Head of Security Architecture at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Onboarding developers successfully while improving code security through IDE integration

Regarding room for improvement, we have some problems when onboarding new projects because the build process has to be done in a certain way, as Veracode analyzes the binaries and not the code by itself alone. If the process is not configured correctly, it doesn't work. That's one of the things that we are discussing with Veracode. Something positive that we've been able to do is submit formal feature requests to them, and they are working on them; they've already solved some of them. This encourages us to propose new ideas and improvements. Another improvement that we asked for this use case is to be able to configure how Veracode Fix proposes and fixes because sometimes it makes proposals using libraries that go against our architecture design made by the enterprise architecture team. For example, we want them to propose using another library, and that's something we already asked Veracode, and they are working on it. We want to specify when you see this kind of vulnerability, you can only propose these two options.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable feature is the CWE ratio."

"The developers' awareness of the security weaknesses within their code has improved. They aren't just mitigating these issues, they are realizing these are, in fact, issues that have to be dealt with."

"Veracode provides faster scans compared to other static analysis security testing tools."

"The solution is stable. we've never had any issues surrounding its stability."

"Static code scanning is the most valuable feature."

"Veracode Fix is a new feature that functions similarly to auto-remediation for low or medium flaw codes."

"The most valuable feature is the security and vulnerability parts of the solution. It shows medium to high vulnerabilities so we can find them, then upgrade our model before it is too late. It is useful because it automates security. Also, it makes things more efficient. So, there is no need for the security team to scan every time. The application team can update it whenever possible in development."

"That it is a cloud-based solution is very valuable to us. We don't need that hardware running our scans and hosting the environment to be scanned. Also, the technology, the static scanning versus dynamic scanning produces a much better result, a more accurate result."

"Veracode Security Labs are fantastic. My team loves getting the hands-on experience of putting in a flaw and fixing it. It's interactive. We've gotten decent support from the sales and software engineers, so the initial support was excellent. They scheduled a consultation call to dive deep and discuss why we see these findings and codes. That was incredibly helpful."

Cons

"The product's installation speed needs improvement. It should be less than 30 to 45 minutes."

"There are times when certain modules cannot be scanned automatically, requiring us to manually select these modules and initiate the scanning process on our side."

"A nice addition would be if it could be extended for scenarios with custom cleansers."

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

"Sometimes, the scans halt or drop for some reason, and we need to get help from Veracode to fix it."

"Veracode's ability to fix flaws is less sophisticated than that of its competitors."

"Sometimes Veracode gives us results about small glitches in the necessary packages. For example, we recently found issues with Veracode's native libraries for .NET 6 that were fixed in the next versions of those libraries. But sometimes you do not know which version of the library particular components are using. The downside of that is that one day, the solution found some issues in that library for the necessary package we spent. Another day, it found the same issues with another library. It will clearly state that this is the same stuff you've already analyzed. This creates some additional work, but it isn't significant. However, sometimes you see the same issue for two or three days in a row."

"All areas of the solution could use some improvement."

"I would also like to see some improvement in the speed. Our developers are saying, "It takes 72 hours to scan it.""

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"Aside from the standard licensing fees, we also have to pay for a competent Success Manager."

"Compared to the typical software composition analysis solutions, Veracode is not so costly, although the static analysis part of it is a little costlier."

"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."

"Depending on the number of users, my company makes payments toward the solution's licensing costs."

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

"The price of Veracode Static Analysis could improve."

"When I looked at the pricing, it was definitely a value. In terms of the service and what it's checking, the cost was very reasonable, particularly because we could have multiple code bases as part of a project."

"If you're licensing, and you're looking at licensing models, you might want to ask Veracode about their microservice, depending on the company. If you are a microservice architecture, I would suggest asking them about their microservice pricing. I would suggest that you evaluate that with your code and their other licensing model, which is like a lump sum in size of artifacts, and just make sure that you price that out with them, because there might be some tradeoffs that can be made in price."
