Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Static Application Security Testing (SAST)."You can scan any number of applications and it updates its database."
"We use the solution for vulnerability assessment in respect of the application and the sites."
""The product is very good just the way it is; It has everything already well established and functions great. I can't see any way for this current version to be improved.""
"For pentesting scenarios, this is the number one tool. It can capture the request, and there are so many functions that are very good for that. For example, a black box satellite host."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the advanced features, user-friendly interface, and integration with other tools."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite does not hamper the node of the server, and it does not shut down the server if it is running."
"The most valuable feature is the application security. It also has a reasonable price."
"It helps in API testing, where manual intervention was previously necessary for each payload."
"A significant advantage of Seeker is that it is an interactive scanner, and we have found it to be much more effective in reducing the amount of false positives than dynamic scanners such as AppScan, Micro Focus Fortify, etc. Furthermore, with Seeker, we are finding more and more valid (i.e. "true") positives over time compared with the dynamic scanners."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"I would like to see the return of the spider mechanism instead of the crawling feature. Burp Suite's earlier version 1.7 had an excellent spider option, and it would be beneficial if Burp incorporated those features into the current version. The crawling techniques used in the current version are not as efficient as those used in earlier versions."
"The scanner and crawler need to be improved."
"There is not much automation in the tool."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high."
"The Auto Scanning features should be updated more frequently and should include the latest attack vectors."
"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."
"The tool is very expensive."
"One area that Seeker can improve is to make it more customizable. All security scanning tools have a defined set of rules that are based on certain criteria which they will use to detect issues. However, the criteria that you set initially is not something that all applications are going to need."
