HackerOne Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Consultant at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees4.0I find HackerOne excellent for bug bounty programs, leveraging ethical hackers to efficiently identify vulnerabilities, saving my organization significant time and money. While mostly stable and scalable, I'd suggest improving researcher rewards, SLAs, and customer support.
Senior Software Developer at hireHQ4.5As an ethical hacker, I use HackerOne for bug bounties, valuing its community and structured platform for finding vulnerabilities. It helps me learn and thoroughly test applications, though I suggest improving AI for report deduplication and prioritization.
Senior ICT Security Consultant at Applied Principles Limited4.5I use HackerOne for bug submissions, especially race conditions, and appreciate its simple interface, fast responses, and filtering options. It’s reliable and motivating, though I wish new users had more access to private programs.
Senior Software Developer at hireHQ4.5I’ve used HackerOne for four years to run scalable, stable bug bounties and pentests, helping find critical issues before release, with good priority support and ROI. I’d like stronger internal triage alongside internal controls; overall I rate it 9/10.
QA Engineering Lead at kintsugi3.0I use HackerOne for security testing, valuing its collaboration and bounty potential. Yet, slow triage, unreliable triagers, and low ROI are major issues. These concerns, plus stability problems, led me to now prefer Intigriti.
Senior Security Professional at Oportun, Inc.4.0I've found HackerOne effective for managing bug bounties, with valuable AI and customizable features, though it lacks automatic duplicate detection. Overall, it's a solid fit for us, offering good collaboration and cost-effectiveness. I'd rate it 8/10.
dApp Auditor at Hacken4.5I use HackerOne for finding and reporting vulnerabilities, benefiting from its larger platform and better reputation. Although rewards are substantial and costless, newer researchers face challenges with invitations, and the process has become slower compared to other platforms.
SAP Security and GRC Consultant at Skillmine Technology Consulting4.5I use HackerOne for freelancing, doing penetration testing on websites and earning through bug bounties. It's user-friendly, offers practice environments, but could improve by recognizing duplicate reports. It's more efficient than Bugcrowd due to quicker response times and simpler reporting.
Security Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.5I use HackerOne in my downtime to earn extra cash alongside my full-time job. I appreciate its direct contact for issue resolution, though visibility into triager-program communications would improve understanding. I haven't used other solutions before HackerOne.
Lead Developer at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees5.0HackerOne significantly improved my app's security and streamlined operations through its skilled hacker community and payment integrations. I value their responsive support, although I desire more out-of-the-box integration options beyond Slack for broader functionality.
