Offers efficient scanning of entire websites but presence of false positive bugs, leading to time-consuming efforts in distinguishing real bugs from false alarms
We have found that so many times, false positive bugs are there, and then we spend a lot of time basically separating them from real bugs. So that's the reason we are looking for some other tool. So we were in discussion with Acunetix. Therefore, the false positive rate is, like, something that we would like to improve. What we are looking for is if this false positive rate goes down because we were OWASP Zap tool users, which was free anyway. But there were a lot of false positives there, and we used to spend a lot of time, like, for security reasons, reproducing those bugs for the development team to fix it. So then we thought, okay, why not we go with the tool? Even if it is not very expensive. But still, every year, we have to renew the license. And we got this tool. Again, we found that in this tool also, even if it is less, there are still a lot of false positive bugs out there. So we again have to spend so much time. So we hired a security tester, who was basically using Acunetix in his previous company for almost three years, and then you said that in that scanning is very slow. The scanning is also slow. Like, sometimes the site scan takes eight hours, six to eight hours. Yeah. And whereas in Acunetix, it took three to four hours. And plus, there are no false positives. I'm not saying none but there's very little. But here, the rate sometimes is very high. These are the two features I think we would like to improve further.

Cons

"As with most automated security tools, too many false positives."
"There should be a heads up display like the one available in OWASP Zap."
"The Iran market does not have after-sales support. PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional needs to provide after-sales support."
"I am from Brazil. The currency exchange rate from a dollar to a Brazilian Real is quite steep. It is almost six to one. It would be good if it can be sold in the local currency, and its price is cheaper for us."
"It would be beneficial to have privileged access management as a part of Burp Suite Professional."

"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
