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.

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.

Offers risk prioritization , notification system but support should be bundled with the product cost

It's a fantastic product, but there are some things to consider. One is the price. Compared to on-prem solutions, the SaaS model can be expensive. Price is definitely a concern and needs improvement, especially for the Indian market. While it's a fantastic product, it should be more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Currently, only larger enterprises seem to be able to afford and evaluate it thoroughly. So, pricing can be improved and be more affordable for the Indian market, specifically for SMBs. Another area of improvement is customer service and support. Tenable needs to include support in the pricing/license. Currently, they push clients to get support from partners or channel distributors, who often charge a lot. Even for a simple one-time setup, they may charge three to four lakhs, and then additional annual charges for ongoing support. We have the technical skills to handle basic tasks, but relying on Tenable itself often results in just receiving emails or being redirected back to channel partners. So, support should be bundled with the product cost.
