What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
Best for: Security teams scaling Burp scanning across many apps
It earns a place because it puts a scanner many testers already know into a platform that runs on a schedule or on every pull request across many apps. It suits mid-sized and large security teams that want one place for all their web scans. Ask how much setup each logged-in scan needs, because that work grows with every app you add.
