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?

Monthly scans have provided baseline security but still miss critical vulnerabilities

Veracode can improve to stand in this market. They do not have to do much; they just need to improve their UI experience and add more documentation within the application rather than just creating documentation pages on different websites. They need to ensure their web application guides whoever uses it. Since whoever uses Veracode must be a technical person, they just need to guide them to the actual points. They can also improve their security capabilities by adding more filters to identify what vulnerabilities their application has. They need to improve their scanning engine to scan for more critical defects. Also, the integration part can be enhanced by adding features to integrate with a CLI, such as introducing a CLI version or a Jenkins plugin. If such features exist, they should show it as a pop-up, signaling that they have a new feature. Currently, it feels Veracode from two years ago is still the same, so that is something Veracode needs to improve. They can improve the security part. Some of the severe security issues were never caught by Veracode in the reports. In fact, I have never seen any high or critical severity issues pop up in my Veracode report. That is one thing they can improve on their scanning ability to catch high severity issues. Next is integration; Veracode does not provide any tools to integrate with Jenkins or CLI. I do not even know if there is any CLI for Veracode that I can use to automate in my pipeline. The last thing is the UI interface that they have, as it is a bit confusing. I remember we did not have the capability to handle authentications of our internal application. We had to write Selenium code using a Selenium IDE. To write a Selenium script for a Veracode scan, you have to download a Selenium IDE, record it, and then paste that file into Veracode. I can see that Selenium IDE is already decommissioned, so it is no longer used by anyone. Still, we have to use it because Veracode only supports that kind of file for Selenium to automate. They can add more ways to authenticate our application using normal JavaScript or Python or Shell script. I feel these are the four main points. They can document it more by adding tooltips into the application that explain why a parameter is required and what other options are available. For the same example with the Selenium script, they can add a link to their documentation that explains what other kinds of scripts can be written for authentication. I feel they can also make the UI more intuitive so that whoever uses it can guide themselves, as whoever uses Veracode is already a technical person.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Web application security testing is a valuable feature."

"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."

"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."

"It can be very hard to make a good lab environment with a console with log windows and code bases. What I like about Veracode is that they managed to do that. It has a very responsive graphical user interface and has worked very well. I was very pleased with that."

"The valuable features are the static analysis and the dynamic analysis."

"The rate at which we gained control of our security posture, from a development perspective, was fast."

"The static scan and the detailed reports, which include issue information and permissions, are the most valuable features."

"In pipeline scanning, there is a configuration that can be set with respect to the security level of the flaw. If there is a high or a critical issue, there's a way the build can be failed and blocked before going into production."

"The static analysis gives you deep insights into problems."

"What I found most valuable in Veracode is that it gives me a part-by-part report of the entire EAR file and lets me set up the application for a limited time. Once that expires, Veracode allows you to automatically renew it, which is one of the features I find remarkable in Veracode."

"The visibility into application status helps reduce risk exposure for our software. Today, any findings provided by the DAST are reviewed by the developers and we have internal processes in place to correct those findings before there can be a release. So it absolutely does prevent us from releasing weak code."

More Veracode pros

Cons

"Used to crash/freeze due to poor performance, not sure about newer versions."

"I would like to see a little more flexibility with regards to setting up profiles for vulnerabilities."

"It was complex as I have to make sure all the requirements are in place before on-boarding Hailstorm."

"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 scanning is a little slow, but other than that it's fine. It's usually when the binaries get up into the multi-hundred megabyte size."

"Security can always be improved. I'd like to know how we can better prevent intrusions to our systems and create risk analysis use cases and understand them."

"One of the things that we have from a reporting point of view, is that we would love to see a graphical report. If you look through a report for something that has come back from Veracode, it takes a whole lot of time to just go through all the pages of the code to figure out exactly what it says. We know certain areas don’t have the greatest security features but those are usually minor and we don’t want to see those types of notifications."

"We have not had much free expert support from the vendor. We have had to have a team of highly skilled individuals to make the solution work."

"Technical support was difficult at times due to off-shore support that seemed to be reading from a script and not really understanding our issue."

"While Veracode is way ahead of its competitors on Gartner Magic Quadrant, it's a bit more expensive than Fortify. It's a good solution for the cost, but if we had a high budget, we would go with Checkmarx, which is much better than Veracode."

"Veracode is costly, and there is potential for improvement in its pricing."

"Reporting. Some of the reporting features of Veracode do need improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It's too expensive for the European market. That is why, in a big bank with 400 applications, we are able to use it only for 10 of them. But the other solutions are also expensive, so it wasn't a differentiator."

"I don't have firsthand knowledge of Veracode pricing, but based on client feedback, it seems to be expensive with additional fees for certain features."

"It's very expensive, especially when you are a very small organization. If you're using Veracode at an individual level, for example, you're a developer or you run agents, the pricing might not affect you, but if you're using it at a company level to troubleshoot security issues, the pricing is not quite favorable. It may affect ROI."

"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."

"Veracode has been fair. We use their SaaS solution and it's just an annual subscription."

"Compared to the typical software composition analysis solutions, Veracode is not so costly, although the static analysis part of it is a little costlier."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable, and relatively straightforward, and different licensing and subscription models are available."
