Application Development Analyst at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
Showed us where errors were and helped us track their status, but reporting could have been more detailed
Pros and Cons
- "I liked that I could easily find out where my errors were. Instead of going through the whole code and the scripts, it showed me where the errors were and gave me an idea of how to fix them."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
We used it for static and dynamic testing to check if there were any vulnerabilities in the code. If there were any vulnerabilities, we would check the report downloaded from the Veracode portal and try to fix the code before deploying it.
How has it helped my organization?
Veracode helped me remove errors, and it didn't take a long time to fix any issue because I had an answer regarding where the code needed to be fixed. That feature helped us test our cases and get them deployed. It helped me fix vulnerabilities and any other errors before deployment to the applications.
The SAST and DAST scans—we used it both before code was deployed and after it was deployed—helped us run through the issues and keep track of their status. It was deployed in the pipelines, through Jenkins, and checked the logs in Kubernetes.
The solution also saved us time. I really liked the automatic scanning because there was no way to know where an issue was. Human tendency is to make mistakes, but Veracode helped us find the exact spot where an error was and change it. The reporting helped us do that in a short amount of time.
For our team, it had a very good impact. My manager used to suggest that before taking code to the next level, it was a really good idea to scan it.
What is most valuable?
I liked that I could easily find out where my errors were. Instead of going through the whole code and the scripts, it showed me where the errors were and gave me an idea of how to fix them.
What needs improvement?
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.
Also, with upgrades, we had quite a difficult time tracking the reports, so there was some maintenance around that.
For how long have I used the solution?
I used Veracode for 13 months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I had a situation that was due to a slow network, and I couldn't get results within a specific time. Because of that, there was a lag in production; we couldn't deploy the code on time. There was a crash, and because of that, we couldn't meet our production deadline.
The downtime happened two or three times. I thought it was due to a network issue when it happened once, but then I came to understand that it was a maintenance issue.
What other advice do I have?
Veracode is really not difficult or complex to understand. The whole concept is simple. It takes some time to get used to the tool, but it is a very simple tool to work with.
It was quite fast. Scanning my code took 25 to 30 minutes, which was quite good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
This is the first such tool we are using.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment was not very complex. It took us around 15 days because we were trying to understand the policies and many other things. Our team has 15 people and everyone was involved in making some decisions regarding the solution.
We have only needed help with the product itself. That's what we have reached out to their team for. But there hasn't been any maintenance of the product for us.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is a bit high. Although we are in a trial phase, if we are going to make the decision to purchase the software, the pricing is going to be high for us.
What other advice do I have?
We are able to justify the false positives because security flaws are one of the biggest things that Veracode's features help us with.
Overall, the product is good. It has made a very good impression. There are some flaws, as I have mentioned, but overall it looks very good, with the features I've mentioned. The impact on our security has been good. The main challenge for us will be the pricing, but if we ignore that factor, the impact has been very good and we would definitely implement Veracode.
I would suggest having a look at Veracode. Go for a trial of the system to see if Veracode is something that can help solve your problems. Pricing should be ignored because there are definitely some very specific features that help a lot.

The Software Bill of Materials feature helps you understand what to do to minimize risks and maintain compliance
Pros and Cons
- "I like the static scanning, and Veracode's interface is excellent. The dashboard is easy to navigate."
- "Static scanning takes a long time, so you need to patiently wait for the scan to achieve. I also think the software could be more accurate. It isn't 100 percent, so you shouldn't completely rely on Veracode. You need to manually verify its findings."
What is our primary use case?
I use Veracode to ensure the projects I deliver don't have vulnerabilities.
How has it helped my organization?
Veracode provides insight into vulnerabilities at every stage, so your team can progress through the development cycle more efficiently. It improves developer confidence by showing us our capabilities and the potential of our code.
Our developers improve and become more efficient using Veracode. Once we identify issues in our code, it's much easier to avoid the same mistakes in future projects. It teaches them how to overcome those vulnerabilities and errors while reducing costs.
Veracode saves a lot of time compared to traditional methods for identifying vulnerabilities. We save around $500 a month using Veracode because we don't need to hire experts.
Veracode has improved our overall security posture. We feel assured that applications we deliver to clients or use internally are highly secure. It has helped us develop strategies to create stable, secure platforms.
What is most valuable?
I like the static scanning, and Veracode's interface is excellent. The dashboard is easy to navigate. I love the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) feature because it helps you explore various industries and understand what to do to minimize risks and maintain compliance. It's straightforward and ensures my applications are compliant.
It's easy to create reports using the SBOM feature because it has templates that you can customize depending on the reporting requirements. It gives me a report of the compliance requirements for any industry. It helps us internally and improves the services we provide to our clients.
Veracode is great for preventing vulnerable code from going into production because it covers various programming languages like JavaScript and PHP. You can be confident that your code is secure no matter which language you use.
What needs improvement?
Static scanning takes a long time, so you need to patiently wait for the scan to achieve. I also think the software could be more accurate. It isn't 100 percent, so you shouldn't completely rely on Veracode. You need to manually verify its findings.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used Veracode for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Veracode is stable. I've been working with it for a long time.
How are customer service and support?

