Veracode Reviews

We utilize Veracode in three primary ways. The first is through Dynamic Scans, followed by Static Scans, and Software Composition Analysis Scans. I find this tool to be highly effective. We have various forms of support available. For instance, we can initiate our scans through the CI/CD pipeline or manually if needed. Additionally, we can create separate sandboxes for each of our code modules. Since development involves distinct code modules, each catering to different functionalities, we can conveniently set up corresponding sandboxes within Veracode. This allows us to scan any module whenever required, which is quite advantageous.

From a SAST perspective, Veracode can prevent vulnerable code from entering production by adhering to our manual checklist.

We haven't utilized the Software Bill of Materials; however, we have employed Software Composition Analysis. Whenever we scan a codebase, any third-party applications or libraries that have been incorporated into the code are automatically analyzed. Subsequently, a comprehensive report is generated. This report outlines the third-party libraries and applications that have been utilized in the codebase, along with their respective versions. Additionally, if any of these versions are found to have vulnerabilities, they are promptly detected.

Veracode is efficient. I have used various other tools such as DAST or SAST, and employing those tools usually takes between five and eight hours. In contrast, Veracode completes the task in two to three hours. For each scan, there is a consultation button available. Clicking on that button allows us to schedule a call with a Veracode support team member. During the call, they explain any issues, clarify why certain problems are false positives, and discuss the reasons behind issue detections. There's also a consolidation part and a support button, where we can raise tickets. I have found that their maximum response time to these tickets is within one day. Before starting the scan, Veracode offers a pre-scan functionality. This functionality performs connection and server checks in the pre-scan phase. It's similar to the SAST side of things for all the tools, where the code base is examined before initiating the SAST application to determine if it's sound. However, in Veracode's case, this is implemented in the DAST system. It checks whether the server is operational if the provided call scripts are correct, and if the provided login scripts are accurate. This pre-scan functionality doesn't run during the actual scan but rather at the very beginning to ensure that all prerequisites are met. Once everything is verified, then we can proceed to initiate the actual scan.

Using Veracode policy regulations, we can offer predefined rules. When setting up any application, we establish the application name and other necessary details. Following this, there is a section where we can input this information. Essentially, there exist predefined regulations which we can either directly utilize if they suit our needs, or adjust them based on the requirements of our project team. Therefore, we have a pre-existing set of rules and functionalities available.

We do have a dashboard in Veracode that offers visibility into the status of applications. There is a section where we can view the application names, and next to each name, there is a status report such as "The SAST has been completed" or "in progress," and the same goes for DAST.

After the scanning is completed, with other solutions from a DAST perspective, we would receive a report. If there are any false positives, we would have to identify them ourselves. However, with Veracode, one of their engineers or a support team member will verify the information, which helps to minimize the number of false positives.

Before using Veracode, we used to perform many tasks manually. We had a checklist for the SAST. We would go through each line of code, attempting to determine its compliance and level of security. Even with the DAST, we used to carry out this process manually. Completing the DAST scan took a considerable amount of time. For each module, we had to dedicate at least two to three days. However, since adopting Veracode, we can now not only perform this process for each module, but we can also initiate scans for all the modules simultaneously. As a result, we can obtain the results within a maximum of three to four hours. Time-saving for fixing flaws is one of the significant benefits that Veracode has provided us, helping reduce the time by almost 60 percent.

Regarding Software Composition Analysis, an exceptional feature is that during a SAST scan, SCA is seamlessly conducted in the background. Once we scan all modules and obtain SAST results, switching to the SCA section reveals the associated reports. This integrated approach eliminates the need for separate SAST and SCA scans, as is required by other tools.

The reporting feature is noteworthy. The reports are well-structured, providing comprehensive details for each vulnerability. Information about the vulnerability itself, its origin, the specific section of code it pertains to, and even the exact line of code involved are all included.

I've found that Veracode is not particularly suitable for Dynamic Application Security Testing. Unlike other tools equipped with their own crawlers, Veracode necessitates the use of a Selenium script for crawling. However, the tool's compatibility with all functions is limited, which can be frustrating. For instance, functions like upload, download, or those triggering new tabs are challenging to handle within the DAST section due to Selenium's inadequacies when used with Veracode.

In contrast to other tools where we can monitor requests and responses during a scan, Veracode lacks this capability. The scan initiates, and we must wait until completion to see the results. There's no opportunity to check if the right requests are being sent or if certain components are being excessively targeted. Once the scan starts, we're essentially locked in until it concludes, and only then can we access the results. Furthermore, even after the scan, we're only provided with a summary of scanned URLs and the number of requests made, without the specifics of the request or response contents.

