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.

Unified dashboards have streamlined code‑to‑cloud risk tracking and reduced manual reviews
The best features of Wiz Code that I appreciate the most include their entire dashboarding and the seamless integration with different DevOps tooling like GitHub or Azure DevOps. It seamlessly integrates, allowing you to run scanners directly onto the machines without consuming too many resources, and the recategorization of vulnerabilities is absolutely wonderful, giving you a complete attack path, which is something I love about Wiz Code because it details the entire lateral movement of the issue, whether it is a complete shift-left or shift-right, serving as the differentiators compared to other tools in the market. When I talk about ROI with Wiz Code, it almost cuts you down to 20% to 25% of the daily effort needed in terms of FTE. If you are working with around 100 developers or engineers, you might come down to 60 to 70 engineers, with the rest completely automated by removing false positives, showcasing where the USP comes in.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps me to get new sales, profits, and other benefits."
"HackerOne is a very good platform with the trust of different companies including Shopify, PayPal, and Uber, which creates a stronger brand perception and competitive market positioning."
"HackerOne is larger than WebCloud and has a better reputation than BugCloud, which results in a smoother process."
"HackerOne has been the right fit for our current situation from both a functionality and cost-effectiveness perspective."
"The most valuable feature of HackerOne is its variety of programs. These programs provide depth into various areas, such as mobile, API, and websites."
"HackerOne is larger than WebCloud and has a better reputation than BugCloud, which results in a smoother process."
"If you have a very critical vulnerability, some good companies will acknowledge it and pay you accordingly based on severity."
"I notice a return on investment through the group of researchers at HackerOne identifying vulnerabilities, saving us money, time, and manpower, with the efficiency of HackerOne allowing them to accomplish in three to four hours what would take two red teamers a whole day."
"The best features of Wiz Code that I appreciate the most include their entire dashboarding and the seamless integration with different DevOps tooling like GitHub or Azure DevOps, allowing you to run scanners directly onto the machines without consuming too many resources, and the recategorization of vulnerabilities is absolutely wonderful, giving you a complete attack path, which is something I love about Wiz Code because it details the entire lateral movement of the issue, whether it is a complete shift-left or shift-right, serving as the differentiators compared to other tools in the market."
"In my opinion, all the security features Wiz Code offers are the best."
"Wiz Code has positively impacted my organization through the unified platform that gives the ability to shift left in security and detect issues before they go into production."
"The best features with Wiz Code give you a reasonable picture when it comes to vulnerabilities, which means you see the usual severity levels, you also get to see references on how to remediate vulnerabilities, and the fact that it has a visual dashboard helps all stakeholders, especially folks who need to remediate, to get that picture correctly and then take action."
 

Cons

"Triage response time is a significant issue. The response time and triage speed are not fast enough, and this is causing many people to leave HackerOne."
"HackerOne provides a "HackBot" which helps identify other relevant reports, including duplicates, public reports from other companies, etc. However, the functionality is limited and it would be nice to integrate it with broader services offered like auto responses, triggers, etc."
"Response time can be improved. The HackerOne Trust team can be slow to respond sometimes. They're not using AI, which could help reduce the number of duplicate reports."
"Everything has become slower on HackerOne."
"One issue I've experienced is traffic. Many people try to participate when an opportunity with a bounty of around 1,000-15,000 dollars comes up. In this case, the first person to report the vulnerability gets the bounty. If a second person reports the same vulnerability, they are marked as duplicated instead of receiving some recognition. The second person also invested time finding the issue, so I think this can be improved."
"However, I reduced my rating by one mark because a proper internal triage team should be in place, not as a replacement for internal security controls."
"The ability to view the conversation between the triagers and the programs will be really good."
"Customer support can improve, as there are instances of ghosting that need to be addressed."
"Regarding pricing, I would say that the pricing model is a little bit hefty on the pocket."
"I have a big improvement in mind for Wiz Code, not a small improvement."
