Performance of Hackrate Across Market Features

Hackrate Likes & Dislikes

I like that it's like it's running on autopilot

New approach - extending the normal service of bug bounty.

According to the other market players, this service is more affordable and as they are local, they could support us very well.

It would be nice to see the unconfirmed reports on the dashboard too, because they can be good product feedbacks

Some of the tooling is new and still evolving, however all requests were quickly addressed and we could provide input

It's still maturing, therefore the negotiation process still needs to be fine-tuned.
