Effective scanning of diverse file extensions with fast reporting and issue resolution
We develop software packages for clients, and these clients are mostly in the BFSI sector. The packages need to be scanned, and we engage Fortify WebInspect for this.  Customers typically perform their own application pen tests, but in some cases, we have engagements where customers want us to scan…
Mustufa Bhavnagarwala - PeerSpot reviewer
With a super easy initial setup phase, the tool also offers regular updates
PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition's new features released in the last two years are really good, so I won't say that I am not looking at any new features. The product's latest feature, which was really good, but had an issue since it allowed us in our company to put the proxy in the browser and then connect it with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition to get the calls resolved with the help of setup allowing for browser features inside PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition. I want PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition to be available on the cloud, though my concerns stem from the fact that I don't know how an application hosted on the cloud can do a proxy for an application. I can't recall what needs to be added to the solution to make it better, but I have seen that when I use the product, I feel that the tool needs to have a few elements added to it. The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."
"The feature that has been most influential in identifying vulnerabilities is its ability to crawl the website, understand the structure, and analyze the network packets sent and received."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to make our customers more secure."
"The solution's technical support was very helpful."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."
"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
"Fortify WebInspect is a scalable solution, it is good for a lot of applications."
"The solution's extensions really expand the capabilities and features offered by the installation."
"Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."
"The most appreciated functionality of PortSwigger Burp Suite is its ability to perform brute force attacks automatically."
"The most valuable part of it was probably the ability to intercept and modify calls."
"The product is easy to use."
"The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI."
"We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."
"This tool helps identify vulnerabilities. We then provide the report to the developers, who address the issues identified automatically. Its most valuable feature is CI/CD integration."
 

Cons

"There are some file extensions, like .SER, that Fortify WebInspect doesn't scan."
"It requires improvement in terms of scanning. The application scan heavily utilizes the resources of an on-premise server. 32 GB RAM is very high for an enterprise web application."
"The scanner could be better."
"It took us between eight and ten hours to scan an entire site, which is somewhat slow and something that I think can be improved."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
"Fortify WebInspect could improve user-friendliness. Additionally, it is very bulky to use."
"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."
"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."
"It would be beneficial if Burp Suite provided predefined payloads for each attack category, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, to automate some tasks more effectively."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition should incorporate a static code analysis feature. One main issue we encounter is false positives. False positives can be challenging for developers."
"From my personal experience, the solution's performance could be improved."
"Scalability could be better."
"There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives."
"The stability of the scans could be improved."
"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."
"This solution is very expensive."
"The price is okay."
"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."
"It’s a fair price for the solution."
"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."
"Its price is almost similar to the price of AppScan. Both of them are very costly. Its price could be reduced because it can be very costly for unlimited IT scans, etc. I'm not sure, but it can go up to $40,000 to $50,000 or more than that."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable and costs around 400 dollars per year."
"For Professional, it's about $400 per year."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is neither a cheap nor an expensive product. PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is a good tool for companies."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition is expensive compared to other solutions."
"Although the solution can be a bit expensive for small companies, its pricing is fairly reasonable for its capabilities."