With extensive reporting capabilities and a user-friendly interface, the tool is also highly scalable
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of the solution are its extensive reporting capabilities and user-friendly interface."
- "There are certain shortcomings in Veracode's static analysis engine. I would improve Veracode's static analysis engine to make it capable of identifying vulnerabilities with low false positives."
What is our primary use case?
I have helped other companies implement Veracode Static Analysis in their IT environment. In our company, we need to scan many .NET applications using Veracode, and we could scan our software since it is a SaaS solution, after which we process the reports to improve the product.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution are its extensive reporting capabilities and user-friendly interface.
What needs improvement?
There are certain shortcomings in Veracode's static analysis engine. I would improve Veracode's static analysis engine to make it capable of identifying vulnerabilities with low false positives.
The product is good, and if improvements are required, then such improvements should not be significant enough. There may be a slight scope to improve the product's integration capabilities. The product can also consider improving its support of different .NET versions and other programming languages, like Java.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Veracode Static Analysis for three or four months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Our company faced some issues with the tool, but the support team solved these issues quite quickly. The stability of the tool is high. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. We can implement the tool in different DevOps environments and projects, because of which we can create groups of applications and apply different policies to application groups, making it an enterprise-level tool. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support helped us solve different problems related to Veracode, including some of its use cases. Veracode's support helped our company get around a problem and how to set up the scan rules correctly when we had some unexpected errors during the scanning process. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have experience with Snyk. I used Snyk a year ago. Snyk doesn't support the version of the .NET applications we use in our company, so we decided to move to Veracode.
What about the implementation team?
The initial setup was easy since it is a SaaS solution and a well-documented product at the same time. In our company, we don't need to spin up a server to install something since we simply use the web interface and integrate the web interface with the DevOps environment.
On a scale of one to ten, where one is a hard setup and ten is an easy setup, I rate the initial setup phase an eight or nine.
The solution is deployed on the cloud. In our company, we use Microsoft Azure DevOps for our environment, but I don't know the environment in which Veracode gets used in our company. Veracode offers a web interface and API, so I don't know their cloud solutions.
The deployment is quite fast, but its overall quickness in terms of deployment depends on the number of applications you want to scan. If you want to scan one application, the deployment can be quickly done since we need to integrate Veracode into our DevOps environment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing of the product depends upon the number of codes or the number of applications.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend those planning to use the solution check the system requirements and choose a solution that supports programming languages and .NET Framework versions that record scans.
I am not sure if it is one of the best solutions because I am not an expert in other solutions available in the market. Somehow, I personally feel it is one of the best tools in the market.
I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

It's easy to integrate with various cloud platforms and tools
Pros and Cons
- "I like Veracode's ease of integration with various cloud platforms and tools."
- "It would be nice if Veracode were bundled with some preferred vendors like Salesforce and offered at a discount."
What is our primary use case?
We use Veracode to scan our code before release. The scan ensures our projects will have no issues. We only use Veracode for customer-facing and revenue-generating web applications.
How has it helped my organization?
Application security is paramount. It's essential to check any extended web applications we are using. Veracode enables us to check integrated segments that are based on other websites. We can also perform a light scan on some of the smaller customer-facing web applications.
Veracode provides visibility into application status, but we do not use it during every development phase. We only use Veracode before the code goes into production. It improves our DevSecOps. We use an agile process, so we have less time to fix issues when we discover vulnerabilities. Veracode helps us fix many critical issues but only if it is compatible with all the technologies.
It helps if the products you use are from preferred vendors like Salesforce. If your tools are incompatible, you might get some false positives. You can still use products that aren't from preferred vendors, but if you use tools like Salesforce, etc., it will automatically recognize and ignore these issues. It cuts down on the time we spend investigating.
The overall false positive rate is good. It is about 70-80 percent accurate. In some stages, we have to let issues go and defer the fix until another time. We might wait to release a patch later.
Veracode adds value when we run it in an integrated environment where all the core systems are similar to our production environment. It adds value to the developers in the final stages of testing or the QA environment. We can use it for functional or system testing. That is where it adds value for the developers by enabling them to fix many of the issues. Nothing flows into the queue box. We can say it has been effective if it's up to 70 percent, but if we consider the environmental constraints, it's around 30 to 40 percent.
It adds daily value by improving the security posture of our customer-facing web applications. A developer could make a mistake not caught in the QA process.
What is most valuable?
I like Veracode's ease of integration with various cloud platforms and tools.
What needs improvement?
I'm also a cybersecurity expert. In addition to vulnerabilities, I am looking at this from a holistic cybersecurity perspective. Bringing Veracode in line with the latest vulnerabilities would add value. We see APT issues often, and some processes could be left vulnerable if our tool cannot cope with them. It would improve Veracode to bring it up to date with current threats that the cybersecurity industry highlights.
I would also like Veracode to offer training and certifications that users can do on their own time. It would encourage people to build skills that they could reuse across the board. Many other software publishers offer this. It helps build a user base and generate interest. Training is an excellent way to market your product. It would also be helpful to build a user community online to create a knowledge base of expert users who can answer questions and advise Veracode on ways to improve the product.
For how long have I used the solution?
We been using Veracode for five or six years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
SonarQube is another solution we've used. SonarQube has some limitations, and we feel like it isn't keeping pace with the technology landscape. We had to reconsider our tool, which led us to adopt Veracode.
How was the initial setup?
We had some challenges initially, but I think that was due to a lack of training. After deployment, Veracode doesn't require much maintenance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Veracode's price is reasonable because of the value it offers. If you don't catch bad code before it goes into production, you have to spend money to rework it, and a security failure in your product can cost your company. We think it's worth what we pay.
It would be nice if Veracode were bundled with some preferred vendors like Salesforce and offered at a discount.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Veracode a nine out of ten.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
