Used for web application auditing and security audits for web applications

I would advise users to limit Burp Suite usage to specific scenarios and applications. Users should use the solution as an expert testing tool instead of using it as a general scanner or for information gathering in general. The tool might be overwhelming initially for new users, but it will be easy after you get used to the UI, features, and options. PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition has been doing an amazing job for years compared to other similar tools. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Automated authorization streamlines security processes

The previous product, AppSpyder, had a virtual patching module where we could generate patches for third-party web application firewalls, such as Imperva or F5. Currently, InsightAppSec lacks similar functionality. Customers must wait for remediation during the developers' preparation of a new version. Virtual patching could help protect web pages shortly after finishing the scan process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time."

"The most appreciated functionality of PortSwigger Burp Suite is its ability to perform brute force attacks automatically."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments."

"This tool helps identify vulnerabilities. We then provide the report to the developers, who address the issues identified automatically. Its most valuable feature is CI/CD integration."

"The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI."

"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."

"Its automated scanning feature saves time."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition pros

"We have seen measurable decrease in the mean time to respond to threats by 20 percent."

"When considering DAST, it is not attributed to a singular feature but rather the capabilities of the engine that provides a genuine penetration testing experience and delivers insightful reports."

"The initial setup for us was easy enough. We didn't face too many issues. Deployment took maybe 30 minutes. It's quite quick and doesn't cause too much trouble at the outset."

"The templates feature is very easy. You just choose the kind of attack you want on your web application, and you run it against that template and receive a report. It's great."

"The automatic automation of the automated authorization to the SCANNET environment is valuable."

"It's very easy to use and user-friendly. It does the job."

"Relatively speaking, InsightAppSec is good compared to Insight VM."

"Dynamic application security scanning provides predefined templates and supports customization. The ability to scan external and internal applications, including on-premises ones, is precious. Additionally, it is a cloud platform, so we don't need to deploy servers or resources. This makes it time-efficient and cost-effective."

Cons

"The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."

"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings."

"It would be better if the solution is cloud-based."

"It would be beneficial if Burp Suite provided predefined payloads for each attack category, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, to automate some tasks more effectively."

"The stability of the scans could be improved."

"The solution is a bit expensive."

"The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing."

"Scalability could be better."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition cons

"The reporting feature of Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement as it currently provides basic reports."

"We'd like to see integrations with WAF solutions."

"In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing."

"We get a lot of false positives during the tests."

"There is room for improvement in Rapid7 InsightAppSec by giving clients the ability for extra columns on reports and enabling the extraction of remediation reports into a CSV format. Currently, the PDF format is cumbersome to go through when dealing with thousands of pages."

"The product’s pricing could be flexible."

"When you add new projects for the same product, it either duplicates or replaces the scan configuration. If I run a scan for the same product with a different scan configuration, it should keep the previous scan configuration and not replace it with the new scan configuration. It should just add the new scan configuration. That would be helpful. They do keep the results as it is, but the scan configuration keeps changing. For example, I have set a scan configuration to a full scan, and next week, I want to run a new scan for the same product with some changes or new functionalities. I want to run a partial scan. Currently, if I change the scan configuration to partial, it changes the old one also to partial. That should be improved."

"I required a solution to manage on-premises, but I was not as satisfied as expected."

"Although the solution can be a bit expensive for small companies, its pricing is fairly reasonable for its capabilities."

"The price of this product is very cheap."

"I'm not sure how much it costs exactly, but I know it's expensive."

"I rate Rapid7 InsightAppSec’s pricing an eight out of ten."

"They offer a good price, but I don't remember its cost. It is fair as compared to the competition. We have opted for project-based licensing, not user-based. We can add any number of users. That doesn't matter. It is worth the money."

"Its price is competitive. It is not expensive."