I have been using Veracode for four months.

Veracode is stable, and we have not encountered any issues.

The cloud version of Veracode can scale according to the file size.

I have engaged in two different types of experiences with technical support. One involves the ticketing system, and the other involves consultation calls. The consultation calls revolved around static analysis. During these calls, we presented all the vulnerabilities we discovered. We conducted our analysis and demonstrated how Veracode identified certain vulnerabilities. However, we also explained instances where these were false positives due to specific reasons. During the call, they acknowledged these issues. They pointed out some of Veracode's limitations, highlighting that it solely scans the code and doesn't consider the framework side. This implies that they accept these limitations. Furthermore, they provided us with insights into how they plan to implement fixes in the future, which is quite beneficial.

Additionally, whenever we had inquiries or doubted Veracode's detection of false positives, they provided detailed explanations. They shared the specific Veracode setup and rules within the SAST side that led to the detection of certain vulnerabilities. They also explained that by incorporating certain mitigations at the code level, these vulnerabilities could be addressed. 

Regarding the ticketing system, for minor issues or questions, we would raise a ticket. They consistently responded within a maximum of one day, providing us with the necessary information.

Positive

Before transitioning to Veracode, the client had been utilizing a free community version tool. However, the count of false positives was exceedingly high with that specific tool. This prompted the client to seek a solution that could deliver superior results with fewer false positives. As a result, the decision was made to switch to Veracode.

I would rate Veracode a seven out of ten because the DAST has room for improvement.

The maintenance is completed by the Veracode team because we are using the cloud version.

For individuals seeking exclusively SAST and SCA capabilities, rather than DAST, Veracode stands out as the most suitable tool. However, if someone intends to utilize Veracode solely for DAST, I believe they should explore alternative tools. The effectiveness of Veracode's DAST functionality is limited, and using other tools might yield better results. Additionally, Veracode provides comprehensive training resources through its portal, including a list of documents and video tutorials. These resources are readily accessible and offer adequate guidance for initiating the use of Veracode.

I'm using it to troubleshoot and know the issues in my code and resolve them as soon as possible.

Veracode helps me to understand and resolve vulnerabilities in my code. It's very good to have, and what's most interesting is that the Veracode Greenlight gives me real-time output and resolution. I can also schedule calls with the security experts for any resolution. It's good for understanding and resolving issues that my code might have.

Veracode definitely helps in creating a secure environment for both the company as well as the clients. Our clients require their data to be secure. They also require a stable solution. Veracode is helping me in developing a good product. It provides full information and also helps in a quick resolution.

Veracode is secure, and it has coding standards. It helps me in penetration testing and application security consultation. It exposes common vulnerabilities. The static scan is very good, and it gives me valuable information and a very good recommendation of how I can fix it.

We can integrate Veracode for both static and dynamic analysis to reduce the risks in the application and prevent vulnerabilities. A significant benefit is that you have a risk-free code. It minimizes the risks.

It gives visibility into the application status at every phase of development. There is Veracode Static Analysis, Dynamic Analysis, Software Composition Analysis, and Manual Penetration Test throughout SDLC.

Veracode has been very important and helpful in creating stable products because we are able to identify issues in the code and then create powerful and stable products for clients.

Veracode provides all details regarding the issues and the way to resolve them. It makes it easy for me as a developer to understand the issue in a better way. It improves a developer's confidence in the solution when fixing vulnerabilities.

Veracode has saved a lot of our time. It has saved us about 45% time.

Veracode has enhanced security. We are able to identify what is missing and what are the issues in the code. When we know that the code has an issue, we are able to make sure that we correct it. Veracode has helped us a lot in providing a stable, secure solution to our clients.

Veracode has helped us to develop faster because it's so straightforward. It has clear documentation that you can use to create a very good and stable environment for developers to collaborate and create a unique solution.

IDE Scan is the most important feature, and then you have SCA and Platform Scan.

I like the fact that it can be used at any stage of application development. I use scanning with a particular piece of code. There is an extension that helps me to create my code easily in Visual Studio and then find flaws before deploying the code. It's definitely benefiting me and the organization. It's so quick and easy to create a code and then deploy it live.

