Veracode Reviews

Veracode is a DAST solution that we use for automated security scans of our APIs and front end. We perform daily scans of our applications so we can act on the results quickly instead of routine security audits that we might do yearly or quarterly. It's a complement to the standard penetration test suite.

Veracode helps us improve our overall security and build trust with our customers. For example, some of our customers have strict security requirements, and they need us to use more products. It helps our business by building confidence in our products' security. Veracode improves our sales and helps us secure contracts because we can demonstrate what we are doing to the clients. 

We can use it in our dev environment to detect issues early before they get into production. It saves time equivalent to one full-time security engineer. We have around 60 people on the team, but we don't need a security engineer. Our regular engineers can fix the issues themselves based on Veracode's report. 

I like Veracode's ease of integration and onboarding. You can quickly and easily get started with a new project or application. That's one area where Veracode shines relative to other tools we've evaluated. Other tools need more work or an engineer to do the setup. With Veracode, you can do the onboarding in a few steps quickly. 

Another beneficial feature is Veracode's reporting. The report not only outlines the security issues in detail but also offers some solutions. Even if one of our backend engineers isn't specialized in security, they can still fix the issue solely based on the suggestions in the report. 

When Veracode updates the pool of tests and security checks, it could be a little more transparent about what it is releasing. It's not clear what it's adding. They do thousands of checks, and when they add more, there aren't many details about what the new tests are doing. 

I have used Veracode for 2 years.

I rate Veracode 10 out of 10 for stability.

I rate Veracode support 8 out of 10.

Positive

Veracode is the first tool we purchased specifically for DAST testing. We we use altered secure tools, and we used to do penetration test, but using people. Right? Not not automated.

Deploying Veracode was straightforward. There weren't many steps. We needed to prepare our API specifications and set up our system. 

The price is worth it. You have to consider the cost versus the security Veracode provides. It's also cheaper than the other solutions we considered. 

I rate Veracode 9 out of 10. 

We use Veracode mainly for legacy software audits.

The most valuable feature of Veracode is the binary scan feature for auditing, which allows us to audit the software without the source code. Veracode's most valuable feature is the verified vulnerability database, and we can do a full software audit at our company, including all of the systems.

Veracode should provide more flexibility in its pricing and licensing modules so that it could be more affordable for all types of projects and not only for very active mission-critical projects.

With the solution's security audit feature, an enterprise should be able to cover all of its applications with the desktops. Veracode is simply too expensive for that. If you know about the price of a web application, and if you multiply it by 1,000, the return on investment doesn't work. It's okay for one or two projects running very fast, but it doesn't work for all the legacies. So, it's a huge amount of money.

There should be some lighter tool that allows you to do some audit scanned one time. Only ten percent of the applications are actively developed. About 90% of the other applications have no projects or budgets, but we are still vulnerable. It is too much if you buy it for all of that.

I have been using Veracode for three years.

Veracode is a completely stable solution, and we had no problems with its stability. The solution was a bit slow, but it was stable.

We didn’t face any issues with the solution’s scalability.

We know only one person from Veracode, and he supported us when we had issues, and he was able to solve everything.

Positive

We have previously used Checkmarx. Veracode's pricing is cheaper than Checkmarx, and it has some unique features like binary scan. In Hungary, Checkmarx is installed more than Veracode.

The solution’s initial setup was very easy. Only one or two people are needed for the initial setup of the solution.

Veracode is a very expensive product.

Veracode can list a lot of vulnerabilities, but processing all of them is a time- and resource-intensive process. I think Veracode has no innovative features because a lot of other software can do that. In our opinion, innovative features are a commodity with Veracode, but they are doing a good job.

The solution's ability to provide visibility into application status at every phase of development is valuable. It can be faster, but it can also slow down because our backlog may be much longer. There will be a lot of vulnerabilities or false positives that have to be processed. So, it is not black and white, but it is safer. Veracode has helped our developers save time.

Veracode has had a very low impact on our organization’s overall security posture because it is a very expensive product. An enterprise with 1,000 applications uses the solution for one or two applications. Veracode does not need any maintenance because it's cloud-based.

Veracode is very important to our organization’s shift-left security strategy when we have a project with enough sources to provide the license. I use Veracode’s cloud version. The return on investment with Veracode is good for one or two mission-critical projects running in the company. For other things, users should use open-source solutions or much cheaper products like SonarQube that are not as good as Veracode.

The fact that Veracode scans only binary code and doesn't scan source code concerns me sometimes. Sometimes, we have to do some source repository audits. We cannot use Veracode for source repository audits because it scans only binary code. I would recommend Veracode to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

We use the solution for identifying bugs before deployment in the software-side cycle process.

It can be integrated with our CL and CDProp pipeline, and it can be used with multiple integrations in our Visual Studio Code editor. That's the main use case.

