Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.9
Lacework FortiCNAPP enhances ROI by automating monitoring, integrating with Jira, reducing personnel needs, and improving security management.
Sentiment score
6.9
Veracode improved code quality, security, and efficiency, leading to cost savings, faster releases, and enhanced operational benefits for organizations.
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.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.8
Lacework FortiCNAPP's customer service is valued for proactive communication, Slack integration, and reliable technical support despite occasional delays.
Sentiment score
7.4
Veracode provides effective, prompt support with knowledgeable staff, though response times and coordination occasionally need improvement.
Access to the engineering team is crucial for faster feedback on the product fix process.
They are very responsive and quick to help with queries within our scope.
They respond very quickly since security is something critical.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Lacework FortiCNAPP is praised for scalability, adaptable across various environments, with minor licensing challenges noted by users.
Sentiment score
7.5
Veracode is scalable and effective for large user volumes, though some note potential scaling costs and manageable packaging challenges.
Cloud solutions are easier to scale than on-premise solutions.
It has a good capacity to scale effectively.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Lacework FortiCNAPP demonstrates stable performance with minimal issues and rare non-disruptive delays, fostering user confidence in its capabilities.
Sentiment score
8.0
Users find Veracode stable and reliable, with occasional well-communicated maintenance and improved stability, despite some glitches and false positives.
If the Veracode server is down, we experience many issues during the scan.
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

Lacework FortiCNAPP enhancements focus on visibility, IAM controls, usability, integration, and granularity in alert management and reporting.
Veracode faces criticism for false positives, outdated UI, slow scans, high costs, and poor support for new technologies.
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.
A nice addition would be if it could be extended for scenarios with custom cleansers.
 

Setup Cost

Lacework FortiCNAPP offers stable, competitive pricing, starting at $80,000 annually, with a unique, refined licensing structure.
Veracode's high pricing suits large enterprises but is challenging for smaller businesses, with negotiable terms for optimal value.
It's not the most expensive solution.
If there's a security gap, you'll never know the cost or effect.
Pricing-wise, I find it a bit expensive because it's based on the number of users requesting access to Veracode.
 

Valuable Features

Lacework FortiCNAPP excels with ease of use, machine learning anomaly detection, compliance reports, and seamless multi-cloud security integration.
Veracode integrates with CI/CD pipelines, offering fast scans, low false positives, and tools for efficient vulnerability management and compliance.
It offers confidence by preventing exposure to vulnerabilities and helps ensure that we are not deploying vulnerable code into production.
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.

Featured Reviews

Carlos Vitrano - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides quick visibility and significantly reduces alerts
Its integrations with third-party SIEMs can be better. That is one of the things that we discussed with them. We have integrations, for instance, with Splunk. The data that we are receiving in Splunk is huge, and it is valid because Lacework has a bunch of data that they can provide to you. However, to be able to import the data and create alerts, we needed to do some work, so integration is one of the things that they can improve. For container security, how they scan images and how they provide results is something that they need to continue improving in terms of visibility. We already have visibility to several artifacts, but they can take that to the next level and see what else they can do. There can be better integrations with CI/CD pipelines. There can be improvements in terms of how we can take action or how we can report from the number of inventories they are providing to us.
David-Robertson - PeerSpot reviewer
Static scanning and software composition analysis are very helpful, but the usability needs improvement
Static scanning and software composition analysis are very helpful. My colleagues and I don't need to be experts on all of those ancillary things, so we can focus more on the business deliverables. They have a pretty good tool that allows me to run scans of my local integrated development environment. I can find a lot of those flaws a lot sooner than I would if I had to wait for these cloud-based scans. They've come out with some sort of automated fix feature. I haven't used it, but they gave us a demo of it, and that one looks promising. I don't know if it's ready for prime time yet.
