    Burp Suite accelerates web testing, though pricing limits accessibility for freelancers

    Jul 27, 2026
    I've used Burp Suite Professional since the beginning of my Cybersecurity career and it has consistently remained my go-to web application pentesting tool. It's had a huge impact on the Application Security industry and allowed me to easily discover web security vulnerabilities while testing client applications, provide reproduction steps and demonstrate meaningful impact/exploit by developing production-safe POCs.

Burp Suite Professional Likes & Dislikes

Like

With Burp Suite Professional, the active and passive scanning tools make it easy to efficiently identify vulnerabilities, and the Burp AI features (now Burp AT) in recent years have expanded its ease of use and power even further. What I like most about the product and Portswigger as a company is that they are constantly expanding the tool's capabilities and remain active in the security research community (both constantly discovering new attack methods and teaching others via their Portswigger Web Security Academy publications), allowing them to add practical updates to Burp Suite that keep pace with the ever-changing attack surface of modern web applications.
