    Aug 29, 2025
    My overall experience with Burp Suite Professional has been very positive. It is one of the most reliable and feature-rich tools for web application security testing. The interface is intuitive once you get used to it and it provides a comprehensive set of functionalities such as proxying, scanning, repeater, intruder, and extender support. While the automated scanner is highly effective at identifying common vulnerabilities like XSS, SQL injection and authentication issues, while the manual tools give complete flexibility for deep testing, I also appreciate the strong community support and regular updates from Portswigger. which continuously enhance the product. Performance is smooth even when handling large amounts of traffic and the ability to customize workflows with extensions makes it highly adaptable. Overall, Burp Suite Professional is an industry-standard solution that significant improves productivity and accuracy in cyber assessments.

    5.0
    Aug 7, 2025
    I've been using Brup Suite Professional for a while now, and it's hands-down one of the most powerful tools for web app testing. It brings everything into one place---proxy, scanner, intruder, repeater and makes both manual and automated testing smooth and efficient. I especially like how customizable it is with all the extensions available, and the Collaborator feature has been super helpful for finding tricky bugs.
