Fantastically Essential Resource for the Toolkit! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephen H. | Director of ICT, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Ease of use and setup. Great to implement and running in minutes! Concise but encompassing enough to address risks and close the loopholes when discovered continually! **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Nothing - price is fantastic, just like the results. Great to feedback at board level and within IT Technical teams to address any identified issues. Also indispensable when delegating areas of responsibility. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder enables us to scan internal and external targets for known issues and identify new zero-day exploits and risks as they arise, allowing for the resolution of exploits same-day. ### 2. Great software, easy to implement **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kyle S. | CIO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** We are using this to meet our compliance standards. Intruder was easy to setup, and the emerging threat scans help our team stay on top of any new vulnerabilities. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** There is very little that we dislike regarding core functionality. I would like to have our monthly reports automatically uploaded to our Sharepoint site for our admin team to access easily. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder provides us with monthly penetration testing for our entire system. This allows us to exceed our compliance standards and ensure that we do not have any exploitable vulnerabilities in our system. ### 3. Great value brought by Intruder! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Muhammad Ridhwan B. | N.a, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2023 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Intruder provides vulnerability scanning/pen-testing that brings value to our organisation, ensuring our security and our clients are happy with what intruder has provided. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** The scanning time may be longer at certain times, but this is normal and depends on the target itself. This is the only current weakness. However, i believe the team at Intruder is willing to look into this. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder solves our organisation's initial issue, which was needing vulnerability scanning and pen-testing. We have surveyed the market and settled for Intruder as the best option. ### 4. Intruder.io provides a valuable security service with minimal startup effort and great price point! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** We use Intruder.io to run daily scans on our server platform. Industry experience shows that most penetrations are rooted in inadvertent misconfigurations. The daily scans provide us with confirmation that ongoing maintenance and software upgrades are not introducing unintended vulnerabilities. When we started using Intruder, not only did it flag particular vulnerabilities, but each warning was accompanied by specific action recommendations on how to eliminate the vulnerability. Intruder helped us to tighten up the perimeter of our cloud-based processing platform. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** There is nothing which I dislike about this service. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder.io helped us to tighten up the security of our platform. We used its reports to demonstrate the security of our platform for SOC2 auditing purposes. ### 5. User-friendly and covers most areas that you need to start. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** C Y. | Head of Engineering, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** The interface is intuitive, and the results are easy to interpret. There is no friction to get set up or get your first scans running. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** There is a four-week wait period to reuse a license that has been released. Every subdomain is considered a new target. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** It runs routine scans on endpoints for my production clusters and provides a friendly UI and a number of integrations to alert us to risks. ### 6. An intelligent and easy solution to minimise your appsec risk **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Will L. | Senior Engineering Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** I really liked how intruder integrated with our internal company comms (ie Slack), this meant we stayed on top of the notifications it produced. Time is critical when it comes to security vulns so it was helpful to have messages from Intruder next to our daily workflows. The team at Intruder were available to us at short notice when we needed support gaining cyber security insurance and the associated requirements that came with it. They were quick to re-perform a pen test and actions needed to help us understand our progress with specific vulnerabilities. I felt that this personal touch and expertise would be missing with other solutions I came across. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** No dislikes come to mind, as I said I think the product is very good and fit our needs well. It did work seamlessly in the background and sometimes we'd go some time without any direct interaction with Intruder, but if anything no news is good news when it comes to application security. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder periodically ran penetration tests and vulnerability scanning on our applications, and provided us with detailed and clear results, including any actions we needed to take to remedy the findings, alongside their respective urgency assessments. Intruder also acted as a security consultant for us and provided expert advice. ### 7. Simple to use vulnerability scanner, even for a non-technical person **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** The Intruder team (including support team) is very easy to contact and always ready to help in a super speedy way. The scanner delivers great results whilst the reports give a clear insight on how to resolve issues. The user interface is simple to use! When we started using Intruder, it was still small but the team is constantly growing, keeping the tools up-to-date with modern functionalities. