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

"To be honest, this is a very well-designed product, with the most essential competitive advantage being, as previously stated, gamification."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with WhiteSource, which allows for open-source scanning."
"The most valuable feature is that you get the security from the design of the training, as it ensures our developers write code securely and effectively so they will not write code that is vulnerable to hackers."
"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."
"The stability of the solution is excellent; it's very reliable."
"There are lots of great plugins available."
"There's a lot of flexibility and there are a lot of configuration options."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The installation is straightforward."
"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."
"It provides a complete review of vulnerabilities & possible fixes for OWASP Top 10 in one place."
"It is one of the best solutions in the market to help train the developers."
"I like the end-to-end learning experience. That also includes SAST. It has a low false positive rate."
 

Cons

"This solution is not freeware and more expensive than similar products."
"Codebashing is powerful, but it is not perfect."
"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."
"We would like to be able to add our own lessons to the platform because right now we can't add our own information."
"This solution could be improved by offering an increased number of quizzes after each module. The GUI for this solution could also be updated to be more modern."
"There are some lacking vulnerabilities in Codebashing platform itself, making it both advantageous and disadvantageous."
"If customers would be able to define their own quizzes or exams, it would be very good. That is the only missing part that I see - customer based scenarios, examinations and quizzes."
"The product's pricing could be more flexible."
"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."
"The only area of this solution that needs improvement is the pricing for startups."
"Developers frequently complain to me about the user interface and the difficulty in navigating the web site."
"There are two parts that I think should be improved. Both the web page and the report have the same issue."
"Its ability to handle more types of files and making it work better with databasing and other API could be improved."
 

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