Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Burp Suite

  • The automated vulnerability scanner is Professional only, at $499; the free Community edition is manual tools
  • BApp Store extensions require the Professional edition
  • DAST and the agentic testing product are separate enterprise offerings with no published price
  • Professional is licensed per user per year rather than perpetually

CivicPlus Asset Management

  • The product changed owner and name in January 2025, so references, documentation and community knowledge are split between Beehive Industries and CivicPlus Asset Management.
  • Existing Beehive customers face a migration to CivicPlus Asset Management 2.0 that involves data mapping and retraining, not a routine upgrade, and the timing is set by the vendor rather than the customer.
  • It is designed for small and mid-sized municipalities, and larger utilities with complex linear assets or regulatory reporting will find the asset model too shallow.
  • CivicPlus is a private-equity-backed consolidator with many acquired products, so investment in any single acquired line depends on portfolio decisions the customer has no visibility into.
  • No pricing is published and it is frequently sold as part of a wider CivicPlus bundle, which makes a like-for-like comparison against a standalone CMMS difficult.
