"Cobalt is our chosen Penetration testing partner"

5/5

What do you like best about Cobalt?

One of the things I like best about Cobalt is the ease of the entire process, from setting the scope and access to the way the findings are reported in their portal, and with Jira directly integrated, creating and closing issues make everything smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cobalt?

We used to have JIRA integrated directly, but on our current plan we have to manually manage the tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient, Automated Platform with Smooth Engagements"

4/5

What do you like best about Cobalt?

I really appreciate Cobalt's automated platform, which simplifies the setup process by quickly initiating scanning for the first environments. The platform streamlines communication by minimizing the need to go back and forth with people. I find it convenient that everything runs within a Slack channel and its automation features and notifications are particularly valuable. Additionally, engaging with Cobalt is a seamless experience, thanks to straightforward automations and detailed, appealing reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very flexible solution, with great capabilities to integrate tests to ensure remediation is"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Cobalt?

Cobalt is a great company to partner with. We have been able to easily integrate their findings with our ticket and vulnerability management solutions, so that we can prioritize their findings in similar ways and ensure engineering teams get visibility on them quickly. The solution and Cobalt team are great to work with. It's easy to use and achieve our goals with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cobalt?

This isn't a downside for us as we use SaaS tools regularly, if you are limited in your usage of Saas tools it would be major road block. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pentest done right."

5/5

What do you like best about Cobalt?

It's really easy to set up a pentest. We use Cobalt a couple of times a year, so we can use predefined templates for the same products. Almost every time we create a new request, there are new features. Anytime we have a question or request, our CSM is there for us.

Our Platform Teams take advantage of Jira Integration to manage findings. The Slack channel is also a nice touch - it makes communication much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cobalt?

Sometimes it's hard to understand how credits work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
