Partner experiences excellent technical support and seamless initial setup

In my opinion, if we are able to extract or show the report, and because everything is going towards agent tech and GenAI, it would be beneficial if it could get integrated with our code base and do the fix automatically. It could suggest how the code base is written and automatically populate the source code with three different solution options to choose from. This would be really helpful.

Effective scanning of diverse file extensions with fast reporting and issue resolution

We develop software packages for clients, and these clients are mostly in the BFSI sector. The packages need to be scanned, and we engage Fortify WebInspect for this. Customers typically perform their own application pen tests, but in some cases, we have engagements where customers want us to scan…

Static scanning and software composition analysis are very helpful, but the usability needs improvement

Static scanning and software composition analysis are very helpful. My colleagues and I don't need to be experts on all of those ancillary things, so we can focus more on the business deliverables. They have a pretty good tool that allows me to run scans of my local integrated development environment. I can find a lot of those flaws a lot sooner than I would if I had to wait for these cloud-based scans. They've come out with some sort of automated fix feature. I haven't used it, but they gave us a demo of it, and that one looks promising. I don't know if it's ready for prime time yet.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The features and technologies are very good. The flexibility and the roadmap have also been very good. They're at the forefront of delivering the additional capabilities that are required with cloud delivery, etc. Their ability to deliver what customers require and when they require is very important."

"It has all the features we need."

"The best thing about Checkmarx is the amount of vulnerabilities that it can find compared to other free tools."

"We use the solution for dynamic application testing."

"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are difficult to pinpoint because of the way the functionalities and the features are intertwined, it's difficult to say which part of them I prefer most. You initiate the scan, you have a scan, you have the review set, and reporting, they all work together as one whole process. It's not like accounting software, where you have the different features, et cetera."

"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the Best Fix Location and the Payments option because you can save a lot of time trying to mitigate the configuration. Using these tools can save you a lot of time."

"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."

"Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution."

More Checkmarx One pros

"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."

"When we are integrating it with SSC, we're able to scan and trace and see all of the vulnerabilities. Comparison is easy in SSC."

"The accuracy of its scans is great."

"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."

"The transaction recorder within WebInspect is easy to use, which is valuable for our team."

"Fortify WebInspect is a scalable solution, it is good for a lot of applications."

"There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to make our customers more secure."

More OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing pros

"Considering that in my project, we are mostly using Software Composition Analysis as a part of Static Code Analysis, for me, the main part is reporting and highlighting necessary vulnerabilities. Veracode platform has a rather good database of different vulnerabilities in different libraries and different sources. So, finding vulnerabilities in third-party libraries is the main feature of Software Composition Analysis that we use. It is the most important feature for us."

"The static scan is the most valuable feature."

"What I found most valuable in Veracode is that it gives me a part-by-part report of the entire EAR file and lets me set up the application for a limited time. Once that expires, Veracode allows you to automatically renew it, which is one of the features I find remarkable in Veracode."

"Veracode supports a broad range of code technologies, and it can analyze large applications. Fortify takes a long time and may not be able to generate the report for larger applications. We don't have these constraints with Veracode."

"The visibility into application status helps reduce risk exposure for our software. Today, any findings provided by the DAST are reviewed by the developers and we have internal processes in place to correct those findings before there can be a release. So it absolutely does prevent us from releasing weak code."

"All three of Veracode's offerings are valuable: SCA, SAST, and DAST. It helps identify security loopholes right in the development phase, allowing developers to get feedback around what kind of vulnerabilities exist as soon as they check in the code or even before that in their IDE."

"Veracode has impacted our overall security posture because we are from a security background. Every week, we review the dashboards of open findings."

"I appreciate the integration provided by Veracode that seamlessly integrates with our CI/CD tools and allows us to integrate with IPA as well."

More Veracode pros

Cons

"I would like to see the DAST solution in the future."

"Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model."

"We can run only one project at a time."

