Pros
"When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."

More ShiftLeft Pros →

"The main feature that I have found valuable is the solution's ability to find issues in static analysis. Additionally, there are plenty of useful tools.""The solution's ability to help create secure software is very valuable. We're a zero-trust networking company so we want to have the ability to say that we're practicing security seriously. Having something like Veracode allows us to have confidence when we're speaking to people about our product that we can back up what we're doing with a certification, with a reputable platform, and say, "This is what we're using to scan an application. Here's the number of vulnerabilities that are on an application. And here's the risk that we're accepting."""The CSCA vulnerability scanning is useful.""I don't have much experience with the solution yet. We're looking at integrating Manual Penetration Testing with JIRA and Bamboo and then building that into a CICD model, so the integration is the most valuable feature so far.""I like Veracode's API. You can put it into a simple bash script and run your own security testing from your MacBook in less than 15 minutes.""The CI/CD integration is the most valuable feature of Veracode.""The most valuable feature is the efficiency of the tool in finding vulnerabilities.""The security team can track the remediation and risk acceptance statistics."

Cons
"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."

More ShiftLeft Cons →

"The scans were sometimes not accurate in version 2022. There were some false positives in the vulnerability reports. We used to get false positives, and we were responsible for checking all of the alerts and determining whether they were true positives or false positives. They might have already improved it. If they have not, they can look into how to mitigate false positives.""The language version support could be improved.""It could be improved with support for more programming languages, like SQL.""Sometimes, the scans halt or drop for some reason, and we need to get help from Veracode to fix it.""The scanning process for records could be faster and there is room for improvement in Veracode's performance.""The Greenlight product that integrates into the IDE is not available for PHP, which is our primary language.""Improving sorting through findings reports to filter by only what is critically relevant will help developers focus on issues.""I've found that Veracode is not particularly suitable for Dynamic Application Security Testing."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "Its complexity makes it quite expensive, but it’s all worth it, with all the engineering in the background."
  • "The pricing is pretty high."
  • "The worst part about the product is that it does not scale at all. Also, microservices apps will cost you a fortune."
  • "I think licensing needs to be changed or updated so that it works with adjustments. Pricing is expensive compared to the amount of scanning we perform."
  • "It's worth the value"
  • "Pricing seems fair for what is offered, and licensing has been no problem. All developers are able to get the access they need."
  • "It can be expensive to do this, so I would just make sure that you're getting the proper number of licenses. Do your analysis. Make sure you know exactly what it is you need, going in."
  • "The licensing and prices were upfront and clear. They stand behind everything that is said during the commercial phase and during the onboarding phase. Even the most irrelevant "that can be done" was delivered, no matter how important the request was."
