Our company has a set of security consultants who conducts penetration testing on all the products developed by our company on a regular basis. Being an enterprise product-based company, we have tried out many other scanning tools and ended up using burp which was the only one that helped our consultants to come up with valid and relevant bugs.
- 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.
- Reporting area is a weak area that we have identified with Burp.
- DevsecOps integration is something I am really curious about...
- The user interface can be considered to make more improvements.
Burp Suite is used by my security consultants to perform security assessments and reviews for the organization's applications. It is commonly used across the entire organization, by different groups and teams. The security consultants used the suite to perform their security assessments as well as for training for new hires.
- Manual penetration testing and configuration tweaks
- Automated bulk scanning and simulated scenarios
- Reports generations for mgt as well as working levels
- More features to be available for the free/community version to allow more learning
- Manual updating of plugin without network connectivity
- More controls with the manual testing with scenario inputs

Burp is really all you need
Working in application security, I use Burp Suite to proxy my internet traffic for inspection and manipulation to help test for security vulnerabilities. The other tool that comes to mind is OWASP ZAP, but overall Burp is generally considered to be the best tool out there for application security testers.
- Fuzzing requests for vulnerabilities
- Intercepting requests
- Great extensions through the store that extend functionality
- Personally I have more trouble than I should getting the scope set just how I need it to filter out junk traffic like Google and Firefox background noise

Hack your applications before anyone else can using BurpSuite
BurpSuite is being used in our organization for performing penetration testing on internal as well as external-facing applications. It is a very light-weight tool which can be installed on almost any system (even legacy systems) and be utilized to exploit the applications. The software is being used by one of the departments within our organization which is working on the cybersecurity side. The application is not intended to be used by the whole organization since it contains malicious payloads which when deployed in the production department can bring the whole environment to a halt.
- Automated as well as manual testing can be performed form a single tool. Usually, in the industry, automated and manual tools are available but in different tools. However, BurpSuite is a master tool which can perform both of the tasks.
- Spidering feature: The spidering feature of BurpSuite is one of the most renowned features of this software. It contains an automated and manual process which completely scan a website end to end and shows you a flow chart which beautifully represents the entire workflow and all of this can be done on a click of automated spidering.
- Acts as an amazing proxy service: BurpSuite helps you proxy all the web-based requests which can even be modified when sent or received. Unlike other proxies, this proxy works without fail. So it is highly reliable.
- 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.

Best web app security testing tool on the market
Burp Suite is a web application security testing tool. As a security consultant, I have used Burp Suite for security testing for web applications of our clients and also for my own personal research.
- First of all, it is possible to carry out manual security tests of web applications and mobile applications using this tool. The advantage is that you can also securely test the vulnerabilities related to the business logic of these apps.
- It uses a local proxy, so it allows you to intercept the traffic of the applications to find vulnerabilities.
- Its also allows you to manipulate the attribute fields of intercepted traffic to find any flaws inside applications.
- Doesn't describe how to test different vulnerabilities, which can be challenging if you are a new user of this tool.
- The community edition provides a limited number of features compared to the professional edition. Since many researchers use the community edition for security testing, they should provide more features which would be helpful.

Burp is for Professionals, Not Quick Fixes
Our security department uses it, and I use it to test the security features of applications I develop. It solves the problem of needing a quick way of intercepting HTTP requests for our web apps and running routine scans.
- Inspection/altering of HTTPb requests/responses.
- The scans are fairly comprehensive and the application itself is very mature in this.
- The attack features are very nice and are enough so that I don't have to do everything from scratch to test out my code.
- Works great on a private network with no internet connection.
- Setup for proxies is cumbersome and took some time to get setup. There's a lot to be done outside of Burp itself for this to work.
- The interface is outdated and uses tabs for everything, can get lost in deep nested features if you're new
- The way CSRF scans find the vulnerabilities can be cryptic and takes time to find in the documentation. When we get a result we want more comprehensive information on why a scan succeeded, not just failed.

Burp Suite a good Security Testing Tool at a Good Price
Burp Suite is being used by the Web Software Security Team. It is fairly easy to use and can do much of the dynamic security testing (DAST) at the company. We have a company policy that all websites must go through a security review before they can be moved to production. Burp is one of the tools that we use to help in this process. I have found that Burp Suite can usually do the job required fairly quickly. It also produces a report that most of the developers can understand.
- Burp Suite is fairly quick to perform an attack on a website. I have found it very thorough for the time it takes to run an attack.
- Burp Suite can spider a website very quickly and it usually finds most of the web pages on a website. Once it has spidered a website, it allows you to not attack any page it found during the scan. This is very useful when there are certain parts of a website you do not want to attack.
- Burp Suite allow you easily log into a website as the first step in spidering and attacking. This is useful for us since most of our websites require a login before we can scan the internal pages of a website.
- Burp Suite is not a tool that a complete security novice will get much out of. You do need to know the basics of application security to be able to properly use the tool.
- Burp Suite can, at times, take a very long time to completely attack a website. I have found that some websites are still being attacked after a few hours. This is usually due to errors being thrown during the attack process and Burp Suite has determined that too many errors have been thrown it will stop attempting the test that was throwing the errors.
- Burp Suite is constantly being updated. I find that I have to install a new release about two or three times a month. I know this should be considered a good thing, and it can be, but sometimes I am afraid that an update might break the tool.
