Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Attacking feature: Actually, attacking is not a solo feature. It contains many attack engines, Hawk, and many properties. But Netsparker's attacking mechanism is very flexible. This increases the vulnerability detection rate. Also, Netsparker made the Hawk for real-time interactive command-line-based exploit testing. It's very valuable for a vulnerability scanner."

"The scanner is light on the network and does not impact the network when scans are running."

"Netsparker provides a more interactive interface that is more appealing."

"Scan, proxify the application, and then detailed report along with evidence and remediations to problems."

"The dashboard is really cool, and the features are really good. It tells you about the software version you're using in your web application. It gives you the entire technology stack, and that really helps. Both web and desktop apps are good in terms of application scanning. It has a lot of security checks that are easily customizable as per your requirements. It also has good customer support."

"Netsparker has valuable features, including the ability to scan our website, an interactive approach, and security data integration."

"The solution generates reports automatically and quickly."

"Invicti's best feature is the ability to identify vulnerabilities and manually verify them."

More Invicti pros

"The solution scans web applications and supports APIs, which are the main features I really like."

"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the dashboard. It is very informative and you can receive all the information you need in one place. It's clear, well-defined, and organized. Anybody without any cybersecurity can use it."

"The active scanner, which does an automated search of any web vulnerabilities."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is one of the best user-friendly solutions for getting the proxy set up."

"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."

"There is no other tool like it. I like the intuitiveness and the plugins that are available."

"The way they do the research and they keep their profile up to date is great. They identify vulnerabilities and update them immediately."

"This solution has helped a lot in finding bugs and vulnerabilities, and the scanner is good enough for simple web apps."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional pros

Cons

"The custom attack preparation screen might be improved."

"The solution needs to make a more specific report."

"The licensing model should be improved to be more cost-effective. There are URL restrictions that consume our license. Compared to other DAST solutions and task tools like WebInspect and Burp Enterprise, Invicti is very expensive. The solution’s scanning time is also very long compared to other DAST tools. It might be due to proof-based scanning."

"Asset scanning could be better. Once, it couldn't scan assets, and the issue was strange. The price doesn't fit the budget of small and medium-sized businesses."

"It would be better for listing and attacking Java-based web applications to exploit vulnerabilities."

"The license could be better. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license. It's a major hindrance that we are facing while scanning applications, and we have to be sure that the URLs are the same and not different so that we do not end up consuming another license for it. Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. The licensing is tied to the URL, and it's restricted. If you have a URL that you scanned once, like a website, you cannot retry that same license. If you are scanning the same website but in a different domain or different URL, you might end up paying for a second license. It would also be better if they provided proper support for multi-factor authentications. In the next release, I would like them to include good multi-factor authentication support."

"Invicti's reporting capabilities need enhancement."

"Right now, they are missing the static application security part, especially web application security."

More Invicti cons

"The biggest drawback is reporting. It's not so good. I can download them, but they're not so informative."

"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."

"I would like to see a more optimized solution, as it currently uses a lot of CPU power and memory."

"The scanner and crawler need to be improved."

"BurpSuite has some issues regarding authentication with OAT tokens that need to be improved."

"A lot of our interns find it difficult to get used to PortSwigger Burp's environment."

"The solution is not easy to set it up. You need a lot of knowledge."

"Currently, the scanning is only available in the full version of Burp, and not in the Community version."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Netsparker is one of the costliest products in the market. It would help if they could allow us to scan multiple URLs on the same license."

"The price should be 20% lower"

"It is competitive in the security market."

"We never had any issues with the licensing; the price was within our assigned limits."

"OWASP Zap is free and it has live updates, so that's a big plus."

"The solution is very expensive. It comes with a yearly subscription. We were paying 6000 dollars yearly for unlimited scans. We have three licenses; basic, business, and ultimate. We need ultimate because it has unlimited scan numbers."

"Invicti is best suited for large enterprises. I don't think small and medium-sized businesses can afford it. Maintenance costs aren't that great."

"I think that price it too high, like other Security applications such as Acunetix, WebInspect, and so on."

More Invicti pricing and cost advice

"PortSwigger is a bit expensive."

"We are using the community version, which is free."

"The price for the solution is expensive and could be cheaper. We pay an annual license and our team has several of them."

"The solution used to be expensive. However, they have reduced the price to approximately $400.00 which is reasonable."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is expensive compared to other tools."

"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 yearly cost is about $300."

"This is a value for money product."