"Checkmarx could improve the solution reports and false positives. The false positives could be reduced. For example, we have alerts that are tagged as vulnerabilities but when you drill down they are not."

"Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement."

"The product's reporting feature could be better. The feature works well for developers, but reports generated to be shared with external parties are poor, it lacks the details one gets when viewing the results directly from the Checkmarx One platform."

"The resolutions should also be provided. For example, if the user faces any problem regarding an installation due to the internal security policies of their company, there should be a resolution offered."

"The statistics module has a function that allows you to show some statistics, but I think it's limited. Maybe it needs more information."

More Checkmarx One cons

"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."

"It took us between eight and ten hours to scan an entire site, which is somewhat slow and something that I think can be improved."

"Not sufficiently compatible with some of our systems."

"It requires improvement in terms of scanning. The application scan heavily utilizes the resources of an on-premise server. 32 GB RAM is very high for an enterprise web application."

"There are some file extensions, like .SER, that Fortify WebInspect doesn't scan."

"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."

"The main area for improvement in Fortify WebInspect is the price, as it is too high compared to the market rate."

"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."

More OpenText Dynamic Application Security Testing cons

"I would like Veracode to add more language support."

"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."

"In some cases we use their APIs; they're not as rich as I would like."

"Veracode should include the feature to run multiple scales at a time."

"It would help if there were a training module that would explain how to more effectively integrate the SAST product into the build tool, Jenkins or Bamboo."

"Third-party library scanning would be very useful to have. When I was researching this a year ago, there was not a third-party library scan available. This would be a nice feature to have because we are now running through some assessments and finding out which tool can do it since this information needs to be captured. Since Veracode is a security solution, this should be related."

"I would like to see them provide more content in the developer training section. This field is really changing each day and there are flaws that are detected each day. Some sort of regular updates to the learning would help."

"The scanning takes a lot of time to complete."

More Veracode cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is fine."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s pricing is higher than others and it is for the license alone."

"The license has a vague language around P1 issues and the associated support. Make sure to review these in order to align them with your organizational policies."

"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price is reasonable."

"The average deal size was usually anywhere between $120K to $175K on an annual basis, which could be divided across 12 months."

"The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."

"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."

"The solution is costly."

More Checkmarx One pricing and cost advice

"It’s a fair price for the solution."

"This solution is very expensive."

"The pricing is not clear and while it is not high, it is difficult to understand."

"The price is okay."

"Our licensing is such that you can only run one scan at a time, which is inconvenient."

"Fortify WebInspect is a very expensive product."

"Its price is almost similar to the price of AppScan. Both of them are very costly. Its price could be reduced because it can be very costly for unlimited IT scans, etc. I'm not sure, but it can go up to $40,000 to $50,000 or more than that."

"The price of Veracode Static Analysis is expensive. There is an annual fee to use the solution and the company is upfront with the pricing model and fees."

"Veracode provides value for the cost, with no additional charges apart from the standard licensing fee."

"I think it's a great value. It's at a price point that a small company like mine can afford to use versus, if it was too exorbitant, I wouldn't be able to use this product. The cost of the license is small in comparison to the value it brings"

"It can be expensive to do this, so I would just make sure that you're getting the proper number of licenses. Do your analysis. Make sure you know exactly what it is you need, going in."

"The pricing of the product depends upon the number of codes or the number of applications."

"The cost of scanning code is cheaper. It's typically $0.50 per line of code. However, it's expensive to run a high-level process that would normally require a human security expert. For example, penetration testing costs about $1,000 per application for penetration testing. The cost of these features may be too high for smaller organizations. On the other hand, Veracode's interactive application security testing is fast and cheaper compared to other software."

"The pricing is fair. You get a lot out of the product."

"The licensing and prices were upfront and clear. They stand behind everything that is said during the commercial phase and during the onboarding phase. Even the most irrelevant "that can be done" was delivered, no matter how important the request was."
