We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution's extensions really expand the capabilities and features offered by the installation.""The initial setup is straightforward.""The product is easy to use.""We are in the early stage of using the solution making it difficult to fully determine the best features. However, we have noticed the CMDB and device discovery features look valuable at this time.""The most valuable features of PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition are the vast amount of options and ease of use. They frequently improve the solution every six months to a year. Additionally, if we want any more features we can upload a custom script to meet our needs.""The tool is loaded with many features that give us ROI.""I like normal dynamic scanning, general web applications scanning, and vulnerability assessments.""The product's initial setup phase was super easy."

"All of the features are great.""It allows us to concentrate solely on identified vulnerabilities without the hassle of additional setup.""The option to generate phishing emails has proven to be very valuable in understanding the behavior of users.""Technical support has been helpful and responsive.""I use Rapid7 Metasploit for payload generation and Post-Exploitation.""The most valuable feature for us is the support for testing Linux-based web server components.""The solution is open source and has many small targetted penetration tests that have been written by many people that are useful. You can choose different subjects for the test, such as Oracle databases or Apache servers.""The tool's most useful feature for penetration testing is its automation capabilities. With the professional edition, you can upload the results from Nessus in the Rapid7 Metasploit solution portal."

Cons
"There are features or functionality missing, but PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition does try to update frequently to alleviate the shortcomings.""The stability of the scans could be improved.""PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition should incorporate a static code analysis feature. One main issue we encounter is false positives. False positives can be challenging for developers.""From my personal experience, the solution's performance could be improved.""It would be better if the solution is cloud-based.""There's definitely room for improvement. There are lots of false positives. Once I do the manual assessment, it comes as a false positive. They need to improve the Enterprise Edition, especially the part that gives false positives.""The cost per license per user could be cheaper, specifically for individual licensing.""The implementation of the solution is quite complicated and could be easier."

More PortSwigger Burp Suite Enterprise Edition Cons →

"I think areas with shortcomings that need improvement are more integration and automation.""At the time I was using it, the graphical user interface needed some improvements.""I would like to see more capabilities, more functions, and more features. More types of attack vectors.""The open-source version has reporting limitations. You need to develop these capabilities yourself. Built-in reporting is an excellent feature for penetration testing, but it isn't a must-have. The solution could also cover more vulnerabilities. Metasploit has around 10,000 exploits in its library, but more is always better.""It is necessary to add some training materials and a tutorial for beginners.""The initial setup was a bit "tweaky" for the open-source version.""The solution is not user-friendly and has room for improvement.""Better automation capabilities would be an improvement."
