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.

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

"Its automated scanning feature saves time."

"I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments."

"The solution's extensions really expand the capabilities and features offered by the installation."

"The most valuable part of it was probably the ability to intercept and modify calls."

"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."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."

"Parallel scans can be done with PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the graphical interface."

"Relatively speaking, InsightAppSec is good compared to Insight VM."

"The product’s most valuable feature is UI. It is easy to manage and find vulnerabilities in the application."

"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."

"I would rate the technical support from Rapid7 a ten, indicating high-quality support."

"It uses a signature-based method to check for problems with your code and will provide an alert if anything is found."

"The reporting functionality is excellent."

"The templates feature is very easy. You just choose the kind of attack you want on your web application, and you run it against that template and receive a report. It's great."

Cons

"Scalability could be better."

"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."

"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."

"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."

"The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing."

"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."

"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based."

"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."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition cons

"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."

"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."

"Currently, InsightAppSec lacks similar functionality. Customers must wait for remediation during the developers' preparation of a new version."

"When you add new projects for the same product, it either duplicates or replaces the scan configuration. If I run a scan for the same product with a different scan configuration, it should keep the previous scan configuration and not replace it with the new scan configuration. It should just add the new scan configuration. That would be helpful. They do keep the results as it is, but the scan configuration keeps changing. For example, I have set a scan configuration to a full scan, and next week, I want to run a new scan for the same product with some changes or new functionalities. I want to run a partial scan. Currently, if I change the scan configuration to partial, it changes the old one also to partial. That should be improved."

"The interface should be a little bit easier to manage. Sometimes, the logic that they use is kind of strange. They need to work a little bit more on their interface to make it more understandable. The interface is the only problem. I'm using Rapid7, which is very intuitive. There are other applications available in the market with a better interface. They can include more techniques or options to test different types of security because the templates are limited. It would be great to see them follow the MITRE ATT&CK framework or what is there in tools like Veracode and Synopsys."

"The reporting feature of Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement as it currently provides basic reports."

"The only concern I have with Rapid7 is that it does not provide enough information about vulnerabilities within AppSec."

"There is room for improvement in the response time of customer service and support levels."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The tool's pricing is reasonable and costs around 400 dollars per year."

"Although the solution can be a bit expensive for small companies, its pricing is fairly reasonable for its capabilities."

"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."

"Rapid7 InsightAppSec is cheap."

"Its price is competitive. It is not expensive."

"I rate Rapid7 InsightAppSec’s pricing an eight out of ten."

"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."

"The price of this product is very cheap."

"I'm not sure how much it costs exactly, but I know it's expensive."