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** In a big worldwide company there is a need for separation of duties. Whilst this is still on the roadmap, missing this functionality is still the biggest issue for us. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** In a big worldwide company it should be easy to get results for all teams in the world by which all the teams can make sure all our web apps and data are secure from hackers. Intruder is exactly providing the tools and services to help us identify these vulnerabilities (with automated scans or self-initiated scans). ### 8. Our best friend in battling security war **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nenad C. | Head of Tech, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Emerging threat scans are priceless. Intruder.io platform user experience is very intuitive. It is hard to imagine managing the security of our platform without Intruder.io. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** The page load times were a bit slow in the past, but that seems to have improved lately. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder.io is helping us manage security risks on our platform. It is very cost-effective. It saves a lot of DevOps time for us. It also helps us maintain a good reputation with our partners and users. ### 9. Impressive solution to real time threats **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Intruder?** The fact that the support team is incredabily helpful, they spent just under 3 hours with me showing and explaining to me how to install the application. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Their pricing is quite high, I feel that it is a good service though. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is providing me with real time vulnerabilites. ### 10. Great product with an easy to use control panel **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alec S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Nice and easy to use control panel. Very good report and risk review. Simple setup with guided instructions on how to install the agent. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Nothing so far, everything had worked as expected. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Provide pen testing reports to external customers ### 11. A great service that has further potential **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Professional Training & Coaching | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Intruder is a really easy system to use; the interface is clean and you can start and schedule scans without much effort. One of the features I like the most is the continuous automated scans for emerging threats. Customer Support has always been fast to respond and happily receive feedback about the product. It was also really easy to hook up to Slack and Jira. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Authenticated scanning is a new feature for Intruder and something that is currently a bit lacking in power. There's (currently) no way to validate the authentication is working and it's not possible to script any login process for those flows which are a bit more complicated. The Jira integration works but could be a bit more powerful and feature-complete. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder is allowing us to perform PEN-testing scans on our public and authenticated services, giving us assurance that we are running services that are not susceptible to common hacks and helping to fulfil part of our ISO27001 compliance. ### 12. Easy to use and very informative tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** It is very easy to install and run the agent on our internal teams. The monthly scheduled scans and reports highlight any vulnerabilities consistently and clearly indicate if any are critical or high - usually with clear advice on how to remediate them. The portal is pleasant to use and the UI makes it easy to navigate around. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** It does not support the function to export the 'raw scanner output' of any vulnerabilities. These are almost always key in remediating a vulnerability which therefore necessitates logging into the portal and looking at the raw scanner output of each vulnerability individually. Vulnerabilities have an age showing when they are first flagged by the system - a very very useful feature. However, this will remain for as long as the scanner picks up a vulnerability with the same name. Therefore, even if the original vulnerability (e.g. 'Windows Missing Security Patches') has been resolved (e.g. through a Windows Update) if new versions of the vulnerability appear just before the next scan (e.g. a new Windows Update being rolled out) then the internal target will show as having had this same vulnerability for a lengthy period of time. This has lead to false positives and awkward explanations in security audits. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is helping to identify missing patches in a monthly patching cycle, as well as any zero-day vulnerabilities which occur in between. It is helping to identify the exact patches/versions that are vulnerable and providing the correct version number and assistance in remediating to these. ### 13. Very slick security app **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Neil C. | Managing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Intruder has an elegant user experience and really contributes to peace of mind (as a business owner). Several times, when we get a client asking about whether we have patched and tested for a new threat it has been great to be able to send screenshots of us passing particular tests. It has become essential to us. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Nothing I can think of. Pricing is getting quite steep it seems. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Terrifying informaion security threat level. Intruder (and similar services) now the price of admission for internet business. ### 14. One less thing to worry about **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ben W. | Lead Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Intruder gives us great peace of mind that as we change and update our application and infrastructure nothing is missed from a security point of view. It's fast and easy to set up. It covers a comprehensive number of vulnerabilities that are kept up to date. Regular and Ad Hoc scans allow us to make sure we've not left vulnerable ports open or a server unpached when changes are made. It's an invaluable tool for us to keep secure and compliant. