HackerOne Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
dApp Auditor at Hacken4.5I use HackerOne for finding and reporting vulnerabilities, benefiting from its larger platform and better reputation. Although rewards are substantial and costless, newer researchers face challenges with invitations, and the process has become slower compared to other platforms.
SAP Security and GRC Consultant at Skillmine Technology Consulting4.5I use HackerOne for freelancing, doing penetration testing on websites and earning through bug bounties. It's user-friendly, offers practice environments, but could improve by recognizing duplicate reports. It's more efficient than Bugcrowd due to quicker response times and simpler reporting.
Security Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.5I use HackerOne in my downtime to earn extra cash alongside my full-time job. I appreciate its direct contact for issue resolution, though visibility into triager-program communications would improve understanding. I haven't used other solutions before HackerOne.

QA Engineering Lead at Confidential3.0I use HackerOne for vulnerability assessment and testing, finding its variety of programs in areas like mobile, API, and websites particularly valuable. However, the response time could improve, and AI could help reduce duplicate reports.
