Offers efficient scanning of entire websites but presence of false positive bugs, leading to time-consuming efforts in distinguishing real bugs from false alarms

We have found that so many times, false positive bugs are there, and then we spend a lot of time basically separating them from real bugs. So that's the reason we are looking for some other tool. So we were in discussion with Acunetix. Therefore, the false positive rate is, like, something that we would like to improve. What we are looking for is if this false positive rate goes down because we were OWASP Zap tool users, which was free anyway. But there were a lot of false positives there, and we used to spend a lot of time, like, for security reasons, reproducing those bugs for the development team to fix it. So then we thought, okay, why not we go with the tool? Even if it is not very expensive. But still, every year, we have to renew the license. And we got this tool. Again, we found that in this tool also, even if it is less, there are still a lot of false positive bugs out there. So we again have to spend so much time. So we hired a security tester, who was basically using Acunetix in his previous company for almost three years, and then you said that in that scanning is very slow. The scanning is also slow. Like, sometimes the site scan takes eight hours, six to eight hours. Yeah. And whereas in Acunetix, it took three to four hours. And plus, there are no false positives. I'm not saying none but there's very little. But here, the rate sometimes is very high. These are the two features I think we would like to improve further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."

"I have found this solution has more plugins than other competitors which is a benefit. You are able to attach different plugins to the security scan to add features. For example, you can check to see if there are any payment systems that exist on a server, or username and password brute force analysis."

"The active scanner, which does an automated search of any web vulnerabilities."

"The initial setup is simple."

"The automated scan is what I find most useful because a lot of customers will need it. Not every domain will be looking for complete security, they just need a stamp on the security key. For these kinds of customers, the scan works really well."

"Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."

"It is useful for scanning and tracing activities."

"The solution is quite helpful for session management and configuration."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite does not hamper the node of the server, and it does not shut down the server if it is running."

"It would be beneficial to have privileged access management as a part of Burp Suite Professional."

"There should be a heads up display like the one available in OWASP Zap."

"I need the solution to be more user-friendly. The solution needs to be user-friendly."

"The use of system memory is an area that can be improved because it uses a lot."

"The solution lacks sufficient stability."

"I would like to see a more optimized solution, as it currently uses a lot of CPU power and memory."

"There needs to be better documentation provided. Currently, we need to buy books, or we need to review online some use cases from other professionals who have been using the solution to find out their experience. It is not easy to find out how to properly do a security assessment."
