Easy to scale and does a good job, but only for a limited number of technologies
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature comes from the fact that it is cloud-based, and I can scale up without having to worry about any other infrastructure needs."
  • "I would like to see expanded coverage for supporting more platforms, frameworks, and languages."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case for this solution is application security.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature comes from the fact that it is cloud-based, and I can scale up without having to worry about any other infrastructure needs.

What needs improvement?

This solution does a good job, but it is limited to only a few technologies. I would like to see expanded coverage for supporting more platforms, frameworks, and languages.

Specifically, I would like to see support for mobile frameworks like Xaramin and React JS, as well as extended support for iOS applications.

For how long have I used the solution?

Five years.

851,823 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is quite scalable.

We have approximately fifty users, but we definitely have plans to add more.

How are customer service and support?

I have used their technical support and they are quite good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

This solution is on the pricey side. They have just streamlined the licensing and they have a number of flexible options available, so overall it is quite good, albeit pricey.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated other options, but we chose Veracode.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for anybody who is interested in implementing this solution is to ensure that your technology is actually supported because the coverage is quite patchy. It is possible that if you use a framework or a language that Veracode does not support then it will give quite poor results.

I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

We're much more security conscious when writing code, to meet the benchmarks it gives us
Pros and Cons
  • "We use it to get our scan results and see where our software is vulnerable or not vulnerable."
  • "The user interface can sometimes be a little challenging to work with, and they seem to be changing their algorithm on what is an issue. I understand why they do it, but it sometimes causes more work on our end."

What is our primary use case?

Dynamic and static scanning.

How has it helped my organization?

We're being much more security conscious whenever we're writing code, and we're trying to make sure it's giving us a benchmark, and to make sure we meet that, on a release cycle.

In terms of AppSec best practices, it has made everybody more conscious about what they're trying to accomplish, because they know at the end of the release cycle we're going to be running scans. They basically need to make sure they adhere to all the rules.

Our customers have benefited from the added application security we offer because they're more confident that our software isn't going to expose their organizations to any risk.

What is most valuable?

The ability to run scans. It's a critical piece of why we use the platform. We use it to get our scan results and see where our software is vulnerable or not vulnerable.

It's part of our SDLC now.

What needs improvement?

The user interface can sometimes be a little challenging to work with, and they seem to be changing their algorithm on what is an issue. I understand why they do it, but sometimes it causes more work on our end.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No issues with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Not that I know of.

How is customer service and technical support?

I have not contacted tech support.

How was the initial setup?

It seemed straightforward. I didn't actually do the work, but from what I was told, it seemed like it was fairly easy to get going.

What was our ROI?

I cannot give numbers on any cost savings related to code fixes since implementing CA Veracode in our development process.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's worth the value.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did evaluate other options, but I can't remember who we looked at.

What other advice do I have?

I would be highly likely to recommend working with CA Veracode to colleagues. 

I rate it an eight out of 10. It's a good product - I can't say that it's lighting my world on fire - but it does what it needs to do.

Just be prepared that it's going to take effort from all aspects of the business to be able to utilize and achieve the goal that you're looking to achieve with the product.

Source code composition analysis helps with vulnerabilities and license compliance
Pros and Cons
  • "Veracode is a valuable tool in our secure SDLC process."
  • "It needs better controls to include/exclude specific sections when creating a report that can be shared externally with customers and prospects."

We have heard the need for faster scan times and I see this was an area you wanted to see improvement. I wanted to give you an update regarding our Static scanning. We recently extended the Veracode Static Analysis product family to include three purpose-built scan types:

• IDE Scan, which provides fast, automated security feedback to developers in the IDE, in seconds
• Pipeline Scan, a new, first-of-its-kind offering, which runs on every build and provides security feedback on code at a team level, with a median scan time of 90 seconds
• Policy Scan, which returns a full security assessment of the code before release, in a median scan time of 8 minutes

If you would like more information on our static analysis improvements let me know!

Makes us aware of any potential code security vulnerabilities in our products
Pros and Cons
  • "Informs me of code security vulnerabilities. Bamboo build automation with Veracode API calls are used.​"
  • "The user interface could be more sleek. Some scanning requirements aren't flexible. Some features take some time for new users to understand (like what exactly "modules" are)."

What is our primary use case?

Scanning for code security vulnerabilities within our company's products.

How has it helped my organization?

Made our company aware of any potential code security vulnerabilities. Also, customers can use our products knowing they are verified by top organizations as safe.

What is most valuable?

Informing me of application security vulnerabilities. Bamboo build-automation with Veracode API calls are used.

What needs improvement?

  • The user interface could be more sleek.
  • Some scanning requirements aren't flexible.
  • Some features take some time for new users to understand (like what exactly "modules" are).

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No issues with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No issues with scalability.

How is customer service and technical support?

Great.

How was the initial setup?

Somewhat straightforward. There was a little confusion about "missing modules" that are third-party files that we couldn't upload because we don't actually have them. That really confused us, but the technical support resolved the confusion.

What was our ROI?

I can't report on any cost savings relating to code fixes since implementing Veracode in our development process, but it makes us feel more confident about our code, which is awesome.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We are satisfied.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

None. We might look into Checkmarx.

What other advice do I have?

I am very likely to recommend Veracode to colleagues. Veracode is great.
