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.

Vulnerability Management Lead at garrett
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable part is that a beginner can run those scans and the V scanning of that particular vulnerability."
"The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most appreciated functionality of PortSwigger Burp Suite is its ability to perform brute force attacks automatically."
"I would rate the technical support from Rapid7 a ten, indicating high-quality support."
"The solution is stable."
"Relatively speaking, InsightAppSec is good compared to Insight VM."
"If a company needs an effective product for web scanning, I can recommend this product."
"I rate stability ten out of ten."
"Dynamic application security scanning provides predefined templates and supports customization. The ability to scan external and internal applications, including on-premises ones, is precious. Additionally, it is a cloud platform, so we don't need to deploy servers or resources. This makes it time-efficient and cost-effective."
"Customers use the product for scanning purposes and do not want to be restricted with respect to the number of scans they perform."
"It is very convenient to get reports from the tool, which offers high-level environmental statistics."
 

Cons

"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 product needs to have the ability to evaluate more."
"It's not a stable product. Sometimes, it takes a lot of time to scan."
"The stability is a big issue. So many times the scans fail."
"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 implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."
"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based."
"The dynamic scanning feature has simplified and improved the security testing process. I suggest adding a SaaS feature to the solution to support scanning SaaS applications, making it more comprehensive. It would be beneficial if the solution could also scan mobile applications. It only scans web applications and should also cover mobile applications, including firmware recommendations."
"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."
"The performance can be improved."
"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 technical support from Rapid7 is not bad, but the response time can be quite slow sometimes."
"Customers sometimes experience issues with performance."
"Currently, InsightAppSec lacks similar functionality. Customers must wait for remediation during the developers' preparation of a new version."
"We'd like to see integrations with WAF solutions."

"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."
