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.

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

"My experience with Veracode across the board every time, in all products, the technology, the product, the service, and the salespeople is fabulous."
"Provides the ability to understand the black zones in our system."
"It's comprehensive from a feature standpoint."
"The feature I like most in Veracode is that it clearly specifies the line in the entire file where a vulnerability is found."
"It has an easy-to-use interface."
"Veracode provides faster scans compared to other static analysis security testing tools."
"In my experience, Veracode is one of the most powerful tools available in the market from a security perspective. It is a market leader in source code analysis."
"The valuable features are the static analysis and the dynamic analysis."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
 

Cons

"The only issue that we have is uploading the code, the process of actually uploading and getting our results back; all of that is a little cumbersome."
"The scanning is a little slow, but other than that it's fine."
"The reports on offer are too verbose."
"Improve Mobile Application Dynamic Scanning DAST - .ipa and .apk"
"The worst part about the product is that it does not scale at all. Also, microservices apps will cost you a fortune."
"Maybe the boards could be made easier to understand or easier to customize."
"The results of agent-based software composition analysis are not connected to policy scanning, and at present, it is a bit inconvenient for those in our organization who use agent-based Software Composition Analysis because, in the end, they need to make a static scan with all those libraries in order to receive that report."
"It will be beneficial for developers if Veracode Greenlight includes Python."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For enterprises, Veracode has done a fairly good job, but its pricing is not suitable for startups. The microservice distributed architecture for a startup is very small. I had to do a lot of discussions on the pricing initially. I previously worked in an enterprise organization where I used Veracode, and that's how I got to know about Veracode, but that was a big organization with more than a thousand employees. So, the cost is very different for them because the size of the application is different. Its pricing makes sense there, but when we try to onboard this solution for the startup ecosystem, pricing is not friendly. Because I knew the product and I knew its value, I onboarded it, but I don't think any other startup at our scale will onboard it."
"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 worst part about the product is that it does not scale at all. Also, microservices apps will cost you a fortune."
"To my knowledge, licensing for Veracode Static Analysis is paid yearly by my company."
"The licensing is fair, it is time-limited (e.g. one year) but there is a size cap for every app. If your applications are big (due third-party libraries, for example) you should discuss this beforehand and explore suitable agreements."
"The cost has been a barrier to wider use here. I think my team is the only one at the university. Other folks might like to use it, but it's pretty pricey. You could see what else is in the market, but I hear that's the price for most solutions. You might not find a better deal in the market, or it might be an incomplete solution. I mean, for the level of interaction we get with Veracode staff, it's been pretty good."
"It is an expensive solution, but it's the best solution available on the market. If you want something at the top, you have to pay a bit more than the average."
"Depending on the number of users, my company makes payments toward the solution's licensing costs."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
