Featured Reviews

Richard Marlow - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides good features and helps monitor the status of ransomware protection in an organization
The tool is quite scalable. There's a one-to-one relationship between the engine and how many scans we can do. We can only do one scan with one engine. We had some issues around the password assessments because we added a lot of users. It took a long time. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten. We have three users in our organization.
Iwegbue Godspower Isioma - PeerSpot reviewer
A seamless and easy-to-use solution that enables organizations to conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration testing
I recommend the solution to others. We can run SQL injection in Burp Suite Community Edition but not scan the websites. We would need Burp Suite Professional for it. We can use the solution to scan web applications and escalate vulnerabilities. We can do penetration testing on the vulnerabilities that are detected on the web application. The tool also provides other features that we can use to simulate attacks for learning purposes. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