It's easy to create reports. It works very well. It's straightforward, and it does not require a lot of time. It's a straightforward platform that you can use for performing scans or mitigating issues. It has a very good user interface. FAQs are also helpful in case you are not familiar with it. It's good and straightforward when you integrate it with machine learning platforms.

It's very expensive for a small organization.

I have been using it for a year and a half.

It's a very stable solution.

It's scalable enough. Veracode is being used in the engineering department. It's being only used in one department by two people. It's a developer tool for developing solutions faster, troubleshooting, and debugging.

Their support is good because there is an option to request a consultation. If you face any issue or any difficulty with the scans or mitigation, they can help you out. The support service for me is very costly, but you also have a well-organized FAQ and a very big community for asking questions and getting a solution. I'd rate their support a 10 out of 10.

Positive

I haven't used a different solution. This is the first solution I've used.

I was involved in its deployment. It took me one week to implement Veracode. The process was straightforward. If you are lost or have any issues, you can read the documentation.

I implemented it.

It's not so huge to provide a lot of return on investment, but it's helping us to have a stable solution. It's a secure platform, but in terms of the return on investment, it hasn't made a very good impact yet. We have only seen 10% to 15% ROI.

It has reduced the cost of DevSecOps for the organization because we can use one platform to develop, troubleshoot, and debug faster, so it has helped us a lot.

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.

Veracode is good. It's for organizations that want to give their customers both security and privacy. It's good in case you want to dive deep into the code and get the flaws that could be dangerous to both the organization and the customers using an application. If you are looking to create a good application that is also secure, I'd recommend Veracode.

Overall, I'd rate Veracode a 9 out of 10.

At this moment in time, in my project, we are mostly using Static Analysis from Veracode. We automated it and added it as a step to our daily pipeline. We also tried using the pipeline plugin from Veracode that gives an immediate evaluation of your code. We're also using agent-based Software Composition Analysis. I have not exactly used it in my project, but I participated in investigating it and setting it up.

I know two flavors of doing Software Composition Analysis. The first one is a part of a daily static scan where you're uploading all your third-party libraries. The second one is by using agent-based, which gives more reporting capabilities but not doesn't affect policy scans, etc. We use both of them.

We use Software Composition Analysis as a part of our daily build pipeline, so we use Jenkins Plugin from Veracode. Every night, we upload our sources to the Veracode platform. In the morning, we receive results of Static Code Analysis and Software Composition Analysis. 

We are able to receive results for vulnerabilities in other libraries. We can then react to it and fix our code and those dependencies.

We do have a policy in regards to security. As a part of that policy, we cannot have very high-end issues. Usually, when you change third-party libraries, you need to do some level of regression testing. Our release cycle is long, and it could be half a year between releases or sometimes even more. By using Software Composition Analysis, we're checking our sources on a regular basis, and if needed, we change our libraries in our code, So, we are checking and mitigating any vulnerabilities if they are not applicable to our solution.

We use static scanning. This is the main use of Veracode for us. We package our application every day and send it to Veracode. We receive static code analysis results and also the software composition analysis results every day because the first focus for us is on quality improvement. The security improvement is definitely static scanning. We do have a process for analyzing and mitigating results around this static scanning. So far, we have been able to comply with our internal policy. At this moment in time, we are at the stage of releasing our product, and according to our internal policy, certain important issues from 2017 had to be addressed and fixed.

Veracode gives the possibility to find different vulnerabilities and flaws in code, and it also makes things relatively easy because everything is automated. Implementing such a high-quality tool like Veracode, immediately made us aware of a lot of issues, but the volume of issues that we had to address was really high. The support from top management made it easy to fix the issues that Veracode identified in the product that has a long history of more than 20 years. Without the support of higher management in organizing and defining a process of fixing those issues, it wouldn't have been possible to fix all those issues. We took the reports received from Veracode, planned our activities, reviewed everything, and started acting on it as a result. The new release that we have is according to our policy, which is an important thing for us.

It definitely helps in reducing the risk of a security breach, which is rather important for us for providing our customers with a secure product. Among our customers, there are a lot of big companies that take security seriously. So, for us, it is really important. The fact that we have executive sponsorship shows that security is very important for our management. This initiative started because we're treating security really seriously.

It is improving our productivity significantly. We just finished a big chunk of results processing, and we are still in the process of setting up our processes. When you're first doing that scan with Veracode, you receive a bunch of results and an overwhelming amount of flaws in your code. All those results need to be investigated. For some of them, it is sufficient to have mitigations, but some of them need to be fixed. We just finished those fixes, and there were a significant amount of security findings from Veracode.

