Featured Reviews

Hasan Abufreiha - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Israel Cavazos Landini - PeerSpot reviewer
Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions
I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.
