We performed a comparison between PyCharm and Veracode based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Static Code Analysis solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has a nice environment and extensions that make it easy to develop software."
"It is an excellent, fully integrated IDE with smart code analysis capability and a built-in debugger. It is a fantastic tool."
"The best feature of PyCharm is that it gives you hints whenever it detects any issues while you are coding. This is important because it helps us code faster and without any errors."
"The solution has a great debugging feature."
"The product's IDE feature is quite user-friendly."
"The recent AI-powered code completion is pretty cool."
"The integrated code structure makes coding more organized and manageable compared to using Python alone."
"Good syntax highlighting and very it's very customizable."
"Code scanning is the most valuable feature."
"What I found most valuable in Veracode is that it gives me a part-by-part report of the entire EAR file and lets me set up the application for a limited time. Once that expires, Veracode allows you to automatically renew it, which is one of the features I find remarkable in Veracode."
"Because it is a SaaS offering, I do not have to support the infrastructure."
"It's not "one policy fits all." I really like that Veracode allows me to set up specific policies that I can apply to applications."
"Veracode enables us to build a strong data security layer in our platforms. We can increase customer confidence in data security. Some PCI/HIPAA compliance issues were impossible to resolve without Veracode."
"The dependency graph visualization provides the ability to see nested dependencies within libraries for pinpointing vulnerabilities."
"I like the sandbox, the ability to upload compiled code, and how easy it is."
"The integration capabilities with our existing development tools are very good."
"There should be support for the RUST plugin in the Community edition for debugging."
"PyCharm's use of system resources can get pretty heavy. Loading, in particular, takes longer than I would like and I think they should optimize it so that it's a bit lighter on the system."
"They should improve the product's interactiveness."
"The solution does not support some features of OpenCV even though it is part of a PyCharm package."
"Notebooks in PyCharm is not as intuitive as it could be."
"There is room for improvement in memory usage. It uses too much memory. It can get a bit heavy, especially when you have too many open files and the system becomes very slow."
"The user interface and overall user experience could be more intuitive to make it easier for users to navigate and utilize the software effectively."
"The navigation can be better."
"Straightforward to set up, but the configuration of the rules engine is difficult and complicated."
"There is also a size limit of 100 MB so we cannot upload files that are larger than that. That could be improved. Also, the duration of the scan is a bit too long."
"Their platform is not consistent. It needs a lot of user experience updates. It's slow performing, and they log you out of the system every 15 minutes, so using the platform is challenging from a developer's perspective because you always have to log in."
"The only notable problem we have had is that when new versions of Swift have come out, we have found Veracode tends to be a bit behind in updates to support the new language changes."
"One concern is that scans take a long time to run. We scan at the end of the day because we know it will take a lot of time. We leave it to run and the report will be generated by the next day when we arrive. The scanning time could be reduced."
"We connected with Veracode's support a couple of times, and we got a different answer each time."
"The user interface could be more sleek. Some scanning requirements aren't flexible. Some features take some time for new users to understand (like what exactly "modules" are)."
"Veracode does not support scans for .NET Blazor server applications."
PyCharm is ranked 7th in Static Code Analysis with 8 reviews while Veracode is ranked 1st in Static Code Analysis with 193 reviews. PyCharm is rated 8.6, while Veracode is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of PyCharm writes "Convenient to use and surely increases the effectiveness of software development". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Veracode writes "Helps to reduce false positives and prevent vulnerable code from entering production, but does not support incremental scanning ". PyCharm is most compared with Fortify Static Code Analyzer, whereas Veracode is most compared with SonarQube, Checkmarx One, Snyk, Fortify on Demand and OWASP Zap.
