AS Abhijeet S. Senior Security Engineer 11/18/2025 "Valuable Security Research Platform with Room for Improvement" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Bugcrowd? I find Bugcrowd exceptionally helpful as it provides well-structured and legitimate security research opportunities, connecting me with programs that truly value detailed vulnerability reports. This platform offers clear program instructions, scope, and bounty structures which eliminate guesswork and allow me to focus on discovering real, in-scope vulnerabilities. The explicit bounty structures enable me to prioritize findings based on their impact, saving me time and enhancing my efficiency. Transitioning to Bugcrowd was easy and quick, simplifying the setup process and getting me started almost immediately. This streamlined setup and organized approach make Bugcrowd a highly efficient platform for my work. Additionally, compared to our previous platform, HackerOne, Bugcrowd is more cost-effective, offering substantial financial benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bugcrowd? Sometimes, I find the triaging process to be slow and inconsistent across different programs. A faster, more uniform triage process would enhance the experience significantly. Additionally, I encountered a terrible experience in my last report submission where I needed to reach out to Bugcrowd's support team for mediation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bugcrowd solving and how is that benefiting you? Bugcrowd provides well-structured, legitimate security research opportunities and clear program instructions.

Full time Bug Bounty hunter Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/11/2025 "Review from 9 years of hunting on Bugcrowd" 5/5 What do you like best about Bugcrowd? I've been hunting on Bugcrowd since a long time. And through all these years, the one quality I observed in the overall proceedings of Bugcrowd is about the sense of cooperation and supportive attitude that their team possess towards the crowd. Now whether it's about a support ticket or triage processes. "Cooperation" from the platform was one of the major reasons that even as a full time bug hunter, I invest a major part of my time bug hunting for the programs available on the "Bugcrowd". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bugcrowd? I dislike it when, even for a simple reported bug, the triage team places multiple blockers on researchers without fully reading the report or attempting the provided steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bugcrowd solving and how is that benefiting you? Bugcrowd owns the expertise of a crowd which constitutes hundreds of thousands of skilled ethical hackers and cyber security researchers from all across the globe. This massive crowd is capable of uncovering the most unanticipated and never before seen security flaws (or bugs) in organizations critical assets which would otherwise never be possible to determine using the traditional pentests.

Bugcrowd has been the backbone of my professional journey in cybersecurity since 2016. What I appreciate most is the platform’s consistency, transparency, and strong ethical foundation. It provides a wide range of programs—from public to private—with clear scopes and structured communication. The triage team is responsive, and the support staff is genuinely helpful. Bugcrowd also stands out because it values and respects researchers—not just with monetary rewards but through recognition, community engagement, and long-term relationships. It’s more than just a platform; it’s a community I’m proud to be a part of. it has the most easy and understandable UI interface, so that user uses it so frequently that never goes out of the goal. your integration with support system on freshdesk is tremendous and now it is easy to track support tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bugcrowd? There are occasional delays in report responses and bounty payments, especially when waiting on program owners. While this is understandable, it can sometimes be frustrating—particularly for time-sensitive research. I’d also love to see more transparency around program activity (e.g., how actively they're reviewing reports) to help researchers better allocate their time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bugcrowd solving and how is that benefiting you? Bugcrowd bridges the gap between ethical hackers and organizations by providing a secure, structured, and legal way to disclose vulnerabilities. It eliminates the uncertainty that often comes with independent disclosure, giving researchers like me confidence that our findings will be respected and rewarded. For me personally, it has provided a stable source of income, continuous learning opportunities, and direct access to real-world security challenges across industries. Bugcrowd has also helped me build my reputation in the security community through leaderboard rankings, badges, and recognition. It’s not just a platform—it's a career path.

I’ve been on Bugcrowd since 2016, and it’s the only platform I actively hunt on. I’ve tried other platforms over the years, but Bugcrowd still feels the best in terms of usability, transparency, and fairness. The dashboard is simple to navigate, programs are clearly explained, and the triage team has always been professional and helpful. I also like how transparent they are with communication and how easy it is to keep track of submissions and payouts. It just feels like they’ve built it with both researchers and customers in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bugcrowd? Overall, my experience has been very positive, but sometimes the triage process can take longer than I’d like, especially during busy program periods. Also, there are moments when I wish there was a more direct way to talk to program owners for quick clarifications. Reward processing has been smooth most of the time, but on rare occasions it can be delayed. None of these are dealbreakers, though — just areas where I think Bugcrowd could make an already great platform even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bugcrowd solving and how is that benefiting you? Bugcrowd connects me with a wide range of real-world security programs from companies I’d never have direct access to otherwise. They take care of the legal, payment, and coordination side of things, so I can focus on hunting and improving my skills. The triage team filters reports and handles communication with program owners, which saves me time and avoids misunderstandings. Over the years, this has helped me grow as a researcher, stay motivated, and earn a steady stream of rewards while working on challenging and interesting targets.

Full-time bug hunter Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/30/2025 "Bugcrowd Helps Me as a Full-Time Hunter" 5/5 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. What problems is Bugcrowd solving and how is that benefiting you? Bugcrowd bridges the gap between skilled hunters and companies with real attack surfaces.

JS Jitmanyu S. Software Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/19/2024 "Collaborative Crowdsourcing for Enhanced Cybersecurity" 5/5 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bugcrowd solving and how is that benefiting you? Bugcrowd addresses the challenge of identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities by leveraging a global network of skilled ethical hackers. This crowdsourced approach allows organizations to detect and resolve security issues more efficiently than traditional methods. For me, it provides access to diverse security expertise, ensuring a more comprehensive and robust security posture, ultimately reducing the risk of breaches and enhancing overall system resilience.

JE Jack E. Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/5/2024 "A great partner for growing a security program" 5/5 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. What problems is Bugcrowd solving and how is that benefiting you? Initially our organisation received bug disclosures via our public facing customer service inbox. This lead to a lot of confusion within our customer service team as to what to do about these disclosures. Often these disclosures were also low quality, and often the output of an automated script that targets high-traffic web applications for bugs and a contact email, prospecting us for a financial reward with little to no remediation advice or proof of exploit. Bugcrowd provides a layer of filtration away from these submissions, their traige team ensure that we do not see low quality or repeat findings, thanks to their knowledge of previous disclosures that we already were dealing with before onboarding them. They put an onus on researchers to provide remediation advice, evidence to support their disclosures and discretion when submitting bugs. The platform itself also allows us to integrate crowd based testing into our productivity processes, via Jira tickets that are created for findings, that are programatically added to the correct queue and status for prioritisation by agile delivery managers in development teams. Their slack integration also allows for a natural conversation to occur within our organisation whenever a new finding is submitted, keeping both the development and security teams talking about application security.
