I recently used Cobalt for a penetration test and had a great experience. The team was professional, thorough, and highly responsive throughout the process. Their platform made collaboration easy, and the final report was clear, detailed, and actionable. It’s been great working with Claire Beaudron — she’s professional, responsive, and a pleasure to collaborate with. I’d definitely recommend Cobalt for reliable and efficient pentesting services.

nothing evreything went smooth. Team was very supportive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Cobalt works with us dynamically, allowing us to schedule pentests anytime, even in short windows. It's really convenient that we just need to provide the date and scope, and they assign a team and provide a secure tunnel for their pentesters to access our apps. The initial setup was very easy; we didn't require any setup at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think one thing is if they have a dedicated tunnel that can be reusable then we don't have to deploy every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interactive portal for viewing findings and downloading reports. Slack channel for online collaboration with pentesters and Cobalt staff. API for automated data extraction. Ability to pull data directly from API into Google Sheets using scripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The API would benefit from a bit of tidying up and some additional features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't used any other pentesting platforms, but they seemed a little expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how Cobalt aids in automating pen testing as a service, which simplifies security measures for our team and significantly enhances our security framework. It is capable of providing realistic attack simulations, mimicking what actual security breaches would look like, which has been incredibly helpful for our team in preparing and fortifying our security posture. Setting up Cobalt was fairly easy and straightforward, making the initial transition smooth despite some complexities with back-end configuration and access management. Moreover, Cobalt helps us maintain HIPAA compliance, which is crucial for our operations, thereby reinforcing our decision to continue the partnership. Its compliance capabilities stand out as a major benefit, ensuring that we adhere to necessary regulations, which is a top priority for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

{"I find that Cobalt could benefit from having a more comprehensive suite of cybersecurity products. Currently, it feels somewhat limited and heavily focused on pen tests. Expanding its range of capabilities beyond pen tests would make it a more holistic cybersecurity solution."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part was the transparency during the whole process. The pentesters maintained a constant communication channel with us. The platform that recorded the findings was really well. they also started the pen test within 3 business days of contract signing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More pentesers could be utilized and the test could have been completed faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cobalt offers Pentest as a service (PTaaS). When we started working on it, our goal was to strengthen our application security by incorporating on-demand pentesting services. The platform allows us to deploy faster pentests, and real-time collaboration with security experts. We use Cobalt's service every quarter. We have also integrated our CI/CD pipeline with Cobalt’s PTaaS model. The platform is also user-friendly to manage vulnerability findings seamlessly. Platform support is exceptional as usual.

Cobalt is a little more expensive than other traditional penetration testing. For small organizations, it is on the higher side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use, allowing us to see from the beginning how many credits will be needed for the test, also the communication with the assigned team members is always fast and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We haven't faced any downsides of using Cobalt, from our current status and requirements they are a reliable partner we can trust to test our environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cobalt offers great, affordable pentesting services that fit a range of budgets and timing needs. We also get fresh perspectives from researchers who haven’t tested our applications before, which means each pentest brings a new set of eyes and insights. The consistent quality of their testing results helps us stay on track and get through audit season more smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have any dislikes about Cobalt. I’d recommend them without hesitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
