Helps with Zero-day protection

We use the solution for Zero-day protection. The solution stops any kind of remote code execution. The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load. I have been using the product for a year. I would rate the tool's stability a six out of ten. I would…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scanning of .war and .jar is key for us."

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

"The automation of Veracode is great because we no longer have to run manual testing."

"The most valuable feature is the remediation consulting that they give. I feel like any vendor can identify the flaws but fixing the flaws is what is most important. Being able to have those consultation calls, schedule them in the platform, and have that discussion with an applications expert, that process scales well and that is what has allowed a lot more reduction of risk to happen."

"The best feature of Veracode is that we can do static and dynamic scans."

"Allows us to track the remediation and handling of identified vulnerabilities."

"Veracode provides guidance for fixing vulnerabilities. It enables developers to write secure code from the start by pointing them to the problematic line of code, and saying, "This function/method has security vulnerabilities," then suggests alternatives to fix it. Then, we adopt their suggestions of the tool. By implementing it in the right way, we can fix the issue. For example, if the tool has found a method where it copied one piece of memory into another piece of memory in the code. The tool points to problematic methods with the vulnerability and provides ways to code it more securely. By adopting their suggestions, we are fixing this vulnerability."

"The ability on static scans to be able to do sandbox scans which do not generate metrics."

More Veracode pros

"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."

Cons

"I would like Veracode to also have the ability to fix these flaws in a future release."

"Security can always be improved."

"The GUI requires significant simplification, as its current complexity creates a steep learning curve for new users."

"There is room for improvement in documentation."

"I would ask Veracode to be a lot more engaged with the customer and set up live sessions where they force the customer to engage with Veracode's technical team. Veracode could show them a repo, how they should do things, this is what these results mean, here is a dashboard, here's the interpretation, here's where you find the results."

"The static analysis is prone to a lot of false positives. But that's how it is with most static analysis tools... Also, the static analysis can sometimes take a little while. The time that it takes to do a scan should be improved."

"The interface is one thing I find a little challenging. Veracode's interface feels a little outdated compared to other solutions, and it could be modernized. I'm mostly happy with the features, but Vercaode could add Docker image scanning."

"I would like to see these features: entering comments for internal tracking; entering a priority; reports that show the above."

More Veracode cons

"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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 pricing depends on the functionality each client desires."

"I found Veracode very expensive, though I'm not the person paying for it. I was surprised to find out how much the subscription costs and that the executive board approved it, but it was a no-brainer because now my company has better security scans."

"I have not examined Veracode's pricing in detail, but from an industry perspective, I see that there is a tendency toward Veracode, which suggests competitive pricing."

"It is very reasonably priced compared to what we were paying our previous vendor. For the same price, we are getting much more value and reducing our AppSec costs from 40 to 50 percent."

"The licensing is fair, it is time-limited (e.g. one year) but there is a size cap for every app. If your applications are big (due third-party libraries, for example) you should discuss this beforehand and explore suitable agreements."

"For the value we get out of it, coupled with the live defect review sessions, we find it an effective value for the money. We are a larger organization."

More Veracode pricing and cost advice

"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