We've saved a lot of time since using Veracode. We've also been able to cut down on costs since we require a lot of penetration tests for testing our software. Veracode helps us drastically reduce these costs. We've cut our costs down by 40%.

The solution provides us with a feature that we can directly use with static and dynamic analysis. With static analysis, we can use it while the app is not running, and with dynamic analysis, we can scan our application while it is running. It provides efficiency and also saves a lot of time for penetration testing and bug testing.

The capabilities of the analysis of the code base can help us effectively detect potential vulnerabilities. This is the most valuable feature we found. It can be integrated with multiple code editors, and it can also be integrated with various CI/CD pipelines.

The dynamic analytics is efficient. It helps us identify bugs while the app is running. We find that this ability is way better than its competitor.

Our impression of the solution's ability to prevent vulnerable code from going into production is positive. Prior to Veracode, we used to deploy our apps, and it used to be an expensive process to fix the bugs and all the potential vulnerabilities after deployment. Now, we have access to AI. It has AI tools, which have been trained with a lot of data sets. It helps us to detect bugs and fix them.

We use the free access to VeriCloud's application security consulting team. The consulting team has helped us a lot, and we've had positive experiences with the vendors. It is efficient and very fast. It takes less than two or three days, and they always respond positively. They are really fast at solving our problems. It's important for us to have access to an application security consulting team at no extra cost.

We use Veracode's AI-generated fixes. They make fewer errors and are very accurate. We've had a very positive experience. They've saved approximately seven hours of debugging and error finding versus the manual penetration testing process. 

The solution's policy reporting for insurance compliance with industry standards and regulations is very helpful. It's fast as well. The team helps us at every step of the product life cycle. They provide us with very useful visibility into things like static analysis, composition analysis, and manual penetration. It significantly helps us to reduce the time that we have to manually fix the bugs, and it also provides us with an efficient solution for future cases via past analysis through its data algorithm. We've saved six to eight hours compared to manual fixing.

Veracode has had a positive impact on our organization's ability to fix flaws compared to the prior. It has reduced our costs and time, and it has also provided us with multiple security functions. That, and it's made our application a lot more secure. It really helps our devs free up time due to less debugging needed on their part.

The solution has helped us a lot with our overall security posture. Many security features were fixed prior to release, and we've been able to reduce manpower and employee count. We've reduced teams from six or seven people to two or three. 

The integration capabilities with our existing development tools are very good. The integration process was easy. It has stable APIs.

The solution does take a bit more time when we use it for multiple processes. When we use it for a single process, it takes up less time. The cost also goes up when we use it for multiple processes. 

I have been using the solution for six months.

The solution is very stable. We haven't come across any bugs. 

Our security team of three uses the solution. 

It's great for scaling. We can use it on multiple projects which involve multiple security flows.

Technical support has been very fast and efficient. The team helps us at every phase of the development cycle. 

Positive

We did not use a different solution. Previously, we relied on manual testing. 

We deployed the solution in about three months. We had a team of eight working on the implementation. During the process, I was in charge of, IT was in charge of security, and the AI algorithm.

We don't require any maintenance.

Even after six months, we've seen an ROI. In terms of resources, it's great for cost-cutting. It also generally cuts costs by 40%.

The pricing is moderate for particular processes. However, if we take an entire process in general, it can be costly. It's more economical to use it for single purposes instead of generalizing processes. 

Thanks to its algorithm, Veracode is an on-demand service that can be very cost-effective. With so many features, we no longer require many people to test.  

If they are worried about pricing, people should try out their demo feature, which is available online. That way, they can demo and evaluate how it would work for them. If it works for their team and product, they may find it can optimize their processes. Of course, it depends on the use case. 

I'd advise colleagues considering Veracode to evaluate the specific requirements for their application and do an in-depth analysis. I would recommend it as a product.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. 

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 have data deployments for B2B and B2C with the product. Before we used a deployment center like Jenkins. We use it for backend content.

We've only used the solution for a year; it hasn't been that long.

The deployment mode is very useful.

We like that it can prevent vulnerable code from going into production.

We use the low-level elements and do greenlight deployment through Veracode.

It helps us manage our licensing and security risks. However, we are in the implementation process right now. So far, it's okay and working fine.

It's good that we can do a full code scan, front to back, or vice versa.

We mostly use the policy scan and vulnerability scan mostly. 

The security is okay.

The reporting can be difficult. It's not very easy.

It's taking too much time to do a quality scan. It hasn't saved us much time. Deployment was three or four months ago. We did a policy scan using a greenlight deployment. When we do the deployment in Jenkins, we can do it faster. In Veracode, it can take four hours or even eight hours.

We don't like how long it takes to do a deployment. It should deploy more quickly.

