We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightAppSec and Veracode based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."You have various attack modules, and you also have the Attack Replay feature for the attack sequence. You can reproduce an attack and see it. That is a very good feature I noticed in this solution. It helps developers as well."
"The product’s most valuable feature is UI. It is easy to manage and find vulnerabilities in the application."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the graphical interface."
"The templates feature is very easy. You just choose the kind of attack you want on your web application, and you run it against that template and receive a report. It's great."
"It is a very robust solution."
"It uses a signature-based method to check for problems with your code and will provide an alert if anything is found."
"The initial setup for us was easy enough. We didn't face too many issues. Deployment took maybe 30 minutes. It's quite quick and doesn't cause too much trouble at the outset."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the remediation consulting that they give. I feel like any vendor can identify the flaws but fixing the flaws is what is most important. Being able to have those consultation calls, schedule them in the platform, and have that discussion with an applications expert, that process scales well and that is what has allowed a lot more reduction of risk to happen."
"The static scan and the detailed reports, which include issue information and permissions, are the most valuable features."
"The dashboards and the threat insights it provides are very good. The dashboards are intuitive and pretty straightforward, but also pretty detailed."
"I like Veracode's ease of integration with various cloud platforms and tools."
"The integration with DevOps pipelines is seamless."
"It allows us to prove our security levels to vendors, and additionally helps us with our HIPAA security policies."
"The SAST and DAST modules are great."
"When those scans kick, Veracode integrates back into our JIRA and actually open tickets with the appropriate development teams. We can use that as a measurement of vulnerabilities opened, closed; we can tie them to releases. So, we get a whole lot more statistical information about security in our software products."
"We'd like to see integrations with WAF solutions."
"When you add new projects for the same product, it either duplicates or replaces the scan configuration. If I run a scan for the same product with a different scan configuration, it should keep the previous scan configuration and not replace it with the new scan configuration. It should just add the new scan configuration. That would be helpful. They do keep the results as it is, but the scan configuration keeps changing. For example, I have set a scan configuration to a full scan, and next week, I want to run a new scan for the same product with some changes or new functionalities. I want to run a partial scan. Currently, if I change the scan configuration to partial, it changes the old one also to partial. That should be improved."
"In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing."
"The number of web applications we can scan is limited."
"The product’s pricing could be flexible."
"I would like more details of what the product can do."
"We get a lot of false positives during the tests."
"They should add more features. I would like to see them do a little more on static analysis and also interactivity analysis. Currently, it does very basic static analysis. It could do a little more static analysis, which is something that would help. A lot more interactivity analysis should also be there. It should basically look at security during interactivity."
"Scanning progress is highly dependent on the speed of the Internet."
"It will be beneficial for developers if Veracode Greenlight includes Python."
"The reports on offer are too verbose."
"Straightforward to set up, but the configuration of the rules engine is difficult and complicated."
"The runtime code analysis could be improved so that we can see every element in one place."
"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."
"The current version of the application does not support testing for API."
"Static scanning takes a long time, so you need to patiently wait for the scan to achieve. I also think the software could be more accurate. It isn't 100 percent, so you shouldn't completely rely on Veracode. You need to manually verify its findings."
