Developer training has improved secure coding practices but now needs more advanced challenges
The quiz and the gamification that Codebashing has are the most valuable features or capabilities we have found so far. We have been using it for tournaments, conducting tournaments across the developers to test their knowledge and give them a token of appreciation once any developer has secured a runner up position, first position, and all. It is basically a learning and tournament thing that we provide here with the help of Codebashing. We have been seeing a lot of impact while using Codebashing. Since the vulnerabilities which we identify usually in the code are now less in the trends, the training of Codebashing and learning via Codebashing helps our developers. Codebashing reduces the chances of developers writing vulnerable code rather than writing secure code. It creates an impact on how our developers write code and understand how the vulnerabilities work. Rather than making them understand how the vulnerabilities can be exploited via a practical scenario, Codebashing gives a graphical representation of how and when the flow works, showing how the vulnerabilities work. It gives an impact on that. What we have been seeing is that Codebashing's up-to-date modules have addressed emerging security threats for our organization with the AI trends that we have been using. It allows our developers to make use of secure code AI and not just be relying upon the AI that could produce vulnerable code rather than focusing on the secure code that we can produce with AI and get rid of AI vulnerabilities. That is how it helps.

Security training and detailed code insights have improved our shift-left practices but professional services coordination still needs refinement
There are certain ideas and certain vulnerabilities that you catch, and then it might not get through, and then we pull in under the license availability. There are certain licenses that assure the professional services. Though the team members get in and are sound in knowledge, there are few instances. This is a very corner scenario and I cannot generalize it, but in one specific scenario, it took three or four meetings with them to explain and bring the right person on board, clarify my view, and then they accepted at the very next point. It was kind of a little painful to bring the right person into the discussion. Otherwise, they usually send out developers into it with security knowledge, where I was looking for a security person who understands the core ideology of these vulnerabilities. That is one challenge I had with their professional service.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution has an interactive approach that allows you to quickly receive basic knowledge about vulnerabilities and how they should be fixed."
"I can recommend Checkmarx, in my opinion, they are good; their product is good, it has minimal false positives, they are user-friendly, and they are not complex at all."
"According to the feedback, it's an easy-to-use application tool."
"Codebashing has been supremely helpful in educating engineers and cybersecurity professionals within my team on how to practice secure coding."
"There's a lot of flexibility and there are a lot of configuration options."
"In my opinion, the best features Codebashing offers are early vulnerability discovery, improved defensive coding habits, and catching what automated tests miss."
"From an academic point of view, Codebashing is a very good product because it is based on gamification."
"We have been seeing a lot of impact while using Codebashing, since the vulnerabilities which we identify usually in the code are now less in the trends, the training of Codebashing and learning via Codebashing helps our developers."
"Our developers are more security-aware and are writing better code."
"I like the end-to-end learning experience. That also includes SAST. It has a low false positive rate."
"The best part is that this is all within the web browser, so the developer doesn't have to install any development environments or download anything to work through the training."
"The hands-on training has helped us to tackle modern threats by coding with vulnerabilities in mind from the beginning of a project. It has improved our process overall, and the number of vulnerabilities has been reduced."
"Veracode gives us a comprehensive analysis and reporting structure."
"It is one of the best solutions in the market to help train the developers."
"The installation is straightforward."
"The features are so extensive, which is why they are ahead of the game, and the reason I continue to use this solution."
 

Cons

"From my perspective, Codebashing might use some enhancement. Clients should be able to handle their tests directly according to their needs. That aspect of Codebashing is currently inflexible. Customers would wish to sign, compile, or manage their tests in accordance with their requirements. It is just not possible."
"It would be helpful if the solution included tests or exams that would allow you to study, for example, all Java vulnerabilities, and then afterward test your knowledge."
"We would like to be able to add our own lessons to the platform because right now we can't add our own information."
"The user interface could be updated and refreshed. It has the appearance of being very basic."
"If customers would be able to define their own quizzes or exams, it would be very good. That is the only missing part that I see - customer based scenarios, examinations and quizzes."
"There are some lacking vulnerabilities in Codebashing platform itself, making it both advantageous and disadvantageous."
"Codebashing is powerful, but it is not perfect."
"For me being a security professional, the trainings that we did and the questions we did were comparatively a low hanging fruit and seemed very easy for us."
"Once we worked on IAST, but they were asking an upfront investment of 50k, which was a little higher and it will not be an easy choice for most organizations. It is quite expensive."
"I would like the team to make users like me aware of the new features sooner, so we can get the most from this product. Otherwise, there is no disadvantage."
"Its ability to handle more types of files and making it work better with databasing and other API could be improved."
"Web application development covers much of the industry, but there are also developers working with these other technologies that could benefit from a learning environment more specific to their technologies."
"Veracode Security Labs should cover more than only the OWASP Top 10."
"There could be better integration between the API and the pipeline systems."
"The only area of this solution that needs improvement is the pricing for startups."
"It would be good if there were more assignment problems in the inventory, as well as more randomness in the coding examples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would prefer it if their pricing would be a bit cheaper. This is not my personal comment, this is the comment of the market."
"As a developer, though I am unaware of the cost of the solution, the product is expensive since I faced some trouble upgrading to Python for Codebashing."
"This solution is not freeware and more expensive than similar products."
"Licenses are renewed annually."
"It's expensive. Know that going in. Your organization, your programmers, and your product will be better for it though."
"The pricing for qualified startups should only charge for Veracode Developer Training."
"They have a Community Edition of this product that can be used free of charge."
