AkashSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Product Specialist at Meteonic Innovation Pvt. Ltd.
Training has improved secure coding skills and now empowers developers to fix issues faster
The kind of remediation that Codebashing trains developers on is outstanding, as it relates developers to real-life use cases. I would like to highlight the tournament feature of Codebashing as great, allowing us to organize competitions among skilled developers, which helps identify the best and most productive individuals in our organization. Codebashing's adaptive learning paths help us by addressing different use cases among our customers, as some follow OWASP Top 10 guidelines while others adhere to CWE, PCI DSS, or HIPAA. This means Codebashing helps us comply with these requirements so developers do not make mistakes when remediating issues found in the source code. I have a very clear example regarding the measurable impact Codebashing has had on our team's ability to identify security flaws early in development. One customer in the aviation sector had around 7.8 vulnerabilities in one thousand lines of code before implementing Checkmarx or Codebashing. After using Codebashing, we improved our mean time to remediation (MTTR) and reduced the defect count to 3.6 in one thousand lines of code.

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

"From an academic point of view, Codebashing is a very good product because it is based on gamification. This is especially true if you don't have any idea about secure code training. It is one of the best tools in the world to learn secure coding. The product explains very well how vulnerabilities can be found and how programmers can develop securely."
"According to the feedback, it's an easy-to-use application tool."
"The installation phase of the tool is simple."
"From an academic point of view, Codebashing is a very good product because it is based on gamification."
"The platform is simple, easy to use, and easy to learn."
"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."
"With Codebashing we can see a clear difference; the vulnerability fixing ratio became 160% per month, and the density counts started reducing after implementation."
"To be honest, this is a very well-designed product, with the most essential competitive advantage being, as previously stated, gamification."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the guided approach of walking the developer through the best way to fix the issues in the codebase."
"Overall, they will get a lot of value from Veracode Security Labs."
"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."
"They put together a complete solution that has a number of components."
"Veracode gives us a comprehensive analysis and reporting structure."
"It is one of the best solutions in the market to help train the developers."
 

Cons

"The product's pricing could be more flexible."
"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."
"This solution is not freeware and more expensive than similar products."
"Codebashing is powerful, but it is not perfect."
"The solution should make the configuration more simple. Sometimes the configuration is complex."
"There are some lacking vulnerabilities in Codebashing platform itself, making it both advantageous and disadvantageous."
"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."
"We would like to be able to add our own lessons to the platform because right now we can't add our own information."
"There are two parts that I think should be improved. Both the web page and the report have the same issue."
"The database portion of it where it's loading and analyzing seemed to be a little more laborious compared to the Java stuff which was easier to use and more streamlined."
"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."
"It would be good if there were more assignment problems in the inventory, as well as more randomness in the coding examples."
"The only area of this solution that needs improvement is the pricing for startups."
"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."
"Its ability to handle more types of files and making it work better with databasing and other API could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"This solution is not freeware and more expensive than similar products."
"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."
