Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 4, 2024

Tenable Vulnerability Management and PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition compete in the security management category. Tenable appears to have the upper hand due to its infrastructure management capabilities and comprehensive database.

Features: Tenable offers integration, container scanning, and cloud asset visibility. PortSwigger provides a comprehensive feature set, ease of use, and CI/CD integration.

Room for Improvement: Tenable needs better dashboard customization, reporting, and support for smaller businesses. PortSwigger should address false positives, enhance scanning stability, and improve its interface.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Tenable allows flexible deployment across various cloud environments but could improve customer support responsiveness. PortSwigger is primarily on-premises, lacking cloud adaptability, and its support could be more streamlined.

Pricing and ROI: Tenable is considered expensive for smaller businesses but offers good ROI. PortSwigger also has higher costs but provides a more affordable professional license option. Both products indicate positive ROI through enhanced security management, with a need for pricing adjustments.

Cyber security enthusiast at a university with 51-200 employees

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.

Mani Bommisetty

Infrastructure patching Manager at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Streamlines vulnerability management with excellent reporting and potential AI integration

Tenable is user-friendly and excels in reporting. It allows me to easily fetch and schedule reports. The software's discovery feature aids in strengthening our security posture. The single-sensor installation process on various operating systems is smooth, unlike Rapid7, which requires different versions for separate systems. Furthermore, Tenable enables vulnerability management through potential AI integration that consolidates efforts and resolves multiple vulnerabilities simultaneously.

Cons

"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."

"Scalability could be better."

"The solution is a bit expensive."

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

"There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition should incorporate a static code analysis feature. One main issue we encounter is false positives. False positives can be challenging for developers."

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

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition cons

"The solution is a bit slow."

"More flexibility is required compared to other solutions."

"t needs additional reporting and intelligence features, as well as enhancements in AI-driven detection, which is still in its early stages."

"Users get confused between VPR and CVSS ratings."

"I'd like to see them improve their support."

"It's not a user-friendly tool since it has a complicated interface."

"It can have more integration."

"They've been able to think about everything in terms of where the world is going and the type of assets that you've got. They've everything sorted out in that aspect, but you have to pay for most of the other components that they've got to give you complete visibility across your tech surface. If it already had those capabilities in-built, without having to add them on to take advantage of them, it would be a very compelling value proposition."
