Helps ensure that third-party libraries we're using are safe, but the scanning process can be more streamlined
It is somewhat complex compared to Fortify. As a Fortify user for almost five years, I find Veracode complex, but others in my team who have used it for eight to nine years don't find such issues. When we were doing manual scans before CI/CD integration, it was easier. It took approximately four to five months to onboard the solution because it was new to developers as well. There was a certain process to be followed to get access and integrate it into the CI/CD tools. We had to explain the report format to them, showing where they could find vulnerabilities and how they could fix the code, including finding safer versions of libraries and dependencies. This took almost half of 2023, and now in 2025, they do not need our help except for technical problems when there are numerous scans in the pipeline.

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 solution's technical support is absolutely fantastic and very fast."
"Informs me of code security vulnerabilities. Bamboo build automation with Veracode API calls are used.​"
"The valuable features are the static analysis and the dynamic analysis."
"The most important features, I would say, are the scanning abilities and the remediation abilities within the product. Scanning because, obviously, we want to make sure that our application code is flaw-free. And the remediation tools are helpful to the developers to help them track and manage their flaws."
"Veracode's integration with our continuous integration solution is what I've found to be the most valuable feature. It is easy to connect the two and to run scans in an automated way without needing as much manual intervention."
"It does software composition analysis, discovering open source software weaknesses."
"All of the Veracode applications operate as one platform, and with Veracode, you get a single pane of glass and reporting that you can combine with the different scan types to look at compliance."
"With the pipeline scanner, it's easier for developers to scan their products, as they don't have to export anything from their computers. They can do everything with the command line on their computer."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see an improved component of it work in a DevOps world, where the scanning speed does not impede progress along the AppSec pipeline."
"There are few languages that take time for scanning. It covers the majority of languages from C to Scala, but it doesn't support certain languages and the newer versions of certain languages."
"It needs better controls to include or exclude specific sections when creating a report that can be shared externally with customers and prospects."
"It takes a while to get a response to the software composition analysis. It is within an acceptable range but it could still be improved."
"But the support is a little bit expensive and it could be a little bit better."
"It needs better controls to include/exclude specific sections when creating a report that can be shared externally with customers and prospects."
"I would like to see the following: Correction of the regularly received false positives, options to manage comments and mitigations, and better UI functionality."
"Maybe the boards could be made easier to understand or easier to customize."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Without getting too specific, I'd say the average yearly cost is around $50,000. The costs include licensing and maintenance support."
"For our company, the price is reasonable for the benefits that we get."
"It is very reasonably priced compared to what we were paying our previous vendor. For the same price, we are getting much more value and reducing our AppSec costs from 40 to 50 percent."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other tools."
"The licensing cost for Veracode is fair."
"Veracode provides value for the cost, with no additional charges apart from the standard licensing fee."
"Pricing-wise, I find it a bit expensive because it's based on the number of users requesting access to Veracode."
"Veracode's pricing is on the higher end, but it is acceptable."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
