Sentiment score
6.6
Veracode enhances code security and quality, saves time and costs, supports compliance, and boosts client trust and retention.
The scanners of Veracode bring status of the weaknesses in the current infrastructure. It scans and provides reports regarding the servers, the network, and the applications running on those servers.

Regarding price, the evaluation should focus on how efficiently they will recover their investment, considering the time saved through the use of Veracode Fix, for example, and the ability to fix code at dev time compared to the problems faced when fixing after the product is already deployed.
Head of Security Architecture at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees
We did see a return on investment with Veracode, as we segregated our remediation efforts, which reduced our time to delivery as well as the number of engineers needed to help us in delivering a secure solution.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
FortiCNAPP is stable, with occasional minor detection issues and lags, yet frequent updates maintain steady performance.
Sentiment score
7.8
Veracode is highly reliable with minimal downtime and issues, though occasional scan speed and false positive concerns exist.
If the Veracode server is down, we experience many issues during the scan.
Lead Automation Quality Engineer in Leading UK Bank at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
It's not that easy to onboard, but once they have been onboarded on the platform, and the pipeline configured alongside the product configured, it works effectively.

Room For Improvement

FortiCNAPP requires improvements in integration, security features, user interface, alert management, and data visibility for enhanced user experience.
Veracode users face false positives, outdated UI, integration issues, slow scans, and desire flexible pricing and improved support.
The vulnerability part is not systematically organized; it is all clumsy in the web UI, and it is not user-friendly.
Software Engineer at a university with 5,001-10,000 employees
If it could be integrated directly with code repositories such as Bitbucket or GitHub, without the need to create a pipeline to upload and decode code, it would simplify the code scan process significantly.
We had issues with scanning large applications. Scanning took a lot of time, so we kept it outside the DevOps pipeline to avoid delaying deployments.
Lead Automation Quality Engineer in Leading UK Bank at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
A nice addition would be if it could be extended for scenarios with custom cleansers.

Setup Cost

FortiCNAPP pricing is flexible and stable, with costs ranging from $80,000 to $200,000 annually, not seen as prohibitive.
Veracode's pricing is costly, but its features suit large enterprises; smaller businesses should consider alternatives due to budget constraints.
It's not the most expensive solution.
Senior Solutions Architect at IDS Comercial
Overall, Veracode's pricing is lower and more scalable than many alternatives in the market.
DevSecOps Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
If there's a security gap, you'll never know the cost or effect.

Veracode provides comprehensive code analysis, vulnerability management, and integration tools, enhancing security and supporting complex project needs efficiently.
The machine learning capability in Lacework FortiCNAPP is used for threat detection.
Software Engineer at a university with 5,001-10,000 employees
It offers confidence by preventing exposure to vulnerabilities and helps ensure that we are not deploying vulnerable code into production.
Site Leader (India) at Industrial Scientific
The best features in Veracode include static analysis and the early detection of vulnerable libraries; it integrates with tools such as Jenkins.
It fixes issues directly in the IDE while you're doing it.

Software Engineer at a university with 5,001-10,000 employees
Improving security insights has been helpful but inconsistent vulnerability tracking needs attention
The vulnerability part is not systematically organized; it is all clumsy in the web UI, and it is not user-friendly. Regarding improvements, the vulnerability part, recent changes with user management, and Fortinet IM coming into place, which is not helpful at all because it cuts out the automation part, are the most important things. Lacework FortiCNAPP should have a new clean UI and ease of access for the users as that should be the main concern. There are limitations regarding the scalability of Lacework FortiCNAPP. There are also more limitations with integrations like GitHub or any other pipeline, CI/CD, or ISD. It is glitchy and works well only sometimes, and most of the time, the reports or other things are not properly calculated or circulated with the teams.

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.
