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.

Pros

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is one of the best user-friendly solutions for getting the proxy set up."
"Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."
"You can download different plugins if you don't have them in the standard edition."
"BurpSuite helps us to identify and fix silly mistakes that are sometimes introduced by our developers in their coding."
"The most valuable features are Burp Intruder and Burp Scanner."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the dashboard, which is very informative and lets you receive all the information you need in one place, as it is clear, well-defined, and organized so that anybody without any cybersecurity experience can use it."
"I find the attack model quite amazing, where I can write my scripts and load my scripts as well, which helps quite a bit. All the active scanning that it can do is also quite a lot helpful. It speeds up our vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. Right now, I am enjoying its in-browser, which also helps quite a bit. I'm always confused about setting up some proxy, but it really is the big solution we all want."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
"I am from Brazil. The currency exchange rate from a dollar to a Brazilian Real is quite steep. It is almost six to one. It would be good if it can be sold in the local currency, and its price is cheaper for us."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"BurpSuite has some issues regarding authentication with OAT tokens that need to be improved."
"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."
"The Auto Scanning features should be updated more frequently and should include the latest attack vectors."
"Sometimes the solution can run a little slow."
"The biggest drawback is reporting. It's not so good."
"The Initial setup is a bit complex."
