Pros
"The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs.""The initial setup is straightforward.""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 product is easy to use.""The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI.""The product's initial setup phase was super easy.""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."

"There are fewer false positives when using this solution.""It gives a very good overview of the inventory assessment process, and it can be accessed across our company because it's a global tool.""The initial setup is straightforward.""It's stable and quite reliable.""Intuitive and easy to use.""The features that are most valuable are the identification, scan features, and the identification of vulnerabilities.""This solution gives us insight into our environment and improves our security. It helps us to maintain a good patching system whereby we know that XYZ is vulnerable within the system.""Performs automated, regular scans in the network."

Cons
"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.""The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing.""From my personal experience, the solution's performance could be improved.""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 solution is a bit expensive.""The stability of the scans could be improved.""The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier.""There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition Cons →

"Its integration with ServiceNow and other similar products is complicated and can be improved. It should also have virtual batching. They should support more standards and compliance requirements and more customizations. For policy compliance, they can add the standards required by the countries in the Middle East. Each country generates its own standards and frameworks, and those frameworks should be there in all products, not only in Qualys. The market here is huge, especially in the cybersecurity field. Qatar has a framework for Qatar 2022, and each and every company in the public or private sector has to follow the Qatar 2022 framework.""The price could be better. Asset view is still a legacy feature. I'm not able to extract the information about the asset with complete details. It would be better if they fixed that in the next release. I know Qualys is already working on it, so I'm hopeful it will be available in the next five or six months. That would be something that's changed where I seek improvement.""They should make it accessible for more operating systems.""When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself.""Qualys VM's machine learning and artificial intelligence features could be improved.""There seems to be a lack of easy onboarding into Qualys.""Make some minimal dashboard improvements.""The reporting and dashboards could improve in Qualys VM. However, they have improved since the previous versions."
