Executive Vice President, Operations at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
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."
"I highly recommend it because everybody in Web Applications Security is using it."
"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."
"Enables automation of different tasks such as authorization testing."
"It was easy to learn."
"For pentesting scenarios, this is the number one tool, as it can capture the request and there are so many functions that are very good for that, for example, a black box satellite host."
"The solution scans web applications and supports APIs, which are the main features I really like."
"The solution has a limited range of functions, which is good for small companies. This is because, in small companies, websites are less complex. They also have single services which makes the solution good enough for them. However, the most advantageous aspect of the solution is its affordable price."
"One useful function is the ability to send requests to the repeater without making actual requests through the browser, allowing me to modify requests easily."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more research and code examples for the vulnerabilities identified to better assist us with our remediation process."
"It would be beneficial to have privileged access management as a part of Burp Suite Professional."
"If your application uses multi-factor authentication, registration management cannot be automated."
"There is room for improvement in composition and improvements could be made."
"Mitigating the issues and low confluence issues needs some improvement. Implementing demand with the ChatGPT under the web solution is an additional feature I would like to see in the next release."
"There needs to be better documentation provided. Currently, we need to buy books, or we need to review online some use cases from other professionals who have been using the solution to find out their experience. It is not easy to find out how to properly do a security assessment."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high."
"The one feature that I would like to see in Burp is active scanning of REST based web services."
"The reporting needs to be improved; it is very bad."
