Why these ratings?
Cyberse perspective
Summary by Cyberse
Microsoft Sentinel may be considered a good fit for you due to its powerful capabilities.
Here’s a few tips on how to maximize its capabilities:
We use the following criteria to rate this product’s functionality:
Cost considerations
Burp Suite uses a flat annual licence of about $499 per user and also offers a free Community Edition, so budgeting is simple and upfront. The subscription is cheaper than most rival web-app scanners and there are no hidden add-on or reporting fees, giving buyers predictable costs with minimal risk of overruns.
Capabiliities
Burp Suite delivers deep web and API testing with manual exploitation features, but offers almost no tooling for network, cloud, mobile, or social-engineering work. Its reports are serviceable yet lack the broader risk context provided by multifunction testing suites. Overall coverage therefore sits in the mid-range.
Team expertise
PortSwigger’s senior engineers include Dafydd Stuttard, author of the Web Application Hacker’s Handbook, and frequent DEF CON and Black Hat speakers. The team has published numerous CVEs and has focused on web attack research for more than a decade. This public track record places their expertise at the top tier among penetration-testing tool vendors.
Tools & methodology
Burp Suite guides testers through an OWASP-style process, blends automated scans with hands-on tools, and generates clear, structured reports. Yet, testers must add their own PTES documentation and deep root-cause write-ups. The mix puts it above basic checklists but short of a fully integrated methodology framework.
Company reputation
PortSwigger enjoys broad, long-term adoption among penetration testers and is frequently highlighted in security conferences and training courses. Independent reviews and community forums show consistent, positive sentiment toward the company and its flagship Burp Suite. No public records point to legal issues, client churn, or compliance lapses, indicating a solid reputation.
