Head of Development and Consulting at Logalty
Protects problematic libraries; sorely lacking in customer services
Kiuwan lacks decent support, it's very bad. A couple of years ago an American company bought Kiuwan and support became non-existent. It's a big part of why we're looking to move to another product. We have questions regarding false positives and nobody responds to our tickets. They don't have any answers. If you're looking for a cheaper solution and don't require support, it might be okay, but a large end company that has a lot of questions about how the developers are programming will have trouble.

Head of Security Architecture at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Onboarding developers successfully while improving code security through IDE integration
Regarding room for improvement, we have some problems when onboarding new projects because the build process has to be done in a certain way, as Veracode analyzes the binaries and not the code by itself alone. If the process is not configured correctly, it doesn't work. That's one of the things that we are discussing with Veracode. Something positive that we've been able to do is submit formal feature requests to them, and they are working on them; they've already solved some of them. This encourages us to propose new ideas and improvements. Another improvement that we asked for this use case is to be able to configure how Veracode Fix proposes and fixes because sometimes it makes proposals using libraries that go against our architecture design made by the enterprise architecture team. For example, we want them to propose using another library, and that's something we already asked Veracode, and they are working on it. We want to specify when you see this kind of vulnerability, you can only propose these two options.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found the interface to be perfect."
"Can help in reducing the number of false positives."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its extensive reporting capabilities and user-friendly interface."
"The static scan and the detailed reports, which include issue information and permissions, are the most valuable features."
"The integration of static testing with our Azure DevOps CI pipeline was easy."
"Veracode impacts the overall security posture by maintaining data integrity, ensuring we are not exposed to threats from third-party libraries with known vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable features are that you can do static analysis and dynamic analysis on a scheduled basis and that you can push the findings into JIRA."
"Veracode has improved my organization's ability to fix flaws because before Veracode, we did not even know about issues from the security side."
"Veracode static analysis allows us to pinpoint issues - from a simple hard-coded test password, to more serious issues - and saves us lot of time. For example, it raises a flag about a problematic third-party DLL before development invests time heavy using it."
"The reporting being highly accurate is pretty cool. I use another product and I was always looking for answers as to what line, which part of the code, was wrong, and what to do about it. Veracode seems to have a solid database to look things up and a website to look things up."
 

Cons

"The solution has issues detecting intrusive methods."
"The solution is great, but improvement is needed in the number of lines of code allowed, that is the capacity. Pricing can be improved as well."
"The GUI requires significant simplification, as its current complexity creates a steep learning curve for new users."
"Static scanning takes a long time, so you need to patiently wait for the scan to achieve. I also think the software could be more accurate. It isn't 100 percent, so you shouldn't completely rely on Veracode. You need to manually verify its findings."
"The solution could improve the Dynamic Analysis Security Testing(DAST)."
"All areas of the solution could use some improvement."
"It needs better APIs, reporting that I can easily query through the APIs and, preferably, a license model that I can predict."
"The security labs integration has room for improvement."
"Sometimes, the scans halt or drop for some reason, and we need to get help from Veracode to fix it."
"The scanning could be a little faster. The process around three or four minutes, but it would help if it could be further reduced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be improved as well."
"The licensing cost for Veracode is fair."
"The pricing for Veracode is high, making it difficult for beginners to afford."
"It has good, fair licensing. If the price could depend on the scope of its scanning or the languages supported, then that would be better."
"Aside from the standard licensing fees, we also have to pay for a competent Success Manager."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"The licensing and prices were upfront and clear. They stand behind everything that is said during the commercial phase and during the onboarding phase. Even the most irrelevant "that can be done" was delivered, no matter how important the request was."
"Costs are reasonable. No special infrastructure is required and the license model is good."
"Veracode is expensive. Some of its products are expensive. I don't think it's way more expensive than its competitors. The dynamic is definitely worth it, as I think it's cheaper than the competitors. The static scan is a little bit more expensive, around 20 percent more expensive. The manual pen test is more expensive, but it is an expensive service because it's a manual pen test and we also do retests. I don't think it is way more expensive than the competitors, but it's about 15 to 20 percent more expensive."