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** The interface can be a little confusing started with, but after a little getting used to it, you can find what you need. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder is providing automated testing of our application and supporting infrastructure for vulnerabilities and exploits we may be susceptible to. It allows us to make changes and updates to our application and systems knowing any issues will be flagged by Intruder. ### 15. Essential for reporting and vulnerability monitoring **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 14, 2023 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Intruder is great because it provides comprehensive scanning of cloud infrastructure with regular monitoring of emerging threats and excellent reporting. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Setting up Intruder for different environments or systems takes some planning. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Reporting on our services being secure against vulnerabilities and emerging threats ### 16. Discoverability, Threat Intelligence and Peace of Mind **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** James R. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** We use Intruder to scan our externally exposed endpoints for real vulnerabilities. With auto-discovery, a very proactive set of scans against emerging threats and solid notifications it is a tool I can forget about unless I need to. Rock solid UX **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Early on we struggled a little with deploying the AWS IAM role used by Intruder in our AWS Landing Zone, because the External ID varied each time, but they were quick to remediate **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** We want to know where we're vulnerable before anyone else. Intruder is a critical part of that story, freeing up engineers to ensure no issues appear ### 17. Easy to use and comprehensive **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sam B. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Intruder has been easy to setup and easy to use. Within just a few hours we'd had our first scans completed and had been presented with a PDF report which was just what we needed to demonstrate compliance. Would certainly reccommend. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Scans can sometimes be a little slow, though this is no big deal. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder is helping us demonstrate our compliance with ISO 27001. ### 18. Easy and intuitive **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** - Easy to use interface that lets you get scanning quickly - Straight forward and publicly viewable pricing model - Scans allow for tagging to help organise groupings - No extra charges for SSO - Emerging threat scan will check for newly released vulnerabilities as soon as there's a check (very cool) **What do you dislike about Intruder?** More of a feature request rather than a dislike - Support for password-less workflows for the authenticated web app scanning (I don't think this is a supported feature anywhere else?) **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder helps provide external vulnerability scanning for our public facing web services. The report can be used for both internal checks and for customer assurance. They also provide nice feature that will do ad-hoc quick scans of newly released vulnerabilities so you don't have to wait for the next scheduled scan. ### 19. Self service product - easy to use! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Esther P. | CISO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** For me as a CISO of a small start-up, a product like Intruder has been great to use. It's self-explanatory, easy to use, and with good explanations on the fixes needed to be done. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Unfortunately, they don't support at the moment smart login to scan on the Application level. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Vul' management and App scanning - easy to use, self explanatory ### 20. Pleasent - seamless **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul T. | Head Of Information Technology, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** easy to set up, visually helpful, good FAQ to answer questions **What do you dislike about Intruder?** i think the GUI for results could be cleaner , a bit to much information, maybe the ability to customize the screen **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** peace of mind that the website is secure as we deploy numerous updates on a daily basis ### 21. it just works! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Easy setup, comprehensive reports which are easy to understand and submit for audit. Moving from other cloud solutions which involved a lot of setup and off & on maintenance to a fully SAAS powered solution has so far been very helpful. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** We have only been using this platform for a little while but so far so good. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder is keeping an eye over our shoulder. As we upgrade and expand our platform, we are constantly being scanned to ensure we have not accidentally exposed any vulnerabilities which are known to them. ### 22. Great vulnerability scanner and a great team at Intruder **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Increased visibility over vulnerabilities on all targets. Clear explanations and remediations. The Intruder team are punctual with assistance and their openness to help & change has been very valuable. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** We've found a few issues with visibility on specific aspects of the control panel. Some items aren't overly precise, however, the Intruder team has taken onboard feedback with the aim of resolving these issues. