Security Manager at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Stable solution that has increased the maturity of our security program
I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities. For the most part, it fits our needs but a little more flexibility would be great. I would also like to have more information on AI. If we start to deploy AI in our infrastructure, does it cover that as well?

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

"The simple fact that it puts us in a better place for identifying our vulnerabilities is a form of ROI."
"The stability is great. We haven't had any issues at all with it."
"Go ahead and use Hailstorm as it's the best dynamic code analysis tool one can invest in and it gives a better ROI than most."
"Trustwave App Scanner makes it really easy and convenient for us to notify the website owners before the scans, as well as providing the scan results."
"This scanner was more efficient compared to its competitors."
"Web application security testing is a valuable feature."
"Within SCA, there is an extremely valuable feature called vulnerable methods. It is able to determine within a vulnerable library which methods are vulnerable. That is very valuable, because in the vast majority of cases where a library is vulnerable, none of the vulnerable methods are actually used by the code. So, if we want to prioritize the way open source libraries are updated when a library is found vulnerable, then we want to prioritize the libraries which have vulnerable methods used within the code."
"Veracode Fix is a new feature that functions similarly to auto-remediation for low or medium flaw codes."
"I like its integration with GitHub. I like using it from GitHub. I can use the GitHub URL and find out the vulnerabilities."
"Provides consistent evaluation and results without huge fluctuations in false positives or negatives."
"I found the solution pretty straightforward, and I'm not terribly technical."
"Veracode provides visibility into application status at every phase of development through static analysis."
"That it is a cloud-based solution is very valuable to us. We don't need that hardware running our scans and hosting the environment to be scanned. Also, the technology, the static scanning versus dynamic scanning produces a much better result, a more accurate result."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities."
"Used to crash/freeze due to poor performance, not sure about newer versions."
"It was complex as I have to make sure all the requirements are in place before on-boarding Hailstorm."
"I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities."
"One feature that I would really want is the number of total applications in the web GUI; after selecting a filter on the applications, it would be really helpful if it shows the number of applications."
"It doesn't support modern web technologies such as GWT, Angular, JS etc."
"The solution should include monthly guidelines, a calendar, or a newsletter highlighting the top vulnerabilities and how to resolve them using Veracode. Its policies should be up-to-date with NIST standards and OWASP policies."
"Veracode should provide more flexibility in its pricing and licensing modules so that it could be more affordable for all types of projects and not only for very active mission-critical projects."
"Maybe the pipeline scanning doesn't support enough languages. It might only support Java and Python only, so that could be improved."
"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."
"There is much to be desired of UI and user experience. The UI is very slow. With every click, it just takes a lot of time for the pages to load. We have seen this consistently since getting this solution. The UI and UX are very disjointed."
"The scanning process could be more streamlined as it has certain limitations when performing manual scans."
"The reporting was detailed, but there were some things that were missing. It showed us on which line an error was found, but it could have been more detailed."
"Veracode needs to improve its integration with other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Veracode is a very expensive product."
"Pricing/licensing is complicated."
"I don't really get too involved in the cost sides of things that's in my job, I'm more of a technical focus, but I have heard from my manager and a couple other people that the solution is quite expensive."
"Veracode's price is reasonable."
"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."
"The licensing cost for Veracode is fair."
"Veracode's price is high. I would like them to better optimize their pricing."
"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."
