Senior Engineering Manager - Platform Team at eTender Inc
Crowdsourced triage has uncovered critical website vulnerabilities and continuously improves our security posture
Bugcrowd could be improved or enhanced as they seem to have a lot of internal churn at the moment, so they could be more stable and more customer-focused. By customer-focused, I mean they are not very good at communicating what is changing on their side to their customers. I am now on my fourth account manager within one year. My latest call with them was with the fourth account manager saying there have been many changes and apologizing that no one I have spoken to in the past is on this call, but going forwards it will be them. With the fourth account manager in a year, it is hard to trust that message.

Useful for data storage and API calls
Currently, the organization is not utilizing the Cisco Security Cloud for its live web applications or real-time traffic. My clients mostly use the tool for enterprise security. If you are a new user or student interested in security cloud systems, consider approaching Cisco Cloud for a free account. I rate the product a four out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would rate Bugcrowd a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable aspect of Bugcrowd is that it provides a long list of different websites or web applications where I can report vulnerabilities."
"One of the features I like most about Bugcrowd is the ability to create a report in a very easy way."
"I believe Bugcrowd is highly stable."
"Bugcrowd has programs that disclose rewards and invite researchers to new programs."
"Bugcrowd's support team is very active and supportive."
"Working on Bugcrowd has made me a better security engineer since it provides a competitive environment to report successful vulnerabilities."
"Bugcrowd's use of crowdsourced hackers has helped in discovering unique vulnerabilities."
"The product offers a user-friendly interface, making it easy for newcomers and experienced professionals to work on the platform. Its most valuable feature is the security layer."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in Bugcrowd's response time when customer input is needed for resolving tickets. If this time could be minimized, it would be very helpful."
"Bugcrowd could be improved or enhanced as they seem to have a lot of internal churn at the moment, so they could be more stable and more customer-focused."
"Bugcrowd should provide more access to the reports, similar to HackerOne, allowing for full disclosure once a bug is resolved, so researchers can learn from them. They should improve the responsibility type and response time of their customer support, especially when the issue is urgent."
"The triaging process has slowed down compared to three years ago. It now takes more time to resolve a reported vulnerability and receive the payout."
"Cisco Security Cloud needs to improve its pricing."
