Early detection of vulnerabilities saves significant amount of time and effort
Veracode provides visibility into application status at every phase of development, as it's how we stitch it together, allowing us to introduce it at various phases to gain fast feedback. This capability increases the velocity in DevSecOps processes as developers receive feedback on vulnerabilities before committing, reducing the overall rework. It helps developers save time significantly. For instance, if I take a library and assume it's going to work until it reaches QA or UAT, where we find out there's a vulnerability, that can require extensive effort for code refactoring or redesigning; Veracode helps prevent that before the pull request is merged. Veracode impacts the overall security posture by maintaining data integrity, ensuring we are not exposed to threats from third-party libraries with known vulnerabilities. From my perspective as a SecDevOps evangelist, Veracode is crucial for an organization's shift-left security strategy. Veracode's SCA perspective offers tools that facilitate shift-left security by providing feedback before failures occur in the development process.

Helps with Zero-day protection
We use the solution for Zero-day protection.  The solution stops any kind of remote code execution.  The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load.  I have been using the product for a year.  I would rate the tool's stability a six out of ten.  I would…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The static scan is the feature that we use the most, as it gives us insight into our source code. We have it integrated with our continuous integration, continuous delivery system, so we can get insight quickly."
"The security team can track the remediation and risk acceptance statistics."
"The feature I like most in Veracode is that it clearly specifies the line in the entire file where a vulnerability is found."
"The SCA, agent-based analysis, is valuable. SAST and DAST take time, while this is quite fast. It gives the results very quickly. We have implemented it into our CI/CD pipeline."
"Overall, I think that if it's implemented correctly for the business, Veracode is highly effective in preventing vulnerable code from going into production."
"The article scanning is excellent."
"Compared to when we started versus now, we have done a phenomenal job, year on year our security debt has been continuously decreasing by 10 to 12 percent."
"The static code analyzer portion is adequate."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
 

Cons

"It's taking too much time to do a quality scan."
"It would be ideal if it was able to demonstrate higher levels of cybersecurity certifications like becoming FedRAMP compliant or working in those areas."
"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."
"The negative that I found is that it has a subscription-based model."
"The sandbox could use some improvement; when creating a sandbox, it requires us to put the application name in twice, which seems unnecessary."
"Veracode should include the feature to run multiple scales at a time."
"The solution has issues with scanning. It tries to decode the binaries that we are trying to scan."
"There are times when certain modules cannot be scanned automatically, requiring us to manually select these modules and initiate the scanning process on our side."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Costs are reasonable. No special infrastructure is required and the license model is good."
"Veracode's pricing is on the higher end, but it is acceptable."
"Veracode is fairly priced."
"The worst part about the product is that it does not scale at all. Also, microservices apps will cost you a fortune."
"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."
"They have just streamlined the licensing and they have a number of flexible options available, so overall it is quite good, albeit pricey."
"Its pricing is fair."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other tools."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
