HackerOne vs. Ivanti Security Controls

It is one of the good platforms for security researchers to submit bugs and other vulnerabilities, it however, has some challenges, in terms of un-verified and duplicate submissions.

Agentless patching is the best of all the products I've used. The real-time updates that don't require re-scanning after each step is great.

• Filter for spammy bug reports
• Nice central interface
• Payment/reward system is nice

• Trusted ownership checking is a good way to implement effective basic protection.
• Patching is important today to react quickly to security problems. With Security Controls, it's easier than ever before.
• One console for whole security.

• A lot of duplicate bugs get reported, although it does offer automatic suggestion of previously reported bugs that may be duplicates, it is far from perfect.
• Anyone can report bugs, a lot of them are not verified before submission. This sometimes leads to a lot of time spent in verifying if the bug is really actionable.
• Each submission has to be treated with equal potential, a lot of time, some time gets invested in vulnerabilities that aren't as important as some others.

• Performance of the console when using agentless machines.
• The console layout is a bit cumbersome - would be better if all functions were accessible from one screen.
• Common deployment examples to assist with deployment types.

Support wasn't used as the cost didn't justify the expense. We have yet to use the support.

These were very close and we liked HackerOne better. For a time we did have both and we felt the need to consolidate the information into one platform and end of life our internal offering. Overall we've been fairly happy with HackerOne.

Since we have been using Application Control for about 15 years, it is, of course, the best solution for us. We also looked at other products (RES One Workspace), but they didn't convince us. Some features of RES were good and are now part of the User Workspace Manager. The Microsoft solution seems too complicated to us and does not have the advantages of Trusted Ownership Checking.

• Bugs that can't be tracked internally are submitted by external researchers, which is an important factor for security vulnerabilities.
• Even if the bugs reported are duplicates, there still is provision to award reputation points, that keep the researchers engaged.
• It also requires a lot of verification and validation, as a lot of the submissions are unverified to begin with.

• Reduced amount of operating hours for administration of patching.
