Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is scalable.""Technical support is helpful.""Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports.""We have seen a return on investment."

More Parasoft SOAtest Pros →

"The product provides guidance to develop secure software.""I like Veracode's static analysis. It was one of the core development tools when I worked with a telecommunication company where we were delivering new features for various applications and purposes each week, such as CRM, data channels, compliance, traffic data, etc.""Being able to scan our applications and identify all codes and defects is an extremely valuable feature.""The deployment mode is very useful.""I liked that I could easily find out where my errors were. Instead of going through the whole code and the scripts, it showed me where the errors were and gave me an idea of how to fix them.""One thing we like is the secret detection feature. It has helped us to discover keys stored in our settings file as a TXT document. We can address that vulnerability by using encryption. We can even scan Docker images for vulnerabilities. Static analysis is another good feature of Veracode because we can run a security scan during development to identify the vulnerabilities.""With the pipeline scanner, it's easier for developers to scan their products, as they don't have to export anything from their computers. They can do everything with the command line on their computer.""I like Veracode's static scanning and SCA. We use three static scans, software composition analysis, and dynamic scans. We haven't used dynamic scanning as much, but we're trying to integrate that into our environment more."

Cons
"UI testing should be more in-depth.""The summary reports could be improved.""The performance could be a bit better.""Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings."

More Parasoft SOAtest Cons →

"Veracode Static Analysis lacks penetration testing, so that's a concern. The tool is also unable to scan when it's a C or C++ model, so that's another area for improvement.""It can be a bit complex because it takes a lot of time to have it complete the task.""I do expect large applications with millions of lines of code to take a while, but it would be nice if there was a possibility to be able to have a baseline initial scan. I know that Veracode touts that there are Pipeline Scans that are supposed to take 90 seconds or less, and we've tried to do that ourselves with our ERP application. However, it actually times out after two hours of scanning. If the static scan itself or another option to run a lower tier scan can be integrated earlier on into our SDLC, it would be great. Right now, it takes so long that we usually leave it till a bit later in the cycle, whereas if it ran faster, we could push it to the time when a developer will be checking in code. That would make us feel a lot more confident that we'd be able to catch things almost instantaneously.""Veracode does not support scans for .NET Blazor server applications.""If you schedule two parallel scans under the same project, one of them will be a failure.""Veracode's container scanning could be improved. We containerize all the platforms we use inside a Docker image. For example, we create a Microsoft Docker image that we build our application on top of. I would like Veracode to implement IT scans before we commit the code.""There is room for improvement in documentation.""Veracode needs to improve its integration with other tools."

  • "Users in some forums mentioned that pricing for this solution can be quite high."

  • "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 pricing is a little on the high side but since we combine our product into one suite, it is easy to do and works well for us."
  • "For our company, the price is reasonable for the benefits that we get."
