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.

AlejandroMosso

Senior Solutions Architect at IDS Comercial

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.

Room For Improvement

Users demand better reporting, documentation, UI, site performance, API limits, custom reports, vulnerability management, and integration support.

Veracode users face false positives, outdated UI, integration issues, slow scans, and desire flexible pricing and improved support.

When we have given a very long tag, it doesn't work as expected and requires excessive scrolling.

DevOps Engineer at Syvora

somehow you need to adapt your GitLab pipeline and turn them into JFrog pipeline, and this is something they don't really advertise at first—you're obliged to use the JFrog CLI.

DevSecOps Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

X-ray needs improvement in supporting more than one database, as it currently only supports PostgreSQL.

Development Senior at a financial services firm 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.

Himadri Subudhi

Works

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.

Brintha Prabakar

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.

The basic scanning capabilities come with Artifactory, however, curation requires additional licenses.

Offers flexibility across clouds and easy credential management while interface improvements are needed

DevOps Engineer at Syvora

For JFrog Xray, the Artifactory and package repositories are valuable features. There are many benefits from JFrog Xray. For example, with other registries such as ECR, we can use the images only in the AWS cloud. With JFrog, we can use this registry from any cloud or work locally as well. JFrog can support multiple packages, such as NuGet package, pip, and other technologies. It can be used for Terraform as well. The credential management is very easy in JFrog. For instance, when using GitHub action as a CI/CD tool, I just need to create a token and set up JFrog CLI there and give access to the repository. With multiple repositories, I can generate a token for a specific repository, add that token in the GitHub secret, fetch from the CI/CD, run the command JFrog CLI, and authenticate through the token. Then we can push the images into JFrog.

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.
