Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Polyspace Code Prover is a very user-friendly tool."
"Polyspace Code Prover has made me realize it differs from other static code analysis tools because it runs the code. So it's quite distinct in that aspect."
"The product detects memory corruptions."
"When we work on safety modules, it is mandatory to fulfill ISO 26262 compliance. Using Prover helps fulfill the standard on top of many other quality checks, like division by zero, data type casts, and null pointer dereferences."
"The outputs are very reliable."
"The solution helped us discover vulnerabilities in our applications."
"It's good testing software."
"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."
"With the Extender Tab, if you know how to code then you can create a plugin and add it to Burp."
"This tool is more accurate than the other solutions that we use, and reports fewer false positives."
"The most valuable feature of PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is the dashboard. It is very informative and you can receive all the information you need in one place. It's clear, well-defined, and organized. Anybody without any cybersecurity can use it."
"The most valuable features are Burp Intruder and Burp Scanner."
"I have found the best features to be the performance and there are a lot of additional plugins available."
 

Cons

"Automation could be a challenge."
"Using Code Prover on large applications crashes sometimes."
"I'd like the data to be taken from any format."
"One of the main disadvantages is the time it takes to initiate the first run."
"The tool has some stability issues."
"The solution doesn't offer very good scalability."
"If your application uses multi-factor authentication, registration management cannot be automated."
"The Auto Scanning features should be updated more frequently and should include the latest attack vectors."
"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 biggest improvement that I would like to see from PortSwigger that today many people see as an issue in their testing. There might be a feature which might be desired."
"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."
"The price could be better. The rest is fine."
"A lot of our interns find it difficult to get used to PortSwigger Burp's environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are different licenses available that include a free version."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is an expensive solution."
"Burp Suite is affordable."
"Pricing is not very high. It was around $200."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is expensive compared to other tools."
"The cost is approximately $500 for a single license, and there are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is an expensive solution."