Considering that in my project, we are mostly using Software Composition Analysis as a part of Static Code Analysis, for me, the main part is reporting and highlighting necessary vulnerabilities. Veracode platform has a rather good database of different vulnerabilities in different libraries and different sources. So, finding vulnerabilities in third-party libraries is the main feature of Software Composition Analysis that we use. It is the most important feature for us.

The results of agent-based software composition analysis are not connected to policy scanning. So, for me, the only thing that Veracode can improve in Software Composition Analysis is to connect it with the policy scan because, at present, it is a bit inconvenient for those in our organization who use agent-based Software Composition Analysis. In the end, they need to make a static scan with all those libraries in order to receive that report. If Veracode implemented a connection between agent-based static scan and static scanning itself, it would be great because it would lead to fewer operations in order to prepare release documentation and release reporting from Veracode. We recently had a conversation with Veracode about it.

I believe it has been about two years because Software Composition Analysis is a part of the policy scan, and our journey with Veracode has been for about two years.

It is stable. I didn't feel that many problems with it. We did have a few glitches with the platform, but they were not that many. So, I can say that it is stable.

I can't say anything about the scalability of this solution because we are not bothered about keeping its infrastructure up and running. We use Veracode Cloud, and we are not supporting or deploying it. It is just a service for us, and we consider it as a service. We submit the information and receive reports back from that solution.

In our project, every night, we are currently scanning our development branch and three versions of our releases. We have four applications, and I believe that from my team, at least 15 scans happen every night. We have a partnership with another company that provides a part of our functionality. They provide releases to us to embed in our solution. We also do the scanning for their part and inform them about the issues that we've found.

We will increase the number of scanned versions because with each and every release, during the support period, we're supporting versions of our product, and we're also fixing the security stuff. We will be increasing the volume of scans, but it will come to a logical point. When a version is no longer supported, we will definitely remove it from Veracode. So, all in all, at any moment in time, I foresee four or maybe five versions to support multiplied by four applications. There is also a development branch for each application, so there will be around 20-25 automated scans per night.

I am very pleased with the Veracode support because so far, there were no issues where they were not able to help us. Sometimes, in our questions to Veracode, we ask about the deep aspects of functionality, and so far, we've received answers for all those questions, and they were mostly good. I would rate them a nine out of 10 just because I didn't like some of their answers. Because of our approach of having each version as a separate sandbox in Veracode, we had questions about the consistency of results between different sandboxes, but then we realized that these are peculiarities of the platform. It is nothing serious or special. It was mostly related to our expectations from those algorithms, but it actually works perfectly. I can give a 10 for Veracode's support, but then they will have no growth to improve.

It was pretty straightforward. The problem that we had was mostly about our solution's architecture because the solution itself is big and heterogeneous. Some parts or regions are using the Java platform, and some parts are in the .NET code. The main problem was to correctly build our solution for Veracode. This was the only challenge. Veracode provided us with good functionality with their Jenkins Plugin that made it possible for us to automate our daily development. So, the main problem for us was mostly related to properly building our solution and using it in Veracode. It was pretty straightforward. There was nothing complex, but it needed some work from our side.

The strategy for Veracode implementation was pretty straightforward. From the very beginning, we stuck to the idea that it should be automated because all modern DevOps practices and approaches, such as Infrastructure as a Code, are widely used in our company. So, from the very beginning, we decided that it should be coded, and it should be stored in source control and uploaded. Veracode became a part of our process of everyday deployment, and it was a part of our strategy to make it a part of our life and use it as much as we can.

The number of people involved depended on the stage. At the initial stage, when we were evaluating it, there were somewhere around six or seven people who were making the decision of buying Veracode and other stuff. We have different companies and products inside our organization, and each and every product team is responsible for implementing it. We were the pioneers in using the solution from Veracode, and later on, it spread out to other projects. Now, we're acquiring additional licenses and so on. We planned everything with the help of the developer team. We follow the agile approach in our development, so everything was planned. User stories were created, and we just acted on them.

I participated in the review of tools. We reviewed not only Veracode. There were also other candidates for our main tool for static scan and software composition analysis. So, I have been involved in all activities around Veracode from the very beginning. What I liked about Veracode is that it is not just one product. It is a big ecosystem. It even has integration with Visual Studio, etc. First of all, we took a look at the scope of scanning. We compared the results of scanning and the functionality. Veracode had really great reporting functionality. In the end, we came up with the conclusion that Veracode fits best to our needs, and I believe we were right.

