Developer training has improved secure coding practices but now needs more advanced challenges
The quiz and the gamification that Codebashing has are the most valuable features or capabilities we have found so far. We have been using it for tournaments, conducting tournaments across the developers to test their knowledge and give them a token of appreciation once any developer has secured a runner up position, first position, and all. It is basically a learning and tournament thing that we provide here with the help of Codebashing. We have been seeing a lot of impact while using Codebashing. Since the vulnerabilities which we identify usually in the code are now less in the trends, the training of Codebashing and learning via Codebashing helps our developers. Codebashing reduces the chances of developers writing vulnerable code rather than writing secure code. It creates an impact on how our developers write code and understand how the vulnerabilities work. Rather than making them understand how the vulnerabilities can be exploited via a practical scenario, Codebashing gives a graphical representation of how and when the flow works, showing how the vulnerabilities work. It gives an impact on that. What we have been seeing is that Codebashing's up-to-date modules have addressed emerging security threats for our organization with the AI trends that we have been using. It allows our developers to make use of secure code AI and not just be relying upon the AI that could produce vulnerable code rather than focusing on the secure code that we can produce with AI and get rid of AI vulnerabilities. That is how it helps.

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

"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."
"To be honest, this is a very well-designed product, with the most essential competitive advantage being, as previously stated, gamification."
"In my opinion, the best features Codebashing offers are early vulnerability discovery, improved defensive coding habits, and catching what automated tests miss."
"Codebashing has been supremely helpful in educating engineers and cybersecurity professionals within my team on how to practice secure coding."
"I can recommend Checkmarx, in my opinion, they are good; their product is good, it has minimal false positives, they are user-friendly, and they are not complex at all."
"This solution has an interactive approach that allows you to quickly receive basic knowledge about vulnerabilities and how they should be fixed."
"The kind of remediation that Codebashing trains developers on is outstanding, as it relates developers to real-life use cases."
"The stability of the solution is excellent; it's very reliable."
"Veracode gives us a comprehensive analysis and reporting structure."
"It is one of the best solutions in the market to help train the developers."
"Overall, they will get a lot of value from Veracode Security Labs."
"Mainly it's just quality, the level of comfort that we have now just from using the product, just knowing, having another set of eyes, gives you a comfort level."
"They put together a complete solution that has a number of components."
"Veracode Security Labs stands out in getting vulnerability information detailed and also links back to developers certain modules that they want to get trained on."
"We are taking the pieces of advice that we get for Veracode fixes or remediation to develop better quality software."
"The features are so extensive, which is why they are ahead of the game, and the reason I continue to use this solution."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be updated and refreshed. It has the appearance of being very basic."
"For me being a security professional, the trainings that we did and the questions we did were comparatively a low hanging fruit and seemed very easy for us."
"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."
"Codebashing is powerful, but it is not perfect."
"I believe that certificates should be issued to users so that they can be used as proof of having completed that training. The certificate is currently not being used for any competence validation outside of the chance environment."
"The product's pricing could be more flexible."
"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."
"It would be helpful if the solution included tests or exams that would allow you to study, for example, all Java vulnerabilities, and then afterward test your knowledge."
"Developers frequently complain to me about the user interface and the difficulty in navigating the web site."
"It would be good if there were more assignment problems in the inventory, as well as more randomness in the coding examples."
"I would have liked to see a bit better auto-completion in the IDE, and there was a typo in one of the questions where the code you were supposed to copy was missing a pair of parentheses."
"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."
"There could be better integration between the API and the pipeline systems."
"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."
"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."
"Veracode Security Labs should cover more than only the OWASP Top 10."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licenses are renewed annually."
"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."
"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."
