Sentiment score
6.5
Veracode optimizes development by automating vulnerability detection, reducing costs, improving security, compliance, and enhancing software reliability.
Orca Security significantly improved our visibility from 30% to 100%, enabling better security posture improvements rather than just general cost savings.
Cloud Security Automation Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
This is because you do not need a team of five persons to install and update the agents in thousands of servers.
Cybersecurity Recruitment Specialist at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
I see the benefits of Orca Security immediately because you can see the issues right after deployment, and you can correct the critical issues, so the proof of value is immediate.

The scanners of Veracode bring status of the weaknesses in the current infrastructure. It scans and provides reports regarding the servers, the network, and the applications running on those servers.
Senior Solutions Architect at IDS Comercial
Regarding price, the evaluation should focus on how efficiently they will recover their investment, considering the time saved through the use of Veracode Fix, for example, and the ability to fix code at dev time compared to the problems faced when fixing after the product is already deployed.
Head of Security Architecture at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees
We did see a return on investment with Veracode, as we segregated our remediation efforts, which reduced our time to delivery as well as the number of engineers needed to help us in delivering a secure solution.

I have experienced very little downtime.
Works at Ultraviolet Cyber
If the Veracode server is down, we experience many issues during the scan.
Lead Automation Quality Engineer in Leading UK Bank at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
I have observed that it is not that reliable in terms of security because Veracode was not able to find some security threats in our application that existed since the product was developed.
Software Development Engineer II at Rocket Software
It's not that easy to onboard, but once they have been onboarded on the platform, and the pipeline configured alongside the product configured, it works effectively.
Head of Security Architecture at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Orca Security users seek improvements in automation, usability, integration, reporting, security checks, and alert options, alongside timely updates.
Veracode requires improvements in reducing false positives, enhancing speed, improving integration, flexibility, support, UI, and customer service.
Another improvement is in handling alerts for multiple files with the same CVE; it should provide an option to manage each file separately without affecting others.
Senior Information Security Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
Orca Security could improve in reporting OS package vulnerabilities, such as missing MS patches or Linux patches.
Vulnerability Assessment Analyst at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees
Security in today's age is important, and if a company can afford it, they should get it as it's the most valuable protection against threats.
Software Developer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
If it could be integrated directly with code repositories such as Bitbucket or GitHub, without the need to create a pipeline to upload and decode code, it would simplify the code scan process significantly.
We had issues with scanning large applications. Scanning took a lot of time, so we kept it outside the DevOps pipeline to avoid delaying deployments.
Lead Automation Quality Engineer in Leading UK Bank at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
A nice addition would be if it could be extended for scenarios with custom cleansers.
IT App Security Senior Analyst at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees

Featured Reviews

reviewer2799597 - PeerSpot reviewer
Soc Analyst at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees
Agentless cloud security has improved attack path visibility but still needs stronger real-time blocking
Yes, as per my experience, it has been very helpful. In our organization, we did not find any major or priority one kind of alerts or risks because we had a very good infrastructure structure and cybersecurity architecture built in our organization. Orca Security helped us find what vulnerabilities or gaps existed which we could improve within our architecture. It helped us in such a way that we used to close the open ports and only allowed internal IPs for necessity. For staging environments and for prod we had DOS protection. If network traffic showed that anybody was trying to flood our systems, we would only accept all and our client-related IPs or an approved list of vendor lists we would have. We would get to know where the gaps are and where the improvements we could make. Being an analyst class engineer, I could use my brain in those areas and it was very helpful to have Orca Security in my arsenal.

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.
