Faizan Nehal - PeerSpot reviewer
Long list of potential reports supports practical skill development
The most valuable aspect of Bugcrowd is that it provides a long list of different websites or web applications where I can report vulnerabilities. Bugcrowd ensures that if vulnerabilities are reported through their platform, payment is guaranteed. Additionally, the platform aids in transferring money directly into my bank account, making the entire process smooth. Working on Bugcrowd has made me a better security engineer since it provides a competitive environment to report successful vulnerabilities.
Edgar  Paez - PeerSpot reviewer
Work from anywhere and backup easily while being practical
I recommend Dropbox, yet not for all of the features it has. I am a basic user. In a personal mode, we have about 100 employees, and maybe 20 of them use Dropbox as a personal backup system. ShareFile is more secure than Dropbox. Five years ago, ShareFile was qualified as having better security control, access privilege management, and version control recovery, among many features that we were using for private documentation. Overall, I would rate Dropbox an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Bugcrowd's support team is very active and supportive."
"One of the features I like most about Bugcrowd is the ability to create a report in a very easy way."

"The most valuable aspect of Bugcrowd is that it provides a long list of different websites or web applications where I can report vulnerabilities."

"Working on Bugcrowd has made me a better security engineer since it provides a competitive environment to report successful vulnerabilities."
"Bugcrowd has programs that disclose rewards and invite researchers to new programs."

"Dropbox is a very easy-to-use site that allows me to save files to the cloud for retrieval from almost any device (laptop, iPhone, iPad, etc...)."
"We don't really use the collaboration features because we have only a small organization. Dropbox is valuable having the hard drive space available, and the access to be able to upload and access the content."
"One of the advantages of Dropbox is that you can share files with people who are external to your organization without any additional costs. It is also easy to use, stable, and trustworthy."
"I had a good experiment with the technical support from Dropbox."
"Setting up DropBox is straightforward, and one person can do it in less than five minutes."
"I think Dropbox is a good option for Windows users because it's easy to use in Windows and a user can access all other products and software."
"The security is very good."
 

Cons

"The triaging process has slowed down compared to three years ago."
"There is room for improvement in Bugcrowd's response time when customer input is needed for resolving tickets."
"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."
"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 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."
"It is difficult to set up. I'd rate the solution maybe a six or seven out of ten."
"The solution could improve by being more secure and having more storage."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Dropbox could make the installation and the log of what has changed in a file easier. Showing logs could be more accessible."
"One area of improvement would be to allow multiple users to edit a file simultaneously and see edits in real time, similar to OneDrive."
"2 Gb of free space and then a not so cheap subscription (also if the competitors have similar proposals for customers)."
"They can do the scanning of viruses, and they can also do malware detection when they do the synchronization."
"They can maybe provide a bit more free space. By default, they give you 2 Gigabytes. The storage space could be a bit more."
