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 the best features to be the performance and there are a lot of additional plugins available."

"You can scan any number of applications and it updates its database."

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

"With the Extender Tab, if you know how to code then you can create a plugin and add it to Burp."

"The solution has a great user interface."

"The most valuable feature of Burp Suite Professional is its ability to schedule tasks for scanning websites, which helps in performing regular checks of IP addresses."

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

"The Spider is the most useful feature. It helps to analyze the entire web application, and it finds all the passes and offers an automated identification of security issues."

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."

"The biggest drawback is reporting. It's not so good. I can download them, but they're not so informative."

"Sometimes the solution can run a little slow."

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

"There could be an improvement in the API security testing. There is another tool called Postman and if we had a built-in portal similar to Postman which captures the API, we would be able to generate the API traffic. Right now we need a Postman tool and the Burp Suite for performing API tests. It would be a huge benefit to be able to do it in a single UI."

"The solution doesn't offer very good scalability."

"BurpSuite has some issues regarding authentication with OAT tokens that need to be improved."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"Currently, the scanning is only available in the full version of Burp, and not in the Community version."
