    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.

    Best suited to smaller unit test or tests broken up, couple of forms at a time Not suited - larger regressions test involving multiple systems. - my main regression involving payments has been unsuccessful for the last 3 years despite all working fine separately and while being watched

    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.

    • Identifying UI objects and application structure
    • Expandability of tests through scripts and script extensions/plugins
    • low barrier of entry (you can get started quickly, and other's don't need much explanation to contribute on a basic level)
    • Possibility of Jira integration for reporting
    • Relatively few (and usually easy to solve) git conflicts when working simultaneously
    • easy handling of test data, also for iterative tests

    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.

    • TestComplete could stand to have a simplified view for different types of users. For instance, as a manager/architecture guy, I'm not so interested in getting into the code and am more interested in file-based interactions.
    • TestComplete could use more integration with reporting for things like TeamCity to improve test status visibility.

    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.

    It is usable when you become accustomed to its quirks. Not using it for two months and then you need to re-learn the quirks for some features (but some quirks are so awful that they will never fade from your memory). So, when using it regularly, it is possible to be quite productive, if no big correction in name mapping is needed.

    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.

    Some bugs were quickly resolved, but most UX quirks of the tool are just marked "as designed". No follow up for enhancement request.

    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.

    TestComplete stacks up against them in terms of GUI and seamless performance. It records each and every step and action been performed in the application and produces a detailed report in a well-structured manner. It can connect and access seamlessly among various databases directly to speed up the testing process.

    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. :-)

    • Saves hundreds of man-hours with either QA testing or data entry
    • With the small cost of the product, it has saved the company money with both employee costs as well as the cost of mistakes made by human error or software bugs