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Assists us with pinpointing any vulnerabilities, new or existing amongst our cloud targets. This gives us greater visibility ensuring we can resolve issues across all targets. ### 23. Great tool for maintaining sight of your external endpoints **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** We have a number of external sites, and with varying technology stacks so being able to keep abreast of emerging threats makes our lives easier. The monthly scans as well the emerging threat (immediate targeted checks) scans gives us piece of mind. The connectivity to Azure is also helpful for keeping up with some of the more dynamic apps we maintain. We have it plugged into Teams and Jira so we can get visibility of new threat scans, and any potential vulnerabilities are fed into the service desk which is great for auditing and SOC. We also use the API to pull status info into PowerBI for monthly reporting. It is also great for audit purposes as it gives a clear demonstration that things are scanned constantly and the results are easy to walk people through. In the time we have been using it the number of checks executed by Intruder has gone up by almost a thousand so the rate of threats Intruder is maintaining and checking for is great value. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** The recently implemented authenticated option is still a bit expensive per endpoint - if you have a lot of endpoints it would really add up so hopefully that will come down or be bundled better in the future. We have had the occasional false report which we have had to configure to snooze but that is a rarity. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Annual penetration testing over a number of sites would normally result in some findings you would only know about once a year - leveraging Intruder to constantly scan means we are fixing immediately and means that pen testing when it does happen is a much better result! ### 24. As easy as promised **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Biotechnology | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** The interface is much simpler than other vulnerability scanners, making it easier to install the agents without having to read too much documentation and speeding up the work. Moreover, the export of the results is clear so that they can be transformed at a later date. The integration of new resources on a daily basis is very useful, as is the technical support provided. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** On the negative side, there is little customization available on the platform. From my point of view, when paying for this type of service, the branding should be eliminated both in the results to make it 'white-label', even partially, and in the portal itself, as happens in other cybersecurity platforms and services. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has helped us to perform different vulnerability scans for clients, both in their internal infrastructure and in the services exposed to the network. They also have advanced services that can be contracted for a small fee, which we found interesting but did not end up relying on them. ### 25. Outstanding customer service. True experts in automating security hardening. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christian T. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** I like knowing the team are available to help and to make the most of the service. I also take great comfort knowing that Intruder is keeping an eye on security 24x7 **What do you dislike about Intruder?** I don’t like that I have to pay a lot more for scanning secure sites. Maybe there is more to it, but I feel it’s just a normal site with a login, so why charge so much more. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** I want peace of mind and to feel secure in the belief that the team are really helping to keep my sites safe and therefore my reputation. ### 26. Great Customer Support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** - Good autoscanning - Great Customer Support **What do you dislike about Intruder?** - Report page has graphs that look good in demos, but are probably not that useful (for me at least) **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Auto scanning cloud targets/etc - Running vulnerability scans ### 27. Easy to use and accurate **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** It's super simple to add targets, see results, including any scan failures that need to be resolved. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** No option to create custom dashboards. For example, have all high profile applications or locations on one screen to see results. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows us to check our systems against one tool, rather than several. This means the team can work faster at tackling any potential threats, ### 28. Internal and External Vulnerability Scans made easy **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brian B. | Technical Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 28, 2021 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Intruder.io has a very clean and straightforward interface that makes it easy to setup both internal and external scans, monitor the results of those scans and, perhaps more importantly, how address any identified issues. The dashboard is clean, clear and provides feedback on what action needs to be taken to patch or resolve any issues. This is so much easier to use than other vulnerability scan tools I have used previously. There are not many pieces of software that I would recommend without reservation but Intruder.io is definitely software I would recommend to anyone. The support team have been really helpful in helping me configure my scans and occasionally check-in - which is also just another plus. You know that should you need any help it is readily available. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** While the resolution advice is clear and detailed it would sometimes be helpful if it also had some OS specific instructions. I cant think of anything else as the their are very few if any false positives **Recommendations to others considering Intruder:** I would say try it, it will dramatically reduce your administration time and will give you the assurance thats needed now because of the increasing rate of change and proliferation of attacks and updates to software **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder has allowed me to put in place weekly scans, which are reviewed and instructions passed to our network support team who then patch and resolve weekly. This has helped us improve the security and confidence in the security of both our internal network and hosted application servers. This has saved me time and improved the overall cyber security of the organisation which as Im sure everyone now appreciates is more critical than ever. ### 29. The greatest way to identify weaknesses in your product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julien B. | Co-founder and CTO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** I like the easiness of the tool, you can simply add an endpoint and start scanning right away **What do you dislike about Intruder?