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.

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

Pros

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."
"I find all the features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional most useful, particularly the AI enhancement for results and follow-up for retests."
"The active scanner, which does an automated search of any web vulnerabilities."
"It offers flexibility, macros, and features to reduce the effort required for authenticated sessions."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the advanced features, user-friendly interface, and integration with other tools."
"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 features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional are its ease of use and its cost efficiency."
"The tool provides complimentary services. It allows you to add a lot of extensions, and you can get extensions quite often. It is quite a flexible application."
"This solution has done a lot to improve our organization, allowing us to be proactive and solve issues before our external auditors find them."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
"The solution is not easy to set it up. You need a lot of knowledge."
"I would like to see a more optimized solution, as it currently uses a lot of CPU power and memory."
"One more thing they can improve is that despite having a good architecture, it needs a lot of specification."
"The solution isn't too stable; the fundamentals of it make it difficult to use."
"It should provide a better way to integrate with Jenkins so that DAST (dynamic application security testing) can be automated."
"There needs to be better documentation provided."
"The reporting needs to be improved; it is very bad."
"BurpSuite has some issues regarding authentication with OAT tokens that need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Burp Suite is affordable."
"The pricing of the solution is reasonable. We only need to pay for the annual subscription. I rate the pricing five out of ten."
"The platform's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing of the solution is cost-effective and is best suited for small and medium-sized businesses."
"For a country such as Sri Lanka, the pricing is not reasonable."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is an expensive solution."
"We are using the community version, which is free."
