Product security tests for switches and router sections

Codenomicon Defensics should be more advanced for the testing sector. It should be somewhat easy and flexible to install. What I see in the documentation isn't that. Even if something doesn't malfunction, sometimes it is hard to install and execute. The product needs video documentation. This would help a lot more.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is related to US usage with TLS contact fees, i.e. how more data center connections will help lower networking costs."

"We have found multiple issues in our embedded system network protocols, related to buffer overflow. We have reduced some of these issues."

"Whatever the test suit they give, it is intelligent. It will understand the protocol and it will generate the test cases based on the protocol: protocol, message sequence, protocol, message structure... Because of that, we can eliminate a lot of unwanted test cases, so we can execute the tests and complete them very quickly."

"The analysis of the vulnerabilities and the results are the most valuable features."

"For use cases where our company buys a product with the source code, but only the final executables or the binaries, only Veracode is able to work on that type of tool."

"The coverage of the last vulnerabilities reported."

"The coverage of backdoors attacks on security that's the most valuable for my clients."

"We like the fact that all the issues are identified and that Veracode provides sufficient information on how to resolve them."

"Valuable features for us are the static scanning of the software, which is very important to us; the ability to set policy profiles that are specific to us; the software composition analysis, to give us reports on known vulnerabilities from our third-party components."

"The most valuable feature of Veracode is the binary scan feature for auditing, which allows us to audit the software without the source code."

"It has improved the quality of code being delivered for test and its vulnerability resolutions timeline has improved."

Cons

"It does not support the complete protocol stack. There are some IoT protocols that are not supported and new protocols that are not supported."

"Sometimes, when we are testing embedded devices, when we trigger the test cases, the target will crash immediately. It is very difficult for us to identify the root cause of the crash because they do not provide sophisticated tools on the target side. They cover only the client-side application... They do not have diagnostic tools for the target side. Rather, they have them but they are very minimal and not very helpful."

"Codenomicon Defensics should be more advanced for the testing sector. It should be somewhat easy and flexible to install."

"I've found that Veracode is not particularly suitable for Dynamic Application Security Testing."

"I think if they could improve the operations around accepted vulnerabilities, we would see improvements in our productivity."

"The user interface could be more sleek. Some scanning requirements aren't flexible. Some features take some time for new users to understand (like what exactly "modules" are)."

"The number of false positives could be reduced a lot. For each good result, we are getting somewhere around 15 to 20 false positives."

"There were some additional manual steps or work involved that we should not have needed to do."

"The JIRA integration automation aspect of it could be improved significantly. We want to have a way to create tickets that are going to allow people to work through those flaws that we're finding. We don't want people to feel like they're missing out on something or that they're not following directions in the right way."

"The policies you have, where you can tune the findings you get, don't allow you not to file tickets about certain findings. It will always report the findings, even if you know you're not that concerned about a library writing to a system log, for example. It will keep raising them, even though you may have a ticket about it. The integration will keep updating the ticket every time the scan runs."

"The false positive rates were quite high in our case."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is a bit expensive."

"Compared to other similar products, the licensing and pricing are definitely competitive. If you see Checkmarx as the market leader, then we are talking about Veracode being a fraction of the cost. You also have to consider your hidden costs: you need a team to maintain it, a server, and resources. From that point of view, Veracode is great because the cost is really a fraction of many competitors."

"If I compare the pricing with other software tools, then it is quite competitive. Whatever the price is, they have always given us a good discount."

"It is an expensive solution, but it's the best solution available on the market. If you want something at the top, you have to pay a bit more than the average."

"The product’s price is a bit higher compared to other solutions."

"The Veracode price model is based on application profiles, which is how you package your components for scanning."

"I think licensing needs to be changed or updated so that it works with adjustments. Pricing is expensive compared to the amount of scanning we perform."

"Veracode provides value for the cost, with no additional charges apart from the standard licensing fee."

"Its pricing is fair."
