Enables time-saving automated scanning and brute force attacks
The most appreciated functionality of PortSwigger Burp Suite is its ability to perform brute force attacks automatically. Its automated scanning feature saves time. Additionally, using this tool provides significant security insights, making our testing process more efficient and comprehensive, leading to considerable time savings, which in turn translates to financial benefits.

Provides reliable applications security but needs better integration options
There are areas for improvements regarding false positives. Integration capabilities are lacking, as options for integrations with other tools such as SNOW, Jira, or other integration tools are not sufficient in Rapid7 InsightAppSec. The user interface sometimes has glitches, which may prevent appropriate results during navigation, and even when we get appropriate results, it can be impossible to export them to CSV records or download files. Regarding scalability, Rapid7 InsightAppSec is not a scalable solution for our industry due to limited integration capabilities. Rapid7 relies on another tool called InsightConnect, which requires additional investment, detracting from scalability. Another area that needs improvement is the integration of AI capabilities into the platform. Both Rapid7 InsightAppSec and InsightVM need to advance in that area. In terms of behavioral and pattern recognition, identifying complex attacks such as SQL, blind SQL, JSON, and LDAP injections often results in 94% false positives. This necessitates improvement in their behavioral-based analytics feature.

Pros

"The product is easy to use."

"The most appreciated functionality of PortSwigger Burp Suite is its ability to perform brute force attacks automatically."
"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Its automated scanning feature saves time."
"The product’s most valuable feature is UI. It is easy to manage and find vulnerabilities in the application."
"You have various attack modules, and you also have the Attack Replay feature for the attack sequence. You can reproduce an attack and see it. That is a very good feature I noticed in this solution. It helps developers as well."
"I would rate the technical support from Rapid7 a ten, indicating high-quality support."
"It is a very robust solution."
"Relatively speaking, InsightAppSec is good compared to Insight VM."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the graphical interface."
"In Rapid7 InsightAppSec, a distinctive feature is the provision of a CDM for integrating web servers and web applications. To establish the connection between these applications, you only need to paste the provided CDN into your metadata. Once connected, every piece of information, including vulnerabilities, can be accessed. It also offers demo sessions."
"Rapid7 InsightAppSec helps us in both regulatory compliance and in strengthening our security posture."
 

Cons

"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."
"From my personal experience, the solution's performance could be improved."
"The product needs to have the ability to evaluate more."
"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based."
"The stability of the scans could be improved."

"The solution is a bit expensive."
"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."
"In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing."
"Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement in detecting phishing pages."
"The reporting is definitely an aspect of the solution that's in need of some work. We found that we'd try to use widgets, but often getting them to work for us wasn't very clear. They need to be more user friendly or offer better instructions."
"We get a lot of false positives during the tests."
"They should add more features. I would like to see them do a little more on static analysis and also interactivity analysis. Currently, it does very basic static analysis. It could do a little more static analysis, which is something that would help. A lot more interactivity analysis should also be there. It should basically look at security during interactivity."
"The only concern I have with Rapid7 is that it does not provide enough information about vulnerabilities within AppSec."
"Currently, InsightAppSec lacks similar functionality. Customers must wait for remediation during the developers' preparation of a new version."
"I would like more details of what the product can do."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For Professional, it's about $400 per year."

"Rapid7 InsightAppSec is cheap."
"They offer a good price, but I don't remember its cost. It is fair as compared to the competition. We have opted for project-based licensing, not user-based. We can add any number of users. That doesn't matter. It is worth the money."
"I rate Rapid7 InsightAppSec’s pricing an eight out of ten."
