The short version

  • Only Burp Suite has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Burp Suite the automated vulnerability scanner is Professional only, at $499; the free Community edition is manual tools; Trend Micro Vision One licensing is a credit pool consumed at different rates by different modules, so forecasting a renewal means modelling which capabilities you will activate rather than counting users, and switching on a new module silently draws down the budget for an existing one.
  • They diverge on capability: Burp Suite covers Web vulnerability scanner, Trend Micro Vision One covers Cross-layer correlation.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Burp Suite

  • Manual web application penetration testing through an intercepting proxynot Trend Micro Vision One
  • Automated scanning for web vulnerabilities on the Professional editionnot Trend Micro Vision One
  • Extending testing with community-built BApp extensionsnot Trend Micro Vision One
  • Enterprise-wide dynamic scanning through Burp DASTnot Trend Micro Vision One

Trend Micro Vision One

  • A datacentre estate carrying unpatchable or end-of-life servers where virtual patching provides cover that patching cannotnot Burp Suite
  • An organisation already running Trend endpoint and email that wants correlation across them without buying a separate XDR vendornot Burp Suite
  • Mid-market security teams that want one console and one contract rather than integrating four vendors themselvesnot Burp Suite
  • Regulated organisations needing a specific hosting region for detection telemetry rather than a single global instancenot Burp Suite

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

Trend Micro Vision One

  • Licensing is a credit pool consumed at different rates by different modules, so forecasting a renewal means modelling which capabilities you will activate rather than counting users, and switching on a new module silently draws down the budget for an existing one.
  • Retention in the XDR data lake beyond the included window is bought with additional credits, so the retrospective hunting the platform is sold on is precisely the part with an ongoing meter attached, and teams shorten retention to control spend.
  • The correlation that justifies the platform only exists over deployed Trend sensors, so an organisation running only the endpoint agent gets an EDR with a large console, and reaching the advertised value means a de facto single-vendor commitment across email, network and workload.
  • Legacy management planes persist: Apex Central, Deep Security Manager and the older Cloud One consoles overlap with Vision One and migrations have run for years, so administrators frequently maintain two consoles for the same agents and learn both.
  • The agents hook file and network operations, so on build servers, database hosts and developer machines the overhead is noticeable, and the standard remedy is broad path exclusions that remove protection from exactly the directories where attackers stage tooling.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Burp Suite: Does Burp Suite offer a free version?

Yes, Burp Suite Community Edition is available free and supports manual testing. The page does not provide specific details on additional paid editions or their pricing.

Source
Trend Micro Vision One: What are Trend Micro Credits?

A single purchased pool of licensing units drawn down by whichever Vision One modules you activate, at different rates per module and per protected object. It replaces separate per-product subscriptions and shifts the forecasting problem onto you.

Burp Suite: What features are available in the free edition?

Burp Suite Community Edition supports manual security testing, though specific feature limitations compared to paid editions are not detailed on this page. Visit individual product pages for detailed tier comparisons.

Source
Trend Micro Vision One: Is this the same thing as Deep Security?

Not the same, but related. Server and workload protection in Vision One descends from Deep Security, and Trend has been migrating Deep Security and Cloud One Workload Security customers onto the Vision One platform. Existing Deep Security deployments still exist in the field.

Burp Suite: Are paid versions of Burp Suite available?

Yes, PortSwigger offers Burp Suite Professional and Burp Suite DAST as paid products, though specific pricing and feature details are not available on the main product page.

Source
Trend Micro Vision One: Does it replace my SIEM?

No. It correlates and retains telemetry from Trend sensors and selected third parties, but it is not a general-purpose log store for every system in the estate, and compliance log retention requirements are usually still met elsewhere.

Trend Micro Vision One: Do I have to use Trend endpoint protection?

To get real value, effectively yes. Third-party ingestion exists but the correlation quality depends on Trend's own sensor telemetry, and a Vision One deployment over someone else's endpoint agent is not what the platform is designed around.

Trend Micro Vision One: Where is the data held?

In the regional instance you choose at onboarding. Confirm the specific region against your residency obligations before deployment, because moving afterwards is a migration.
