensive compared to other tools."
"Pricing is not very high. It was around $200."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective and is best suited for small and medium-sized businesses."
"The cost is approximately $500 for a single license, and there are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"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."
