Burp Suite DAST vs Dradis

Burp Suite DAST is an automated dynamic scanner for web vulnerabilities, built on the scanning engine used in Burp Suite Professional. Its Chromium-based crawler can handle JavaScript single-page applications, dynamic forms, GraphQL endpoints, and asynchronous loads, while crawling and auditing can run in parallel. Session-aware scans maintain authenticated state using username-password pairs or recorded login sequences. The scanner covers APIs described by Postman Collections, OpenAPI, SOAP, and GraphQL, with native support for several authentication methods. Teams can schedule portfolio scans from a dashboard or run them in CI pipelines, including on pull requests and merges. Deployment options include managed cloud and self-hosted software for Windows and Linux, plus Helm deployment for Kubernetes; self-hosted deployments can operate in air-gapped environments. Access controls include role-based permissions, site groups, audit trails, SAML single sign-on, and group-locked scan policies. Findings include captured requests and confirming responses. Pricing depends on the portfolio and requires contacting PortSwigger; a guided proof-of-concept trial follows a tailored demo and discovery call.

Dradis supports security assessment work from kickoff through collaboration, reporting, remediation and workflow automation. It organizes assessment information with structured data, templates and automation to create consistent deliverables, and its review process lets teams examine work in a PR-style format before it reaches a report. Risk tools include CVSSv4, DREAD and MITRE ATT&CK calculators, with OWASP, PTES, OSCP, HIPAA, PCI and custom methodologies. Dradis lists more than 47 integrations across scanners, ticketing and SSO, including Nessus, Burp Suite, Nmap, Qualys, Jira and Okta. A REST API, webhooks and rules engine support integrations and automated workflows. Remediate adds tracking of fixes and integrations with Jira, Azure DevOps and ServiceNow. The software is self-hosted and can run without an internet connection; the maker says it cannot access customer data. Community Edition is free for one project at a time. Assess costs $3,600 a year and Remediate costs $7,200 a year, each with a three-seat minimum.
