Vendr community insights for HackerOne

Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"We received a 25% discount at renewal when we upgraded from the $50K to $100K tier; this discount was contingent on signing by the end of their quarter/year."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"HackerOne implementation time for PenTest is about 4-5 weeks. We were able to get a 10% discount in exchange for an EOQ signature."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"The supplier offered us a 35% discount as we leveraged the overall size of our contract as well as alternatives in the space such as Crowdstrike and SentinelOne."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"At renewal, HackerOne attempted to reduce our discount level on the PenTest subscription from 25% to 20%. We were initially told that more than 20% discount requires a multi-year contract and that an 8% cost increase is standard for 1y renewals to cover for inflation. We leveraged competition to push back on this and secured a flat renewal (25% discount) on a 1 year contract."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"HackerOne was able to extend a 20% discount for an EOM signature. We are just starting with the Triage service but will likely use the BugBounty program later down the road in which the rep said additional discounting would be available. We're very excited about HackerOne being able to help us get things up and running given our short staff hours."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"HackerOne was able to give us a 28% discount on a new purchase in exchange for an end of month signature. Our rep also said that a 24 month contract is another lever for discount."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"With our renewal approaching, we were able to maintain our current 20% discount and avoid any further increase, provided we commit to a multi-year agreement at this rate by the end of August."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"committing to a 24-month contract with HackerOne, we've secured annual pricing instead of the initial upfront payment that was offered."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"The original renewal proposal included a YoY uplift. This negotiation took several rounds but using threat of direct competition with a lower proposal from BugCrowd and citing issues with SLAs we were able to successfully negotiate a less-than-flat renewal and 21% savings."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"By leveraging our budget requirements we successfully secured a flat renewal offer for the HackerOne subscription."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"HackerOne offered a flat renewal out of the gate after reviewing our usage together and noting that it was lower than expected over our initial term."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Upon renewal, our previous discount was decreased. We advocated for a reduction, referencing budget allocation from the previous contract cost. To avoid a potential evaluation process, HackerOne retained the previous 8% discount, resulting in a renewal with no price increase"
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"HackerOne originally tried to remove our 1-time 35% discount at renewal. We leveraged end of year signature to secure a 25% discount for a 12 month renewal term."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Hackerone was imposing a 19% uplift on a one-year renewal. We were able to secure a flat renewal + an additional discount by leveraging a three year term. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"HackerOne decreased our discount at renewal from ~25% to ~21%. They stated this was as a result of price increases, but the list price on our order form was represented as the same from last year to this year. We pushed back but as the discounts are represented as 'One Time' we weren't able to maintain our previous discount level."
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"Hackerone added in an uplift from $68k to $72k on a 1 year contract. I advised their team to push back to remain pricing at $68k. Hackerone agreed without much pushback. "
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
"We were able to get the auto-renew language removed for the upcoming term "
Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago

Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago

Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