I've used the solution for a year.

While there is no lagging or crashing, it takes too much time to deploy. 

We haven't had any issues with scalability. That said, currently we are not scaling. Previously it was fine. Currently, we're not scaling. 

Currently, we do not use support. We don't communicate with them. 

We have used SAP and Jenkins in the past.

The deployment takes too long.

I was not directly involved in the deployment of Veracode. I generally use Jenkins only.

Two people are typically involved in the deployment. 

Every week, on Friday, we put the servers down, and every Monday, we put them back up, to save on costs.

The deployment is automated using Jenkins. We just need some parameters to deploy the code to the environment.

The pricing is worth it. However, users need to go through the documentation first to get a handle on the implementation. Users might need the help of a support platform.

We did not evaluate other options before choosing this solution.

I'm not sure how much visibility we are getting using the solution. 

The false positive rate we haven't really looked into. We need to learn more about it.

We are just end users, not partners. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

It's a good idea to look at the documentation. Be very cautious when implementing servers.

Veracode helps scan applications for security purposes to ensure they are safe before deployment. The solution is continuously monitoring the security of our infrastructure and workflows. About five people use the solution across our organization. 

Our security posture has improved since we implemented Veracode because our developers have a better understanding of the security risks that may arise due to some actions we take on various projects and tasks. We're more aware of how vulnerabilities can be introduced into our daily work. 

Veracode has reduced the amount we spend to remedy security risks by about 60 percent. Security testing is much easier than before. The time needed to address vulnerabilities can affect the workflows and lead to late delivery of our services across customers. It has helped us to mitigate risks by effectively monitoring workflows. The conditional scanning procedures we previously used have been replaced by modern systematic algorithms.

Veracode saves time and costs because it's flexible in terms of an organization's data requirements. It can provide data intelligence from various work platforms and guidance on the best practices for security mitigation so we can safeguard our data in various work processes.

The solution enables us to establish a strategic policy management infrastructure to monitor the performance of each application periodically and report on the security performance. The dynamic analysis gives us feedback from time to time and performance metrics inside the program interface. 

This platform is one of the most efficient and effective tools for upgrading applications to meet an organization's performance standards and policies. It helps us improve our development because sometimes the coding procedure might not reflect the latest threats. 

Veracode's most valuable aspect is continuous integration. It helps us integrate with other applications so that it can monitor the security process. By continuously scanning our applications, we can mitigate risks that may arise in some workflows. It streamlines compliance, policy management, and reporting on various data analytics. We use it daily to gain insight into our work processes.

The solution is built into our SecOps program. It offers modern policy management, essential support, and analytics features. It's efficient with fast and powerful risk-mitigation tools.

I think Veracode could integrate some advanced technologies to better address new threats as they arise. 

We have used Veracode for about a year.

Veracode has been a stable product. We've had some downtime, but it has performed well overall. 

I rate Veracode support a nine out of ten. Veracode's support team has always been helpful. When we contact them by phone or online chat, they respond quickly with a solution within the time frame established in our support contract.  

Positive

Deploying Veracode was straightforward, and we had help from the vendor's support team. Our deployment team has six members, and the whole process took about three weeks. 

After deployment, the product requires some maintenance. We sometimes face some networking challenges that require repairs, and we need to periodically update some tools.

Veracode is a good investment, and I can recommend it to anyone who is looking for the best security tester. I estimate that we saw a 60 percent ROI this year, and it continues.

Veracode is a little costly. It's cost-effective for a large enterprise, but it may be too expensive for small businesses. 

I rate Veracode an eight out of ten. I would recommend it to others who need to do testing for application performance or security and risk management. 

I have implemented Veracode for both static and dynamic analysis to minimize errors in my application and avoid the need for manual reviews. This enables us to create a risk-free application in the code. Additionally, I utilize external libraries and licensing to accelerate the process of identifying vulnerabilities in my software development. This helps me and the development team to provide comprehensive information about the code.

Veracode's capability to prevent the deployment of vulnerable code is impressive. It allows for quick detection of defects during the development cycle, leading to faster release of improved code, and ultimately ensuring that our product is free of vulnerabilities. This feature is a great advantage for our organization.

SBOM is beneficial as it enables us to verify software licensing through static scanning. This helps ensure that the product we provide in the market is compliant with industry standards and user needs. In my opinion, this is a fantastic feature.

Creating a report is easy when using a sample template that we can relate to. If we know what kind of data we want to include and how we want it to be presented, the process of creating a report can be completed quickly.

The main advantage of using Veracode is the assurance that we are developing stable, secure, and fast solutions that are free of risks. This provides us with a clear picture of our progress toward our goals. Veracode helps our developers by providing remedial action and reports in various formats, ranging from summary to detailed. This allows us to customize our reports and share visually appealing reports with the team.

