    Chose PortSwigger Burp Suite
    Burp Suite stacks up fairly well against these other two products both of which are quite expensive to license. The best other product I would suggest is OWASP Zed Attack Proxy or ZAP. It performs quite well and the cost of the product is free. ZAP is an Open Source product. …

    Burp Suite is a good general tool to test websites as long as your website is not too large or you have the time for it to complete. We have some websites that only about five to ten minutes for Burp Suite to complete an attack and a spider only takes about two minutes. Other websites have taken a few hours to complete. I have seen a tester actually run Burp Suite against one of our websites and it took all day to complete.

    Rapid7 AppSpider could be your default DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing), it covers the OWASP top 10 for web and APIs. Great tools, with a very nice and understandable report and analytics, work excellent for one-shot or continuous monitoring of your web assets. Also has a fair amount of integrations with other popular tools.

    Pros
    PortSwigger Web Security
    • 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.

    Cons
    PortSwigger Web Security
    • 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.

    Usability
    PortSwigger Web Security
    The workflow between features like Proxy, Scanner, Intruder, and Repeater feels seamless, making it easy to intercept, manipulate, and analyze web traffic. Despite its advanced capabilities, the tool remains accessible and flexible, which significantly speeds up testing without overwhelming the user.

    BurpSuite does not have an amazing customer support. All the major help that you will find is from public forums and Google. Although you will find all the required information on Google, still at time professional support helps you solve the problem in much less time and make your operations go smoothly.

    PortSwigger Web Security
    Each tool is specific and are good for what they do. While Burp Suite can perform some level of the same functions, somehow security consultants prefer these tools as additional to the Burp Suite. Maybe due to open source and easy setup when compared to Burp Suite. But Burp Suite allows for one tool for many templates for each project.

    Return on Investment
    PortSwigger Web Security
    • 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. :-)
