What I like best about Burp Suite is the level of control and visibility it provides during web application testing. The intercepting proxy makes it easy to inspect, modify, and replay requests in real time, which is extremely helpful for understanding application logic and finding vulnerabilities. Tools like Repeater, Intruder, and Scanner work seamlessly together, making both manual and automated testing efficient. Its detailed insights, flexibility, and strong community support make it one of the most effective tools for learning and performing real-world security testing.

What I dislike about Burp Suite is the steep learning curve for beginners, especially when first understanding the proxy setup and tool workflow. Many powerful features are restricted to the paid version, which can be limiting for students and independent learners. It can also be resource-intensive on lower-end systems, sometimes affecting performance during large scans. Additionally, manual testing requires experience to use effectively, as Burp does not always guide new users clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