My advice would be to adopt Veracode to serve your processes. I believe that the processes inside the company shouldn't be changed significantly with the introduction of new tools. Definitely, for each and every new tool, you need to build some process around usage in terms of administration and control. Veracode has a relatively big ecosystem of tools, which is a big advantage, and my advice would be to check all those tools and see how they can fit into your process, and how they can improve them. There are a lot of options and a lot of tools provided by Veracode that can fit each and every process. Whether you are using a waterfall process or DevOps practices in your organization, with Veracode, you can add necessary steps to your process without making significant changes in the processes that you have.

We take security seriously, and Veracode is not the only thing that we have for security. We do manual penetration testing to security test our applications. We also have some dynamic scanning. We follow some practices while engineering and architecting our solutions. At each and every step, we are trying to cover our solution with the necessary security testing activities or security design principles. Veracode is a big part of our security, but it is not the only one. We are fixing all issues, especially those that are non-compliant with our policy.

We don't use any connections with Software Composition Analysis. It is a separate product in the ecosystem that makes it possible for you to deeply scan your third-party libraries. This is the only way we use it. 

In terms of Veracode SCA reducing our overall scan times, I believe that it is not applicable at this point. In the case of agent-based scanning, the situation that we recently had has shown that you cannot fully substitute Software Composition Analysis from a static scan with agent-based. That's because, in the end, documents that you provide together with the release are the policy scan results generated by static scan. You can reduce the amount of time for your scanning, but in the end, you need at least one scan where you will figure out all third-party states as a part of the policy scan report. You cannot use only agent-based Software Composition Analysis because they are two separate sources of information. We can use Software Composition Analysis and then somehow merge results from two sources in one document for it, which is inconvenient. We are having nightly builds for Veracode, and it doesn't matter to us whether it takes more than 30 minutes or less than 30 minutes. We haven't measured the time, but with the approach that we have set in our company, we can leave it for longer time periods, and after nightly build, everything is okay for us. So, Jenkins just does its job of uploading, and no one monitors it. We are just monitoring that the jobs are stable and results are available. Considering that we're doing it at night, it is not that important for us for how long it runs.

It hasn't exactly increased our fix rate because it is not about our code. It is about the third-party code. We definitely have to mitigate, and sometimes, we have to change libraries to a newer version, so it somehow affects our fix rate, but mostly, the static scan affects our fix rate because it shows flaws in our code. So, I don't see any significant improvement with Veracode Software Composition Analysis in terms of our fix rate. I don't see a direct relationship between Veracode Software Composition Analysis and our fix rate, whereas Static Analysis works and gives us the necessary results and plans for fixing and doing our next steps in security.

It has not yet helped our company with certification and audits. We haven't yet shared those green results with our customers, and we didn't have any certifications the last time.

I would rate Veracode Software Composition Analysis a nine out of 10.

The solution is used for performing application security processes like source code assessment, dynamic assessment, and SCA.

We sell the product to our customers. We are a vendor.

The SAST and DAST modules are great. The scanning part is also good. It’s pretty easy and convenient to use. Everything is described within the product. Almost everything is available in the community and the guidelines.

Veracode Greenlight scans the code while the developer writes it. It will be beneficial for developers if Veracode Greenlight includes Python.

I have been using the solution for almost one year.

The tool is stable.

The scalability of the product depends upon the pricing. The price is a bit high for a small company. It is suitable for a large company.

Support is very good. The support team resolves some issues within 24 hours.

Positive

I tried a few solutions before using Veracode. Veracode is better because it is convenient to use. The solution’s dashboard and features are pretty good. It is the topmost product among the other tools that I used. It is pretty simplified. Veracode has a lot of options to do authenticated scans. Veracode’s simplified features are helpful for people who use different authentication methodologies.

We are using the SaaS version of the solution. The initial deployment was pretty easy. The CI/CD pipeline has a lot of dependencies, like connecting with Jenkins and Jira. If we directly upload the code to the cloud, we can deploy the product within a single day. If we do it in the CI/CD pipeline, it will take some time.

One person can deploy the product. I haven’t had any maintenance-related issues with the solution. Whatever new vulnerabilities come, they are already updated in the database. Since we are a partner, it will be helpful if Veracode notifies us whenever it releases the vulnerability reports. We cannot always check the portal.

The product’s price is a bit higher compared to other solutions. However, the tool provides good vulnerability and database features. It is worth the money.

