Chose PortSwigger Burp Suite
In addition to PortSwigger Burp Suite, I have evaluated other web application security tools like OWASP ZAP, Acunetix, and Nessus. While Nessus is excellent for network and infrastructure vulnerability scanning, it lacks the deep, interactive web application testing features …
Chose PortSwigger Burp Suite
OWASP ZAP is ok, but is open source. I find that PortSwigger Burp Suite is a more feature rich application and continues to come out with new features. PortSwigger Burp Suite also has a much bigger ecosystem for integrations making it worth the price. I feel OWASP ZAP is more …
Chose PortSwigger Burp Suite
Burp was getting us more accurate results. This doesn't mean that the other tools are bad. They just didn't suit our company. Since our products had many business logic bases testing requirements, it was hard for other tools to perform. Burp on the other had worked perfectly …
Chose PortSwigger Burp Suite
Each tool is specific and are good for what they do. While Burp Suite can perform some level of the same functions, somehow security consultants prefer these tools as additional to the Burp Suite. Maybe due to open source and easy setup when compared to Burp Suite. But Burp …
Chose PortSwigger Burp Suite
The only other tool I use that works like Burp Suite is the OWASP ZAP. It works a lot like Burp but just has a different layout. I prefer how Burp has the tabs for Repeater, Intruder, Decoder, ect.
Chose PortSwigger Burp Suite
These tools are used in conjunction with BurpSuite and help improvising the security drill.
Chose PortSwigger Burp Suite
We used Zap by OWASP as well. Zap is not as mature, however, it explained a lot of the scan results better, but was far more difficult to setup for custom applications. Scanning requests and altering headers in Zap was simply not as easy or visually explained as in Burp.
Chose PortSwigger Burp Suite
Burp Suite stacks up fairly well against these other two products both of which are quite expensive to license. The best other product I would suggest is OWASP Zed Attack Proxy or ZAP. It performs quite well and the cost of the product is free. ZAP is an Open Source product. …
Chose PortSwigger Burp Suite
Burp Suite is more difficult to master, but only because of the extensive functionality and customization options. It is much more affordable than its competition and deserves its recognition as a top tool in the industry.

PortSwigger Web Security
Burp Suite is a good general tool to test websites as long as your website is not too large or you have the time for it to complete. We have some websites that only about five to ten minutes for Burp Suite to complete an attack and a spider only takes about two minutes. Other websites have taken a few hours to complete. I have seen a tester actually run Burp Suite against one of our websites and it took all day to complete.

Pros
PortSwigger Web Security
  • The passive scan feature is really awesome, it kind of covers areas that you might miss.
  • The CSRF POC is really helpful to my team. It helps development team see the issue and understand it.
  • Burp intruder and repeater are the features I myself and my team uses the most as it helps us use our payloads in a variety of different ways.
  • Active scan helps the team to ensure coverage for the whole application.

Cons
PortSwigger Web Security
  • The interface is a big problem: No matter how many features a software provides you, if the features are not well presented, you will miss most of them when they are actually required. The presentation of the software should be improvised and made more presentable.
  • Tutorial videos for beginners: This software lacks a lot in tutorials. A beginner almost wastes most of the time in finding and understanding the features and the implementation of the same. The software vendor should work on providing more in-depth videos so that people can learn and understand the concepts.

Usability
PortSwigger Web Security
The workflow between features like Proxy, Scanner, Intruder, and Repeater feels seamless, making it easy to intercept, manipulate, and analyze web traffic. Despite its advanced capabilities, the tool remains accessible and flexible, which significantly speeds up testing without overwhelming the user.

BurpSuite does not have an amazing customer support. All the major help that you will find is from public forums and Google. Although you will find all the required information on Google, still at time professional support helps you solve the problem in much less time and make your operations go smoothly.

Each tool is specific and are good for what they do. While Burp Suite can perform some level of the same functions, somehow security consultants prefer these tools as additional to the Burp Suite. Maybe due to open source and easy setup when compared to Burp Suite. But Burp Suite allows for one tool for many templates for each project.

Return on Investment
PortSwigger Web Security
  • Scanned 100% of the orgs public facing web sites with a small team of analysts.
  • Provided a reputable second opinion source to back up the other product in use i.e. Webinspect.
  • Pro version $350 is amazing ROI, considering the thwarted attacks and that it's competition is priced in the tens of thousands last I checked.
  • No successful hacks. Q.E.D. :-)
