Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security.""Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you."

More Sonatype Repository Firewall Pros →

"I have found the user interface extremely helpful in prioritizing issues.""Static analysis scanning engine is a key feature.""Veracode supports a broad range of code technologies, and it can analyze large applications. Fortify takes a long time and may not be able to generate the report for larger applications. We don't have these constraints with Veracode.""It's straightforward, and it does not require a lot of time. It's a straightforward platform that you can use for performing scans or mitigating issues. It has a very good user interface. FAQs are also helpful in case you are not familiar with it.""The most valuable feature of Veracode is the binary scan feature for auditing, which allows us to audit the software without the source code.""What we found most valuable in Veracode is the ability to do automatic scans of our software. We've incorporated the solution into our SDLC process, so we take our builds before they get released and put them through scans to ensure any new vulnerabilities haven't occurred.""The most valuable features of the solution are its extensive reporting capabilities and user-friendly interface.""I like Veracode's ease of integration with various cloud platforms and tools."

Cons
"What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services.""The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature."

More Sonatype Repository Firewall Cons →

"The scanning could be improved, because some scans take a bit of time.""The UI is not user-friendly and can be improved.""The on-platform reporting needs to be opened up much more. We'd like to be able to look at the inspection data from a trending perspective in a much more open manner. I need to be able to sort and filter much more flexibly than I can today.""Third-party library scanning would be very useful to have. When I was researching this a year ago, there was not a third-party library scan available. This would be a nice feature to have because we are now running through some assessments and finding out which tool can do it since this information needs to be captured. Since Veracode is a security solution, this should be related.""The current version of the application does not support testing for API.""The training lab is not very user-friendly and takes a long time to set up.""It should include more informational, low level, vulnerability summaries and groupings. Large related groups of low level vulnerabilities may amount to a design flaw or another avenue for attack.""In the next release, I would like a proper way of packaging files for scanning and the packing of IOS apps and API Dynamic scan methodology."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is reasonable if you're a large enterprise developing code. It's not super-expensive."
  • More Sonatype Repository Firewall Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
