"Bugcrowd Helps Me as a Full-Time Hunter"
What do you like best about Bugcrowd?

The triage quality is solid, response times are fair, and the platform doesn’t get in my way when I’m focused on practical impact. I also like that programs are often more receptive to critical exploit chains, not just single-issue bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bugcrowd?

Lack of asset clarity in some programs wastes time. I also wish analytics and submission filtering had more depth to support hunters who operate at scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Collaborative Crowdsourcing for Enhanced Cybersecurity"
What do you like best about Bugcrowd?

What I appreciate most about Bugcrowd is its collaborative approach to cybersecurity. The platform brings together a diverse community of ethical hackers and security professionals, empowering them to contribute to real-world security challenges. This collective intelligence not only enhances the security posture of organizations but also creates a dynamic environment where continuous learning and skill development are encouraged. Additionally, Bugcrowd's focus on transparency, fairness in rewards, and providing a platform for both experienced and novice hackers to contribute makes it a unique and impactful leader in the field of crowdsourced security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bugcrowd?

One area of improvement for Bugcrowd could be enhancing the communication and feedback loop between researchers and program owners. At times, the response times or clarity of feedback can be inconsistent, which may lead to frustration for researchers who are seeking more timely or detailed guidance on their submissions.

"A great partner for growing a security program"
What do you like best about Bugcrowd?

Their account team helped us grow our discoosure program over time into something that we aim to evolve even further into an eventual Bug Bounty program. They help identify and engage the right researchers to get disclosures, without creating duplicate submissions via their triage team.

The account team are flexible and generous in their pricing in order to foster a good partnership, and to remain our vendor of choice for the long term. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bugcrowd?

Their integrations are somewhat difficult to set up for things like Jira, and could do with an overhaul to the more modern toolchain service in Jira.

Initial engagement on our program was very slow, and required a lot of convincing of product owners to move to a public program without much evidence of eengagement beforehand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bugcrowd Delivers Top-Notch Security Solutions for Robust Vulnerability Management"
What do you like best about Bugcrowd?

As a client been consistently impressed by the caliber of security submissions and the overall effectiveness of the Bugcrowd community.

A key strength lies in Bugcrowd's capacity to assemble a diverse and highly proficient group of ethical hackers and security experts.

The impressive feature is the submission process is a standout feature, characterized by its streamlined and efficient nature.

The platform's user-friendly interface further enhances this experience, enabling transparent communication, smooth collaboration, and constructive feedback throughout the entirety of the security testing process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bugcrowd?

The payment rule, when a submission hasn't been reviewed by the client for a certain period, is a point of concern. The client may still be in the process of reviewing, and the issue might not be critical for them. Unfortunately, There are few times when Bugcrowd missess to intervene or prompt the client to take action; instead, it automatically processes payment.

On the flip side, it's noteworthy that Bugcrowd does ensure researchers get paid, demonstrating a commitment to compensating their community promptly. However, striking a balance between ensuring timely payments for researchers and allowing clients sufficient time to assess submissions might be an area for improvement in Bugcrowd's process.
