Room For Improvement

Comet requires UI improvements, faster performance, stronger security, better integrations, enhanced learning resources, and more competitive pricing.
Users seek cost predictability, faster responses, better integrations, improved triaging, communication, invite guidelines, and flexible payouts.
It needs to be smarter, utilizing better AI engines to combine data from various sources, and improve the intelligence of its answers, creativity, and document creation capabilities.
Manager & Co-Founder at Arido
Comet can be improved by being more stable and providing security features similar to Brave.
Cloud Operations Engineer at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Comet needs smarter algorithms to understand user inquiries and provide better reasoning steps.
Senior Data Scientist at Evolvision Technologies
More advanced AI capabilities would help prioritize reports, reduce false positives, and speed up the validation.
Senior software engineer at Simplifyvms
There are no clear guidelines for being invited to programs and conferences.
dApp Auditor at Hacken
Sometimes new users don't receive invites just because they are new, despite potentially being very skilled hackers, so I feel new users should get more chances and opportunities.

Setup Cost

Comet provides affordable, scalable cloud-based pricing on AWS Marketplace, with unlimited team support and straightforward subscription plans.
HackerOne is cost-effective for hunters, typically funded by companies, with a 20% fee on awards, making it affordable.
I found it easy to understand the pricing and subscription models for faster integration.
Senior Data Scientist at Evolvision Technologies
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that I am using Perplexity, the pro version, which is connected to Comet, and together they provide me with very good results at a cost of only twenty dollars, which is acceptable to me.
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
The cost is rated as one since there is no need to pay anything, not even a fee or commission.
dApp Auditor at Hacken
I have not experienced any costs since I use HackerOne independently, just logging into the site, hunting bugs, and submitting them without any expenses.
Senior ICT Security Consultant at Applied Principles Limited
 

Valuable Features

Comet offers experiment tracking, AI task automation, and collaboration tools, enhancing productivity and reducing manual efforts in ML projects.
HackerOne excels in vulnerability tracking, researcher engagement, and integration, enhancing security through a global ethical hacker community.
The feature that keeps tabs open is great because they are updated and still on the same page where I left off, which is super helpful, allowing me to quickly return to what I was working on.
Manager & Co-Founder at Arido
It has transformed the workflow because fewer people are needed for some tasks, and the automation of tasks means that not much human effort is required.
Cloud Operations Engineer at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
This setup significantly reduces task efficiency in high latency scenarios, providing dynamic websites, faster responses, quicker solutions, and smoother searches compared to typical browsing methods.
Senior Data Scientist at Evolvision Technologies
It has a very simple user interface, and it gives you a quick response—if you submit a bug, someone reaches out to you within minutes, telling you they will verify the bug, and it can be verified in just a few days, sometimes even less than a day, which stands out for me.
Senior ICT Security Consultant at Applied Principles Limited
HackerOne is a very good platform with the trust of different companies including Shopify, PayPal, and Uber.
Senior software engineer at Simplifyvms
I find bug bounty programs most valuable for our organization because they invite researchers from around the globe to find bugs in our environment, allowing us to fix various severity vulnerabilities or bugs that, if left unaddressed, could lead to losing customers.

student at a university with 5,001-10,000 employees
Organizing research experiments has improved and supports faster model comparison and learning
My experience with Comet has been very positive, but there are a few areas where it could be improved. One area is the learning curve for new users. Some of the more advanced features can feel overwhelming at first, especially for students who are new to machine learning experiment tracking. More beginner-friendly tutorials and guided onboarding would help. I would also like to see more customization options for dashboards and visualizations, making it easier to create views tailored to specific projects. Another improvement would be deeper integration with commonly used collaboration tools, which would streamline project documentation and team workflows. There are a few additional areas where Comet could improve. From a performance perspective, I occasionally notice that dashboards with a large number of experiments can take longer to load or navigate. Regarding documentation, while the available resources are helpful, I would appreciate more beginner-focused examples, step-by-step tutorials, and real-world use cases. For support, my experience has generally been good, but having more community resources, discussion forums, webinars, or educational content specifically aimed at students and researchers would be valuable.

Crowdsourced security has strengthened our bug discovery and improved vulnerability response
HackerOne is already doing well, although I believe implementing stricter SLAs for the time to first response and time to bounty would help prevent researchers' burnout, especially regarding duplicate submissions. I suggest systematic bug rewards because currently, if a researcher finds one bug in multiple places, they often only get paid for one. Improving the handling of systemic vulnerabilities would encourage deeper research. Additionally, improving multi-currency and crypto payout options would help make the platform more accessible globally.
