Cobalt Reviews & Product Details

I like most about Cobalt is how simple and fast it makes security testing. Instead of long, complicated processes, it connects you with skilled testers on demand, so you can quickly find and fix issues. It feels more flexible, transparent, and easy to work with compared to traditional approaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Managing multiple issues/findings can get a bit overwhelming

Coordination with different testers may take extra effort Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the quality of researchers on the Cobalt platform, which helps us find hidden vulnerabilities missed by our internal security team. The penetration testers provide weekly updates on tests and deliver clean, clear reports on each detected vulnerability. These reports are easily understandable for developers and assist in fixing vulnerabilities. The collaborative environment with the Tester and Project Manager makes support feel much more effective, allowing real-time discussions on the flow of testing. The pricing is also lesser than other providers without compromising quality, which is amazing. The initial setup was incredibly easy, like a cakewalk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Cobalt's bug bounty and pentesting services, as it's a mature platform that helps resolve potential vulnerabilities and hardens our architecture. I'm impressed with how fast Cobalt Strike and the pentest services launch with the core team of specialists. I also appreciate the agile pentesting, which helps resolve issues during the CI/CD process. Additionally, the initial setup of Cobalt was pretty fast to deploy and launch.

I don't like how Cobalt often either overscopes or underscopes the audits, which ends up causing a loss of credits. If there could be a better way of scoping just right, it would help improve efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cobalt provides an excellent balance of flexibility and expertise in penetration testing. I like how their platform makes it easy to track findings, communicate directly with testers, and manage retesting. The talent and professionalism of their pentesters stand out—they deliver actionable results, not just reports. The continuous visibility into progress and remediation guidance is a huge value add.

The only drawback is that scheduling can sometimes take longer than expected, especially for retesting or specialized scopes. While the platform is solid, the interface could be a bit more intuitive for tracking test progress and filtering findings. These are minor compared to the overall value Cobalt provides, but improvements here would make the experience even smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
