Tharindu Malwenna - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Application Security Engineer at a newspaper with 5,001-10,000 employees
Developers have improved vulnerability awareness but require more customizable training options
It would be beneficial for Codebashing platform if we were able to quickly customize the questionnaires. Currently, we have to work with predefined questionnaires or utilize another language to create quizzes. I would prefer having a GUI for that aspect so I can provide tailor-made questionnaires for the developers, allowing me to utilize Codebashing platform entirely instead of depending on other solutions.

Head for Application Security at Hexaware Technologies Limited
Security training and detailed code insights have improved our shift-left practices but professional services coordination still needs refinement
There are certain ideas and certain vulnerabilities that you catch, and then it might not get through, and then we pull in under the license availability. There are certain licenses that assure the professional services. Though the team members get in and are sound in knowledge, there are few instances. This is a very corner scenario and I cannot generalize it, but in one specific scenario, it took three or four meetings with them to explain and bring the right person on board, clarify my view, and then they accepted at the very next point. It was kind of a little painful to bring the right person into the discussion. Otherwise, they usually send out developers into it with security knowledge, where I was looking for a security person who understands the core ideology of these vulnerabilities. That is one challenge I had with their professional service.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"According to the feedback, it's an easy-to-use application tool."
"The platform is simple, easy to use, and easy to learn."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with WhiteSource, which allows for open-source scanning."
"The kind of remediation that Codebashing trains developers on is outstanding, as it relates developers to real-life use cases."
"There are lots of great plugins available."
"In my opinion, the best features Codebashing offers are early vulnerability discovery, improved defensive coding habits, and catching what automated tests miss."
"The most important aspect of Codebashing, in my opinion, is the gamification advantage. When compared to competitors' offerings, the most significant thing to emphasize is gamification. The rest is similar to the competitors."
"It is a great solution, it's easy to integrate into and it is very common, very popular here, and anything you need to do, you can do it on the platform."
"The most valuable feature is the guided approach of walking the developer through the best way to fix the issues in the codebase."
"The coding challenges were well put together and I was happy to see some of the challenges even had a built-in web browser."
"The hands-on training has helped us to tackle modern threats by coding with vulnerabilities in mind from the beginning of a project. It has improved our process overall, and the number of vulnerabilities has been reduced."
"Knowledge of how to write a secure application, like OWASP ASVS 4.0, that is spread across the web is gathered into one place."
"Our developers are more security-aware and are writing better code. The e-learning option allows our developers to dig deeper into the security issues. Topics such as sanitizing input, carefully configured logging output, and other typical sources of vulnerabilities."
"The best part is that this is all within the web browser, so the developer doesn't have to install any development environments or download anything to work through the training."
"The features are so extensive, which is why they are ahead of the game, and the reason I continue to use this solution."
"Veracode Security Labs is very good for providing examples of code vulnerabilities in a developer’s chosen language. This is important because if a flaw is found, then they provide me with a few examples of how to implement it. I don't need to go to Google and try to figure it out myself. They already provide me with some good quality examples that I can use to implement the fix."
 

Cons

"If customers would be able to define their own quizzes or exams, it would be very good."
"It isn't a very friendly tool for beginners. In our company, we have to take training courses to learn how to use the platform."
"This solution is not freeware and more expensive than similar products."
"The user interface could be updated and refreshed. It has the appearance of being very basic."
"From my perspective, Codebashing might use some enhancement. Clients should be able to handle their tests directly according to their needs. That aspect of Codebashing is currently inflexible. Customers would wish to sign, compile, or manage their tests in accordance with their requirements. It is just not possible."
"This solution is available for Windows only and does not have a Linux distribution."
"This solution could be improved by offering an increased number of quizzes after each module."
"I think the video content of Codebashing can be improved and should be updated regularly, as we currently see minimal updates in terms of real-time vulnerabilities."
"Developers frequently complain to me about the user interface and the difficulty in navigating the web site."
"There could be better integration between the API and the pipeline systems."
"There are two parts that I think should be improved. Both the web page and the report have the same issue. Both are sometimes messy and very difficult to find information. You need to know where to look and especially where to find information. It can be a bit confusing in both the report and the web page. Quite often, I keep learning new things because some of the information is quite hidden. You need to click this link, then click here, and go here. Then, "Wow," you get so much information that you didn't know existed. Information is a bit hidden and there should be an easier way to access it after a scan is generated."
"Web application development covers much of the industry, but there are also developers working with these other technologies that could benefit from a learning environment more specific to their technologies."
"Once we worked on IAST, but they were asking an upfront investment of 50k, which was a little higher and it will not be an easy choice for most organizations. It is quite expensive."
"Its ability to handle more types of files and making it work better with databasing and other API could be improved."
"Veracode Security Labs should cover more than only the OWASP Top 10."
"I would like the team to make users like me aware of the new features sooner, so we can get the most from this product. Otherwise, there is no disadvantage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is not freeware and more expensive than similar products."
"As a developer, though I am unaware of the cost of the solution, the product is expensive since I faced some trouble upgrading to Python for Codebashing."
"I would prefer it if their pricing would be a bit cheaper. This is not my personal comment, this is the comment of the market."
"Licenses are renewed annually."
"It's expensive. Know that going in. Your organization, your programmers, and your product will be better for it though."
"The pricing for qualified startups should only charge for Veracode Developer Training."
"They have a Community Edition of this product that can be used free of charge."
