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."
"The most valuable feature is the application security. It also has a reasonable price."
"You can download different plugins if you don't have them in the standard edition."
"Unearthing these issues really helps me build confidence and relationships with clients on two counts."
"Everyone seems very happy with the solution."
"Return on investment is good because it's a globally known product."
"The solution is very user-friendly, and the way they do the research and keep their profile up to date is great, as they identify vulnerabilities and update them immediately."
"The most valuable feature of Burp Suite Professional is its ability to schedule tasks for scanning websites, which helps in performing regular checks of IP addresses."
"I have found the best features to be the performance and there are a lot of additional plugins available."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
"The Initial setup is a bit complex."
"The dashboard of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional could be made more user-friendly."
"The solution is not easy to set it up. You need a lot of knowledge."
"The solution isn't too stable; the fundamentals of it make it difficult to use."
"One area that can be improved, when compared to alternative tools, is that they could provide different reporting options and in different formats like PDF or something like that."
"Currently, the scanning is only available in the full version of Burp, and not in the Community version."
"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."
"If your application uses multi-factor authentication, registration management cannot be automated."
