RidgeBot Likes & Dislikes

Like

What i like most about ridgebot is its ability to simulate real-world attacks in an automated and continuous way. It goes beyond theory or basic scanning -it actively exceutes tests like a real attacker would, giving you a much more accurate and actionable view of your risk. Plus, its Al-driven approach can uncover complex exloitation paths that traditional testing might miss. It's like having a proactive pentester that's always on.

Like

It's scalable and customized reporting mechanism andalso its cost effective

Like

AI Features Auto-exploits Enumeration No False-positives

Dislike

What i like least about ridgebot is that, although it's very powerful, it requires careful initial configuration to avoid false positives or potential impact on sensitive systems.

Dislike

If we talked about its deployment and impletation it is bit complex and also no proper cumunity is there to address the issues.

Dislike

My main issue is the way that ridgebot deals with authentication, creating a way to automatically renew tokens would be great for the tool.

    Reporting System Performs Well But Authentication Handling Needs Improvement

    4.0
    Aug 13, 2025
    My experience with Ridgebot was really positive! The automated vuln scanning is efficient, and the reporting system is good as well. Not having to worry about false positives is also a major positive for Ridgebot. My main issue was in the authentication part, having to deal with the tokens makes the automation part a little bit annoying.

    Ridgebot Reveals Real-Time Attack Paths and Streamlines Security Demonstrations

    5.0
    Jul 31, 2025
    I've done presentations and demos of Ridgebot to our clients, and still, the moment it hits the real infra and show actual exploit paths, we were amazed. It's not just scan and report. It acts, shows what an attacker can do right now. I usually set it up in an under an hour for POCs. Most clients get value quick, especially when they see how little noise it gives back. Not perfect, but it proves that this solution works. This makes my job way easier.

    Nov 18, 2025
    I was involved in the evaluation of Ridgebot for a customer that wanted to implement this adversarial simulation tool for their environment. I can confidently say it does come in very handy for the pentest teams. The vulnerability mining and automated exploitation modules do help well with pentest and red team exercises.