Veracode provides policy reporting to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations. It is beneficial. The product also provides features to create custom policies. Most false-positives cases come under DAST. The false positives depend on the code. Veracode provides around 5% false positives.

The solution shows the vulnerabilities in the code and provides generic remediations for it. We must then search it on Google. The product’s community is also good. Sometimes, the product provides solutions in the community. These solutions work well on the production level.

I have also used the SCA features which help with identifying vulnerabilities in applications's third-party components. The Veracode user interface is so convenient and easy to use. Anyone can run a scan and generate a report easily.

The solution provides absolute visibility into application status at every phase of development. The users can get visibility through the CI/CD pipeline. The time taken to complete the scans depends on how much code is present in a specific application and how big the application is.

Veracode introduced a new module named Veracode Fix, which automates the fixes for insecure software with AI-generated secure code suggestions where the developer does not have to spend time searching and remediating the vulnerabilities. The developer does not have to spend time searching for vulnerabilities. Sometimes, the tool gives a generic recommendation, sometimes specific recommendations. It will be helpful if it always provides specific recommendations. The amount of time saved hinges on factors such as code complexity, the programming language employed, and the developer's proficiency in secure coding. If anyone uses Veracode throughout the entire process of building an application, from the start of development to the final production stage, can result in a time savings of around 30% to 40% when leveraging various security measures of the platform.

Veracode has had a good impact on our organization’s overall security posture. If we choose to take the complete Veracode module, we can have security from the initial step to the production phase. 

I will recommend others to implement the solution. Veracode is in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. It is doing a good job.

Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

We use Veracode for its code analysis features, which include static code analysis, dynamic code analysis, and checking for security flaws in our code. Mainly, we utilize Veracode for application security, making code security one of our primary use cases.

Since implementing Veracode, we have seen significant improvements in our code's security and the overall code development process. Veracode has been instrumental in enhancing our code security and streamlining the development workflow. In the past, we relied heavily on third-party applications that were not directly aligned with our codebase. However, now we can seamlessly integrate Veracode into our application process, saving a substantial amount of time. Veracode has not only improved our security setup but also enhanced the overall security of our organization.

Before implementing Veracode, the same process that used to take one hour now only takes 15 to 20 minutes.

Veracode's policy reporting for insurance compliance with industry standards and regulations is good. We can integrate numerous reports, and the positive reporting feature is also highly commendable.

Veracode provides visibility into the application's status at every phase of development.

Veracode works very well overall, and our security has been greatly improved, significantly impacting our ability to fix flaws.

The security process has been improved. Before using Veracode, we used to perform it manually. However, at that time, there was no application that could be integrated with the code. Now, with Veracode, we can directly integrate it with our code. As a result, security checks are being done automatically, saving us 30 to 40 percent of our time.

Veracode offers various security features. Veracode performs the analysis using three different methods: static analysis, dynamic analysis, and software composition analysis. These security features are the best, and the most valuable features.

Veracode's ability to prevent vulnerable code from going into production is commendable. However, we have encountered numerous cases of false positives that need improvement.

The technical support service has room for improvement. There are times when we rely on them, but we are not receiving an adequate response.

The stability has room for improvement.

I have been using Veracode for one and a half years.

Veracode is stable, but there is room for improvement.

Veracode is highly scalable. We have not had any issues with scalability. 

Before I joined my organization, they used a third-party application to check code. Since I joined, we have been using Veracode.

The initial setup was somewhat complex. The deployment took a couple of weeks because we needed to resolve numerous technical issues that we had to understand first. We had six people involved in the deployment.

Veracode's price is reasonable.

I would rate Veracode an eight out of ten. I recommend Veracode to others.

Veracode's false positives significantly impact our developers. When we encounter numerous false positive cases, we are required to conduct extensive reviews. How much it affects our developers depends on the number of false positive cases we are encountering and the significance of addressing them concerning the criticality of writing the code.

Veracode can save time in our DevSecOps process, but it may not significantly reduce costs.

Organizations that have security flaws in their code and seek to enhance their core security can consider Veracode as one of the best options for investment. Veracode is easy to implement and can effectively address the flaws in the code, provided that cost is not a significant concern.

Maintenance is required from time to time, specifically regarding false positives. We need to verify whether the system is functioning properly and communicate with the support team. The intervals for these checks occur after approximately 30 or 60 days, which we have selected, and we must strive to improve the system during these instances.