** There's nothing to be disliked in this tool **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Every time a new threat is revealed all my systems are automatically scanned ### 30. User Friendly and Informative Tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** The price model is just what's needed for a small infrastructure paying only for what you need. Form authentication allows for deep scanning. Automated compliance reporting. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Other than it's not free, we haven't found anything yet. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder will aid us in assessing and remediating vulnerabilities on our path to SOC2 and ISO27001 compliance. ### 31. Great User-Friendly and Intuitive Vulnerability Scanning Solution **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 24, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** The usability. The UI is very intuitive and easy to navigate. It's beginner-friendly and easy to pick-up for junior and advanced testers alike. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Built-in reporting functionality covers the key information, but the usefulness may decrease as the number of assets covered increases **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder's CloudSync feature integrates with your AWS/Azure/GCP accounts and automatically picks-up new instances, thereby eliminating a logistical nightmare ### 32. Great Tool that Brings Good Value **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joe B. | Chief Technology Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2021 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Intruder has an easy to use interface and the reports it generates are detailed and include remediation steps which is invaluable for an MSP trying to stay on top of the latest exploits. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** I would like to see the ability to remove branding from the Pro/Monthly subscription level. I would also like to see the ability to generate reports that show the "Emerging Threats" details front and center. **Recommendations to others considering Intruder:** If you need an easy to use tool that can reveal where there are vulnerabilities in your organization or those of your clients, Intruder.io is a great tool that exceeds our expectations and reaches that sweet spot of value generated and cost. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder gave me the ability to get a "second opinion" on a surface/attack surface scan. It also provides good value on security audits -- the ability to demonstrate to a client where vulnerabilities exist from a trusted third-party tool cannot be overstated. The immediacy of the "Emerging Threats" scanning is also very useful. As I've stated before the reporting is concise with just enough detail for a tech-savvy person but easy enough to not confuse non-technical C-Levels when it's time to write a cheque for the remediation efforts. ### 33. Intruder is the in what they do. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Karan S. | IT Support Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** I liked mostly threat detection and deployment **What do you dislike about Intruder?** There is not much to dislike but I think scanning time could be bit faster **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Vulnerability and Remediation ### 34. Intruder is a good vulnerability scan tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shen P. | Senior Software Development Engineer in Test, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** 1. check 11000+ vulnerabilities 2. quick scan 3. unauthenticated + authenticated scan **What do you dislike about Intruder?** No, I cannot find a dislike feature; all features look good. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder helps us do penetration test. It improves our web application security. ### 35. easy to use platform, lightning fast support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan B. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** We have used Intruder for around two years and are very happy with the product. The portal is very user-friendly providing all of the data we need in relation to CVE and CVSS remediation. Support is fast, friendly and always available. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** limited functionality for internal targets, but this is under development so looking forward to further improvements **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** vulnerability scanning on cloud and internal targets ### 36. Great, straight-forward, automatic vulnerability checker **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rob B. | Head of IT, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Intruder just works. It alerts me if one of my systems is vulnerable, keeps abreast of new vulnerabilities and provides a nice clear dashboard of what's going on. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Not a lot. If I were to ask for two additions, it would be SAML support for login (so we can use Okta). More communication about improvements to the platform might be helpful too - I find new features when I login, but as we generally don't need to login (which is a good thing) I don't find them often! **Recommendations to others considering Intruder:** They are a good team to work with - if you need a vulnerability scanner, especially against external services, it is a safe bet. