Pros

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

"Bugcrowd has programs that disclose rewards and invite researchers to new programs."
"I would rate Bugcrowd a ten out of ten."
"I believe Bugcrowd is highly stable."
"Working on Bugcrowd has made me a better security engineer since it provides a competitive environment to report successful vulnerabilities."

"The platform is stable."
"Based on my experience, I would recommend the Fortinet Penetration Testing Service, especially to those who have other Fortinet solutions, as it integrates well with Fortinet Security Fabric."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is room for improvement in Bugcrowd's response time when customer input is needed for resolving tickets."
"The triaging process has slowed down compared to three years ago."
"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. They should improve the responsibility type and response time of their customer support, especially when the issue is urgent."
"The product needs to enhance the interaction feature in terms of speed. Sometimes, when we need to get a virtual view of websites, the speed of notifications between customers and the site works slowly."
"I think the Fortinet Penetration Testing could be further improved by making it more robust than what it is now."
"The price should be improved."