Veracode is deployed at two locations within our organization.

We have multiple verticals and products, and we use Veracode to perform static analysis on our hosted applications across all the platforms. We also perform static and software composition analysis on a couple of products.

Our offices are spread out across North America, South America, Europe, and Cyprus. We also have offices in Australia that use the solution. About 25 to 30 people use the solution regularly. 

Veracode has greatly improved the security posture of our applications because we can identify and mitigate vulnerabilities that we couldn't have without the solution. Veracode provides compliance reporting so we can identify issues without having to rely on complaints. Veracode has been extremely effective at fixing flaws in our applications. We have multiple applications across multiple verticals

Veracode or any other solution like it doesn't prevent anything. The product provides insight into the vulnerabilities, but it's up to the end-user to mitigate that and move it into production. If we fail to remedy the issue and move the code into production, it isn't Veracode's failure. We can't judge the product based on whether it could do that. The product is doing what it should be doing.

In addition to dynamic and static analysis, we can perform software composition analysis, which involves going into the various libraries to retrieve details about that. We see a few false positives in Veracode but not many. It's negligible. 

Veracode has saved our developers time by identifying and reporting flaws. The developers don't need to spend time checking the code by hand. It reduces the time spent on these tasks by about 10 to 20 percent. 

I believe the static analysis is Veracode's best and most valuable feature. Software composition analysis is a feature that most people don't use, and we don't use SCA for most of our applications. However, this is an essential feature because it provides insight into the third-party libraries we use.

We have some constraints interacting with Veracode self-support. I'm not talking about their technical support. I'm talking about self-support. We sometimes have a hard time communicating with them.

I have used Veracode for the last five or six years, but the company has used it for nearly 10. 

Veracode is a highly stable product.

I haven't had a scenario where we've had to scale it.

I rate Veracode technical support nine out of 10. They are excellent. When we have problems, they provide a solution every time. 

Positive

We had been using a third-party service for vulnerability checking. 

The deployment is a little complex. There is a small learning curve, but it isn't too difficult. The installation isn't hard, but we need to configure the dynamic analysis where it connects to a hosted application and performs checks. We have to configure the console and set a schedule. It takes a couple of hours to configure a new application.

We have been able to mitigate lots of flaws and vulnerabilities, so Veracode has had a positive effect on our products. It's hard for me to quantify. Our company has a large footprint across Asia, North America, South America, and Europe. 

Veracode is fairly priced. 

I rate Veracode eight out of 10. I would recommend Veracode to other users. However, I suggest doing a proof of concept before moving forward with any solution. 

We use Veracode for static code analysis scans for our clients.

Veracode is deployed both on the cloud and on-premises.

Veracode helps prevent vulnerable code from being deployed into production by identifying problematic code. It enables us to send a report to the application developer, allowing them to address the vulnerabilities based on their criticality level. The developers are given six months to address medium-level issues and three months for critical ones. If the criteria are not mapped with the higher critical alerts present in those applications, we can enforce the build field and proceed without deploying it into production.

Veracode has helped improve our customers' organizations through the scanning taskbar, which identifies vulnerabilities in code. We have worked with ten clients, all of whom used Veracode to identify vulnerable code early in the development stage and resolve the issues. Additionally, Veracode offers Greenlight ID, which developers can integrate into their development process, providing clarity during the development phase. Veracode can also generate reports that developers can resolve, facilitating the quick resolution of security concerns.

The policy reporting for ensuring compliance with industry standards is excellent. The report helps us maintain our compliance.

It offers visibility into the application's status at every phase of development, including static analysis, dynamic analysis, composition analysis, and manual penetration testing throughout the Software Development Life Cycle.

Visibility aids the DevSecOps process by offering a clear framework for all involved departments, including the steps for handling severities.

Veracode assists our clients in addressing flaws by simplifying the process. The security team can review the code, approve or reject it, and developers can utilize the reports to promptly rectify the flaws.

It assists developers in saving approximately 20 percent of their time, primarily in the static part, as they no longer need to review all the code. Regarding the dynamic part, Veracode scans all the URLs, eliminating the necessity for developers to use additional tools. For third-party dependencies, developers depend on the reports and the Greenlight ID plug-in to streamline their workflow and save time.

Our clients depend on Veracode to improve their security stance.  

The CI/CD integration is the most valuable feature of Veracode. This feature is not present in other solutions.

The analytics dashboard is not user-friendly and can be improved to assist us with the application size and enable modifications, whether for static or dynamic scans. This is currently missing in Veracode.