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping our external services secure. We no longer have to worry quite as much about vulnerabilities in our external services. Whilst we have separate internal vulnerability management already, having intruder on a typical on-prem system also helps reassure. ### 37. Bringing Human Intelligence to Automated Security Scanning **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason P. | Analytics Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Intruder simplifies an essential function that is too often ignored because of its inherent complexity. What we like best is the way it boils down security issues to actionable tasks. You can trust that when it finds an issue it is really an issue and not a false positive. We trust it enough to have issues found by the automated scans added directly into Jira via their Jira integration. The Vanguard add-on also really takes the product to the next level. Having security engineers who are familiar with our site look at the automated results and verify them is deifnitely worth it. With Vanguard they can also pro-actively look for more complex issues like a hacker would. They found a critical issue in their first month that was worth the whole cost of the product. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Not much. The platform is simple and easy to use, but it is pretty new still so there are some usability things that are still rough around the edges. The slack integration could be expanded, for example there's not yet a way to have a new issue that shows up report to a slack channel. They have been responsive to feature requests. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are closing security holes we didn't know about before hackers find them. We have somewhere the team can refer to that shows an understandable view of what our open security issues are. ### 38. One of the best vuln online scanner. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Easy to manage and configure, integration with AWS. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Earlier it was a little tricky to configure but now UX is improved. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Detect server vulnerabilities and find services exposed to the Internet. ### 39. Great Low Cost Scanner!! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jim F. | Computer Security Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** We have been looking for a low-cost, QUALITY, PEN testing software and Intruder has covered most, if not all, of the requirements. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Some of the control screens are a little hard to manipulate at first. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Intruder is a fantastic addition to our PEN testing tools used for both CMMC and NIST 171 compliances ### 40. Intruder - Just works **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Scott F. | Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Simplicity - We were set up in just a few minutes. Scans were underway in less than 15 minutes. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** The whole platform was pretty self-explanatory except for some of the reporting and remediation. Even though we were quickly able to get support on and 5-minute walk thru solved that issue. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Continually pen testing. ### 41. Intruder is super easy to use! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer & Network Security | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** The simplicity of the platform around a complex topic is refreshing and simple to use. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Whitelabel reporting would be very helpful. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Customer vulnerability scans and reporting for compliance ### 42. Simple to set-up, great for peace of mind **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** - Intruder is very easy to set-up - The constant scans make me feel secure - I like being alerted when threats are detected: I don't need to check, I'll be told - Slack integration is useful - For the value we receive from it, I think it's very well priced - Great customer support **What do you dislike about Intruder?** I've not found anything I would like to improve. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Round-the-clock security vulnerability detection: proactively telling me if there's a vulnerability in our estate, rather than me having to run yearly pen tests, and manually discover the issues manually. ### 43. Such a great easy way to wrap your head around security **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Broadcast Media | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Very easy setup and configuration. Very easy to understand how to deal with issues and what could be improved within your infrastructure. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Not really anything to dislike. If I had to say something then perhaps the way the data is displayed could be better but I don't know how much clearer it could be. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** General penetration testing and being able to identify things that should be of concern that we might not be able to identify internally. As it's is running often you will know your risks fast. ### 44. Launch and Forget System Security **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nathan D. | CTO & Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Intruder?** Very easy to get set up - registration was easy, and the AWS integration was well documented and didn't take long. Once set up, the cyber analysis on our systems is very comprehensive, and the reports and regular email updates on emerging threats that have been scanned give excellent reassurance. Price is also very good too. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Not a whole lot, to be honest. The reports could be a little more detailed - maybe showing common threats specific to your systems/operating systems as the general cookie-cutter statements about OWASP, etc. **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** Penetration tests are expensive, and only look at a snapshot of your system when it was tested. Having a vulnerability scanner working around the clock to make sure everything is in order gives great peace of mind. ### 45. Intruder is a great tool which makes my life much easier as CISO **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erdal O. | CISO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Intruder?** It's Powerful and Very Easy To Use, does the job well. **What do you dislike about Intruder?** Reports can be confusing in the beginning, but once you get use to it all good **What problems is Intruder solving and how is that benefiting you?** A vulnerability Scanner is a must for every organization ### 46.
