| Senior Application Security Engineer at a newspaper with 5,001-10,000 employees | 3.5 | Having moved to Checkmarx, I find Codebashing greatly improved our vulnerability fixing (160%). Setup was easy, and I appreciate its cost-effectiveness. While I value the training, I'd like more CTF options and custom questionnaire tools. |
| Risk Analyst at Deloitte | 4.5 | Codebashing is primarily aimed at flagging medium to high-risk issues in source code, with a user-friendly gamification interface. It needs improvements in intuitiveness and integration, while updates can be slow impacting its effectiveness. I previously used AppScan and RiskSense. |
| Lead Software Test Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | I use Codebashing for security testing and early vulnerability discovery, finding it stable and scalable. While its best features include improved coding habits, it could be more systematic and combined with automation for high-risk areas. I rate it 7/10. |
| I. T. Analyst at Tata Consultancy | 4.0 | We use Codebashing for code-scanning, appreciating its simplicity and ease of learning. It offers comprehensive guidelines, configurable rules, and an extensive library. However, we wish for more flexible pricing, as we currently purchase an entire instance. |
| Founder & Chairman at Endpoint-labs Cyber Security R&D | 4.5 | I highly recommend Codebashing for secure code development, particularly its gamification and ease of use. It's stable and scalable. My primary concern is the inflexible test management, as clients cannot independently handle their tests. |
| Chief Executive Officer at Ethnos ITSolutions | 4.0 | As a reseller, I find Codebashing an easy-to-use, stable training tool for secure coding. Customers are pleased, and support is excellent. My key improvement is issuing certificates for competence validation. Overall, I highly recommend it. |
| System Engineer at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees | 4.5 | I find this e-learning platform valuable for developer security training, ensuring secure code. It's stable and scalable, with good support. I'd like more quizzes and a modern GUI, but I rate it 9/10. |
| Founder & Chairman at Endpoint-labs Cyber Security R&D | 4.5 | I highly recommend Codebashing for secure coding training; it's excellent, stable, and easy, enhanced by gamification. My only suggestion is to enable users to create their own quizzes, which I see as the only missing part. |
