It gives the user some very powerful control over what's going on, needless to say how helpful the "repeater" and "intruder" functions are. LOVE IT > > **Cons**: This tool is not for those who are not commited with their work or objective, as it is expensive(for me atleast) and i remember struggling to learn it's functionality at first. > > I considered BurpSuite to be my goto tool for quite some time, never failed me. Sometimes i even wish i knew it earlier ----- ### "Powerful and Versatile Web Security Testing" — 5.0/5 > **Kiran** | *23 February 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is most used by us for Web application pen testing. Very friendly to use and has advanced capabilities. Automated testing and its assessment results are great. Customization and adding of Burp extension makes testing even more powerful. > > **Cons**: No notable cons in this product, but resource intensive with automated scans. And must be very skilled professional to use this product. ----- ### "Best web application penetration testing tool" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 September 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Compared to other web assessment tools Burp Suite gives a very competitive price with lots of features. The community edition has limited features compared to the professional edition. Tools in the Burp suite are simple and flexible so tests can be easily carried out. Not like other web application testing tools, Burp suite is giving a lot of space for pentester to carry out the testings and has less false positives. > > **Cons**: Burp suite is not a point and shoot tool and needs in-depth knowledge to conduct a penetration test. Even though there are lots of tools built-in, they need to be arranged in a proper manner on the interface. Interfaces seem to be outdated and need to improve. The tool doesn’t have a lot of learning videos for beginners and support is a bit less. Reporting needs to improve with comprehensive reporting templates. > > Compared to other web applications assessment tools Burp suite is a solid tool for web based penetration testing for a reasonable price. Burp suite is providing lot of tools for penetration testers.Tool needs to improve their interface to become more user friendly. The User has given freedom to conduct both automated and manual testing. Overall Burp Suite is a good tool for security testers to conduct web application penetration testing. ----- ### "Essential website for appsec enthusiasts and professionals" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 October 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's the best platform out there in application security research papers and labs to practice. Anyone who wants to get in to this appsec career must follow all the modules of portswigger labs and articles. > > **Cons**: At some instances lab site gives weird errors that might took a long to debug. ----- ### "One of the most necessary tools in your security toolbox" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *11 May 2020* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Burp Suite is an essential tool for any network security tech, including a huge repertoire of useful tools. With the addition of add-ons, Burp has the ability to automate/scan for a wide variety of common vulnerabilities. Overall, Burp will save you a ton of time, and it's a must-have for any security/analyst/tester. > > **Cons**: The paid tier for Burp Suite is pretty aggressive, but isn't strictly necessary if you're willing to live within the confines of the community edition. Most of the good community add-ons are restricted to the paid version as well, which is unfortunate. > > Burp Suite helps us with all of our vulnerability scanning and pen testing for web apps ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2078773/portswigger?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2078773/portswigger) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
