Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Key features allow creation of well-presented Wiki that includes ideas, development, and domains."
"For us, Gitlab's most valuable feature is the integration with Cypress. We're using Cypress as an automation tool, so we're using GitLab as a tool for running in parallel."
"This product is always evolving, and they listen to the customers."
"The most valuable features of GitLab are the CI/CD pipeline and code management."
"The SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning."
"A user friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature of GitLab is the ability to upload scripts and make changes when needed and then reupload them. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly."
"The merging feature makes it easy later on for the deployment."
"I have found this solution has more plugins than other competitors which is a benefit. You are able to attach different plugins to the security scan to add features. For example, you can check to see if there are any payment systems that exist on a server, or username and password brute force analysis."
"I have found the best features to be the performance and there are a lot of additional plugins available."
"The solution is quite helpful for session management and configuration."
"The suite testing models are very good. It's very secure."
"The solution has a great user interface."
"The way they do the research and they keep their profile up to date is great. They identify vulnerabilities and update them immediately."
"I personally love its capability to automatically and accurately detect vulnerabilities. So, I would say it is the Burp scanner that is THE most powerful, valuable, and an awesome feature."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite does not hamper the node of the server, and it does not shut down the server if it is running."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the advanced features, particularly in enhancing the pipeline functionalities."
"Atlassian offers more products than GitLab. GitLab offers source control management, version control and collaboration between developers. Atlassian offers features on top of this as well as more integration points for developers."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration into the CI/CD pipeline, an autocomplete search tool, and more supporting documentation."
"It would be better if there weren't any outages. There are occasions where we usually see a lot of outages using GitLab. It happens at least once a week or something like that. Whatever pipelines you're running, to check the logs, you need to have a different set of tools like Argus or something like that. If you have pipelines running on GitLab, you need a separate service deployed to view the logs, which is kind of a pain. If the logs can be used conveniently on GitLab, that would be definitely helpful. I'm not talking about the CI/CD pipelines but the back-end services and microservices deployed over GitLab. To view the logs for those microservices, you need to have separate log viewers, which is kind of a pain."
"The documentation is confusing."
"I used Spring Cloud config and to connect that to GitLab was so hard."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"I don't really like the new Kubernetes integration because it is pretty focused on the on-premise environment, but we're in a hybrid environment."
"If we're running a huge number of scans regularly, it slows down the tool."
"I would like to see a more optimized solution, as it currently uses a lot of CPU power and memory."
"There should be a heads up display like the one available in OWASP Zap."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional can improve by having more features in the free version for beginners to try."
"Improvement should be done as per the requirements of customers."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The Burp Collaborator needs improvement. There also needs to be improved integration."