Veracode needs to improve its integration with other tools.

We have requested an enhancement for Veracode because it does not support scanning the static and dynamic elements of code created by MuleSoft. Furthermore, it does not support these aspects for the new generation of applications and we have to use other tools.

I have been using Veracode for over seven years.

If there is an issue, I am unable to access all the logs due to insufficient permissions, which causes delays.

Veracode is scalable. To increase the scale, we simply need to increase the number of licenses.

The technical support team's response time is inadequate. Typically, they fail to provide assistance beyond the initial call due to the limited knowledge and inability of the first-level support to resolve issues effectively. I have been dealing with a single issue for three weeks without any resolution.

Neutral

The vendor handles the deployment, and we simply need to install the ISM agents on our network. The deployment time depends on the size of the application. Large applications may take up to five days to scan, but on average, it takes one or two days.

The pricing depends on the functionality each client desires. For example, one of our clients only wishes to scan two applications, so they pay for that specific service in addition to our organization's third-party access to their system.

I give Veracode an eight out of ten.

20 to 30 percent of the false positive rates are vulnerabilities. Sometimes, almost 50 percent of the reports are false positives, which affects the time spent on tuning policies.

The false positives increase the amount of time our developers need to spend investigating the reports. 

Veracode offers static analysis, dynamic analysis, and composition analysis all in one place.

We are a team of five individuals who assist in deploying and managing Veracode, along with handling other tasks.

Our client base varies depending on their budgets, but we serve a large number of organizations in the financial industry.

I recommend Veracode. The solution is on par with the others, and organizations can read the reviews and run some tests before making a purchase.

Our primary use cases are uploading and assigning scans, uploading compiled codes into the sandboxes, and searching marks to determine whether scans have been completed.

We have multiple locations, teams, and endpoints; we're a worldwide telecommunications company with over 2000 internal and external apps. Some apps communicate from the outside to the inside, but every app goes through Veracode.

We have to scan about 2000 apps, and we're already at 366 scanned within the year's first two months. Additionally, the company has been using Veracode for years; both are testaments to the solution's efficiency.

The platform provides visibility into application status at every phase of the development- Veracode Static Analysis, Dynamic Analysis, Software Composition Analysis, and Manual Penetration Testing throughout our SDLC. In terms of DevSecOps processes, the solution makes them quicker and smoother, with less confusion.   

Veracode positively affects our organization's ability to fix flaws; we have a particular app at the moment that failed the scan twice due to its vulnerabilities. Without the solution, we likely wouldn't get that.

The solution has positively affected our organization's overall security posture and will continue to improve it. 

I like the sandbox, the ability to upload compiled code, and how easy it is.

It's also straightforward to find scans we've uploaded. 

The solution's ability to prevent vulnerable code from going into production is incredible. I have done several consultations and remediation calls with the app team, and Veracode catches almost everything. It picks up the same issues in everything we scan, and we've done a lot of retests that way; the tool is very proficient in this area.  

Veracode helps our developers save time; it's a straightforward product that shows us the vulnerabilities and allows us to relay them back to the developers. This is faster and more efficient than staff going through the code manually. The solution is like having a proofreading app for our code rather than using a proofreader.  

The sandbox could use some improvement; when creating a sandbox, it requires us to put the application name in twice, which seems unnecessary.

We've been using the solution for a month and a half. 

Veracode is very stable; unlike many programs and apps, I've never had a problem with it.

The solution is scalable; we're a global telecom company, and we use it to scan every one of our over 2000 apps. 

The technical support is excellent. 

Positive

I'm unfamiliar with the solution's pricing, but it must be worth the cost from a company perspective, as we have been using it for years and have no plans to move away from it.

The product was in place long before I arrived at the company, so I don't know if they evaluated other options.

I rate the solution 10 out of 10. 

I recommend Veracode to any company looking for this type of platform. Though I need to become more familiar with competitor products, I like going into programs and clicking around. Even if I don't initially understand something within Veracode, I can keep going and make sense of it. I updated my resume to include my new experience with the solution.

Veracode reduced the cost of DevSecOps for our organization; we upload a scan, run the test, get the vulnerabilities, and set up a remediation meeting. This makes communication more manageable, and the information is more visible, as all our staff can access the scan results. In several instances, we've consulted with employees from the Veracode side, and they've been very helpful in walking our app team and testers through whatever vulnerabilities we've had issues with.
