Surya Aniketh Tamirisa

Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Consistently maintains vulnerability-free images and integrates effectively with builds

Trivy is very reliable and always has an up-to-date database to scan images and identify vulnerabilities. I integrated it with Jenkins jobs, so every time we run a build, if there is a high, critical, or medium vulnerability, the build is set to fail. This ensures that somebody resolves the issues before the code progresses. This approach helps keep every image in every project we work on vulnerability-free.

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 definitely recommend Trivy."

"Trivy is easy to integrate with CI/CD and can be installed on desktops to scan images."

"What I find valuable is the ease of setup with Trivy, including pre-defined operators that require minimal configuration."

"I can see vulnerabilities in the images of any applications deployed in the Kubernetes environment or as container applications."

"Overall, I would rate Trivy a ten out of ten."

"The vulnerability scanning feature is excellent as it supports various container capabilities like Docker and Sharma."

"The most valuable feature of Trivy is its easy integration with the CI/CD pipeline."

"Trivy is very reliable and always has an up-to-date database to scan images and identify vulnerabilities."

More Trivy pros

"Static Scanning is the most valuable feature of Veracode."

"The most valuable feature is the seamless automation of Veracode via the pipeline, in comparison to other solutions like Fortify SSC, which are complex to integrate through the pipeline."

"We use Veracode static analysis during development to eliminate vulnerability issues"

"Static code scanning is the most valuable feature."

"It is scalable and quick to deploy into the site and the pipelines. The reports and analytics are good, and the false positive rate is low. It gives true results."

"It eases integration into our workflow. Veracode is part of our Jenkins build, so whenever we build our software, Jenkins will automatically submit the code bundle over to Veracode, which automatically kicks off the static analysis. It sends an email when it's done, and we look at the report."

"Veracode Fix has affected our time to remediate security flaws in cases where we've been able to use it correctly because the proposals were on point, and it's been great."

"The solution's ability to help create secure software is very valuable. We're a zero-trust networking company so we want to have the ability to say that we're practicing security seriously. Having something like Veracode allows us to have confidence when we're speaking to people about our product that we can back up what we're doing with a certification, with a reputable platform, and say, "This is what we're using to scan an application. Here's the number of vulnerabilities that are on an application. And here's the risk that we're accepting.""

More Veracode pros

Cons

"One drawback I have observed with Trivy is the difficulty in building or integrating a UI, particularly for an operator in the NetSuite example."

"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities."

"Trivy is not scalable; however, I have scanned very large projects with it. It is stable but not scalable according to my experience."

"The main area for improvement is in differentiating between OS and application-based vulnerabilities."

"The only problem is that Trivy does not support reporting features such as generating reports in CSV, which is useful for auditing and reporting."

"Trivy generates many false positives, flagging non-existent vulnerabilities. Improvements could include better contextual analysis or granular filtering."

"Trivy can improve by providing an output in PDF format. Additionally, it takes longer to scan container images built with many layers."

"Having little experience can hinder the ability to connect it to a user-friendly UI effectively."

More Trivy cons

"The current version of the application does not support testing for API."

"I would like to see expanded coverage for supporting more platforms, frameworks, and languages."

"I have contacted the technical support and customer support. With Veracode's technical support, for some issues, it has been really difficult for them to understand the problem, and they ask us to do some tests we've already told them we completed in the first ticket."

"A nice addition would be if it could be extended for scenarios with custom cleansers."

"We connected with Veracode's support a couple of times, and we got a different answer each time."

"The scans were sometimes not accurate in version 2022. There were some false positives in the vulnerability reports. We used to get false positives, and we were responsible for checking all of the alerts and determining whether they were true positives or false positives. They might have already improved it. If they have not, they can look into how to mitigate false positives."

"It would be better if we had a channel for direct communication with the engineering team to speed up the process of providing feedback."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"The price of Veracode Static Analysis is expensive. There is an annual fee to use the solution and the company is upfront with the pricing model and fees."

"The pricing is a bit high."

"Veracode's pricing is on the higher end, but it is acceptable."

"Veracode is a very expensive product."

"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."

"For our company, the price is reasonable for the benefits that we get."

"I think it's a great value. It's at a price point that a small company like mine can afford to use versus, if it was too exorbitant, I wouldn't be able to use this product. The cost of the license is small in comparison to the value it brings"
