We performed a comparison between Fortify Static Code Analyzer and Veracode based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Static Code Analysis solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integration Subset core integration, using Jenkins is one of the good features."
"It's helped us free up staff time."
"Automating the Jenkins plugins and the build title is a big plus."
"Fortify Static Code Analyzer tells us if there are any security leaks or not. If there are, then it's notifying us and does not allow us to pass the DevOps pipeline. If it is finds everything's perfect, as per our given guidelines, then it is allowing us to go ahead and start it, and we are able to deploy it."
"We write software, and therefore, the most valuable aspect for us is basically the code analysis part."
"We've found the documentation to be very good."
"Its flexibility is most valuable. It is such a flexible tool. It can be implemented in a number of ways. It can do anything you want it to do. It can be fully automated within a DevOps pipeline. It can also be used in an ad hoc, special test case scenario and anywhere in between."
"I like Fortify Software Security Center or Fortify SSC. This tool is installed on each developer's machine, but Fortify Software Security Center combines everything. We can meet there as security professionals and developers. The developers scan their code and publish the results there. We can then look at them from a security perspective and see whether they fixed the issues. We can agree on whether something is a false positive and make decisions."
"I can have quick results by just uploading compiled components."
"It has the ability to scale, and the fact that it doesn't produce a lot of false positives."
"Veracode Security Labs are fantastic. My team loves getting the hands-on experience of putting in a flaw and fixing it. It's interactive. We've gotten decent support from the sales and software engineers, so the initial support was excellent. They scheduled a consultation call to dive deep and discuss why we see these findings and codes. That was incredibly helpful."
"With the pipeline scanner, it's easier for developers to scan their products, as they don't have to export anything from their computers. They can do everything with the command line on their computer."
"It has provided what we were looking for in such an application, meaning static application security testing functionality. That was what we were interested in."
"We use it to get our scan results and see where our software is vulnerable or not vulnerable."
"Wide range of platforms and technology assessments."
"Code scanning is the most valuable feature."
"The product shows false positives for Python applications."
"Not all languages are supported in Fortify."
"Their licensing is expensive."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"The generation of false positives should be reduced."
"Fortify Static Code Analyzer is a good solution, but sometimes we receive false positives. If they could reduce the number of false positives it would be good."
"The troubleshooting capabilities of this solution could be improved. This would reduce the number of cases that users have to submit."
"It comes with a hefty licensing fee."
"The only notable problem we have had is that when new versions of Swift have come out, we have found Veracode tends to be a bit behind in updates to support the new language changes."
"The Web portal, at times, is not necessarily intuitive. I can get around when I want to but there are times when I have to email my account manager on: "Hey, where do I find this report?" Or "How do I do this?" They always respond with, "Here's how you do it." But that points to a somewhat non-intuitive portal."
"The interface is one thing I find a little challenging. Veracode's interface feels a little outdated compared to other solutions, and it could be modernized. I'm mostly happy with the features, but Vercaode could add Docker image scanning."
"We have encountered occasional issues with scalability."
"Maybe the pipeline scanning doesn't support enough languages. It might only support Java and Python only, so that could be improved."
"It would be ideal if it was able to demonstrate higher levels of cybersecurity certifications like becoming FedRAMP compliant or working in those areas."
"I've found that Veracode is not particularly suitable for Dynamic Application Security Testing."
"One feature I would like would be more selectivity in email alerts. While I like getting these, I would like to be able to be more granular in which ones I receive."
