Overall Satisfaction with Burp Suite

Portswigger Burp Suite is used as one of two primary tools by the vulnerability assessment team for evaluating security of all 300+ public facing web sites. It serves as a reliable tool in the suite used to find and validate deficiencies, and implement and verify fixes.
  • Penetration testing of web applications
  • Web vulnerability scanning
  • Customized scan and attack applications
  • Easy to use, but difficult to master.
  • Some polish to the GUI and reports would be nice.
  • More comprehensive integration with government regulations would help in terms of compliance efforts.
  • 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. :-)
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.
HP Fortify Security Scope
Burp Suite is recognized among cybersecurity professionals as a world-class web security tool. It is amazingly inexpensive, with the full-featured Professional version at only $350, a price within reach of most organizations. For those with a limited budget or technical expertise, an outsourced solution may be better. Otherwise, it is really tough to beat this product for what it does.
