“Great, But can do better”

3.0
Jun 20, 2023
In my opinion, Ridgebot is a good penetration testing software but still has a long way to go. The software's ML capability is quite advanced. It learns from previous assessments and continuously improves its ability to detect vulnerabilities. However, unlike other similar tools that I've used before, its coverage for emerging technologies and niche frameworks is quite limited.

RidgeBot Likes & Dislikes

Like

Ridgebot is a great tool for pentesters for covering the vulnerabilities that are not too complex, thus making it better for human pentesters to focus in finding the complex vulnerabilities inside the organization.

Like

Great at simulating attack scenarios.

Like

Automated exploitation, attack kill chain visualisation, proof of compromise, ease of use

Dislike

Limited depth compared to human pentesters, requires careful configuration to avoid service interruptions, and we are dependent on the updates of the vendor.

Dislike

It's speed for scanning large applications is a bit slow. Limited threat detection capabilities

Dislike

Setup and costs, comprehensive API penetration testing

    Ridgebot Tool Assists Pentest Teams With Vulnerability Mining and Simulation Modules

    4.0
    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.

    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.
