Provides reliable applications security but needs better integration options

There are areas for improvements regarding false positives. Integration capabilities are lacking, as options for integrations with other tools such as SNOW, Jira, or other integration tools are not sufficient in Rapid7 InsightAppSec. The user interface sometimes has glitches, which may prevent appropriate results during navigation, and even when we get appropriate results, it can be impossible to export them to CSV records or download files. Regarding scalability, Rapid7 InsightAppSec is not a scalable solution for our industry due to limited integration capabilities. Rapid7 relies on another tool called InsightConnect, which requires additional investment, detracting from scalability. Another area that needs improvement is the integration of AI capabilities into the platform. Both Rapid7 InsightAppSec and InsightVM need to advance in that area. In terms of behavioral and pattern recognition, identifying complex attacks such as SQL, blind SQL, JSON, and LDAP injections often results in 94% false positives. This necessitates improvement in their behavioral-based analytics feature.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In Rapid7 InsightAppSec, a distinctive feature is the provision of a CDM for integrating web servers and web applications. To establish the connection between these applications, you only need to paste the provided CDN into your metadata. Once connected, every piece of information, including vulnerabilities, can be accessed. It also offers demo sessions."

"It's very easy to use and user-friendly. It does the job."

"It is very convenient to get reports from the tool, which offers high-level environmental statistics."

"We have seen measurable decrease in the mean time to respond to threats by 20 percent."

"The automatic automation of the automated authorization to the SCANNET environment is valuable."

"The solution is stable."

"It is a very robust solution."

"Rapid7 InsightAppSec is a good product for dynamic application security testing, providing neat reports that include validation actions and helping to generate web application firewall rules for web applications."

More Rapid7 InsightAppSec pros

"The best feature of Veracode is that we can do static and dynamic scans."

"Veracode does not require any maintenance."

"Overall, it does a very good job of preventing vulnerable code from going into production."

"By using Veracode, the code is secure, and there are no issues that will stop the release later on in the SDLC."

"The solution can scan old databases and old code written 20 years back."

"They actually help you every single step of the way and they want to show you how to do it."

"The main feature that I have found valuable is the solution's ability to find issues in static analysis, and additionally, there are plenty of useful tools."

"It eases integration into our workflow. Veracode is part of our Jenkins build, so whenever we build our software, Jenkins will automatically submit the code bundle over to Veracode, which automatically kicks off the static analysis. It sends an email when it's done, and we look at the report."

More Veracode pros

Cons

"The only concern I have with Rapid7 is that it does not provide enough information about vulnerabilities within AppSec."

"The reporting is definitely an aspect of the solution that's in need of some work."

"Scanning can be better. When you add new projects for the same product, it either duplicates or replaces the scan configuration."

"I required a solution to manage on-premises, but I was not as satisfied as expected."

"They should add more features. I would like to see them do a little more on static analysis and also interactivity analysis."

"I would like more details of what the product can do."

"The dynamic scanning feature has simplified and improved the security testing process. I suggest adding a SaaS feature to the solution to support scanning SaaS applications, making it more comprehensive. It would be beneficial if the solution could also scan mobile applications. It only scans web applications and should also cover mobile applications, including firmware recommendations."

"Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement in detecting phishing pages."

More Rapid7 InsightAppSec cons

"I've seen slightly better static analysis tools from other companies when it comes to speed and ease of use."

"Raw file scans and dynamic scans would be an improvement, instead of dealing with code binaries."

"Veracode scans provide a higher number of false positives."

"There needs to be better API integration to the development team's pipeline, which is something that is missing and needs to be improved."

"I would like Veracode to also have the ability to fix these flaws in a future release."

"Maybe the boards could be made easier to understand or easier to customize."

"In my opinion, Veracode lacks significantly in most parts, including its UI, its reporting, ease of use, and the features that it provides."

"Other than that, I don't really get too involved in the cost sides of things that's in my job, I'm more of a technical focus, but I have heard from my manager and a couple other people that the solution is quite expensive."

More Veracode cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not sure how much it costs exactly, but I know it's expensive."

"Its price is competitive. It is not expensive."

"I rate Rapid7 InsightAppSec’s pricing an eight out of ten."

"Rapid7 InsightAppSec is cheap."

"They offer a good price, but I don't remember its cost. It is fair as compared to the competition. We have opted for project-based licensing, not user-based. We can add any number of users. That doesn't matter. It is worth the money."

"The price of this product is very cheap."

"Pricing/licensing is complicated."

"The pricing for Veracode is high, making it difficult for beginners to afford."

"For our company, the price is reasonable for the benefits that we get."

"I don't really know about the pricing, but I'd say it's worth whatever Veracode is charging, because the solution is that good."

"The pricing is reasonable compared to other tools."

"I found Veracode very expensive, though I'm not the person paying for it. I was surprised to find out how much the subscription costs and that the executive board approved it, but it was a no-brainer because now my company has better security scans."

"I recommend going for a one-year licensing with CA, because currently they are the leaders in this field with more features and a much better turn around time with a cheaper position, but there are a lot of new companies coming up in the market and they are building up their platforms."

"Veracode is fairly priced."