Having visibility into the status of our applications at every phase of development throughout the software development cycle enhances our DevOps productivity and ensures a stable solution.

The false positive rate is valuable. The benefit is that the false positive results provide our developers with a clear understanding of their proficiency level in development. However, the drawback is that during fast penetration or testing, they may receive alerts that can cause frustration. Additionally, if they perform another test, the previous alert may not appear again, making it difficult to address the issue. Overall, I believe that false positives can boost our developers' confidence in their abilities to a certain degree.

The false positives identified through static analysis have been beneficial in saving us time. Due to our use of advanced tools and record-keeping practices, we have been able to streamline processes such as data importing, which may have otherwise required local or manual methods. This has resulted in significant cost and time savings for our team. With the ability to work remotely using tools like Veracode, we are able to provide effective reporting and management for all software applications.

Veracode has been a time-saver for our developers by enabling those with different programming languages and skills to collaborate and develop stable solutions together. As a result, we are able to save some time.

Our overall security posture has been positively impacted by Veracode. We are confident that our solutions are highly secure for our clients and stakeholders. With Veracode's assistance, we ensure that our applications and software are free from bad code and other vulnerabilities. By troubleshooting alerts, we prevent abnormal codes from reaching production, creating stable and secure solutions. Veracode helps ensure social sustainability during the UAT process before we release the final product to consumers, resulting in a highly secure end product. Veracode has enabled us to offer a stable and trusted solution that fosters transparency between our company and the end-users, supporting their needs and activities.

Veracode reduced the cost of our DevSecOps by allowing us to use a single tool that can be operated by a small team of developers. We saved around $1,500 USD using Veracode.

I believe that testing code early on is always beneficial, and using UI saves time by detecting issues in the flow before the release cycle through verification scanning. Additionally, I appreciate the integration provided by Veracode that seamlessly integrates with our CI/CD tools and allows us to integrate with IPA as well. Overall, I'm impressed with the integration and user interface.

Veracode can be slow at times and has room for improvement, which may cause delays in our products and prolonged static scans. However, we can run these scans in the background to minimize disruptions. Static scanning can be a slow process that requires some time.

The cost and scalability also have room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for three years.

Veracode has no downtime and is highly stable.

The scalability is neutral because it lacks some integration. We have 12 end-users within our software and engineering departments.

The technical support is responsive and helps us resolve our issues quickly.

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. I deployed the solution myself.

The implementation was completed in-house.

Veracode assists us in increasing our sales by allowing us to redirect the funds that would have been used to pay our ex-pats to troubleshoot errors or issues with vulnerable code. Consequently, we are experiencing a higher return on investment, and our company has generated over 55 percent return on investment since implementing Veracode.

The pricing for Veracode is high, making it difficult for beginners to afford. Whether or not Veracode is a viable option may depend on the specific needs and use cases of the user, as it may not be affordable for small businesses.

Veracode is costly, which makes it unsuitable for small organizations. However, if an organization has the budget for the solution, it is worth investing in.

I give the solution a seven out of ten.

I believe that it is a wise decision to test our code to ensure its security. Utilizing Veracode is a beneficial practice as it examines our code and provides recommendations on areas that require improvement. This ultimately results in a stable solution. However, I advise using Veracode only if the business has the budget for it, as it can be expensive. Any organization that chooses to use Veracode, can be confident in the quality of its solution but must be prepared for the associated costs.

We use Veracode for application scanning.

Veracode is able to prevent vulnerable code from going into production.

Veracode has helped us to identify the vulnerable code in our applications before we put them into production.

The solution allows us to ensure compliance with standards and regulations.

Veracode provides visibility into the application status at every phase of development which makes it easier for our DevSecOps to do their jobs.

I give a nine out of ten for Veracode's ability to identify false positives. The false positive rate has increased our developer's confidence.

Veracode has enhanced our capability to address flaws by identifying bugs that may not have been detected through static analysis data.

Veracode has had a positive impact on our organization by providing us with greater insight into our data.

Veracode helps our developers save approximately ten percent of their time by detecting code issues and enabling them to promptly fix bugs before releasing the information into production.

Veracode helps secure our private data which improves our overall security posture.

Being able to scan our applications and identify all codes and defects is an extremely valuable feature.

Scanning large amounts of code can be a time-consuming process and there is scope for improvement.

I have been using the solution for nine months.

Veracode is stable.

Veracode is scalable. We have between 300 to 500 users.

The technical support is responsive.

Positive

We previously used some open source solutions and the management teams decided to switch over to Veracode.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

We have Veracode deployed in multiple locations.

Maintenance is only required when updating the solution.

You should evaluate multiple solutions, but I suggest considering Veracode if it aligns with the organization's requirements.
