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

"Their dashboard is really good, overall. In my opinion, it's one of the best in the market, and I say that because we have used other service providers."
"Veracode Security Labs are fantastic. My team loves getting the hands-on experience of putting in a flaw and fixing it. It's interactive. We've gotten decent support from the sales and software engineers, so the initial support was excellent. They scheduled a consultation call to dive deep and discuss why we see these findings and codes. That was incredibly helpful."
"The integration of static testing with our Azure DevOps CI pipeline was easy."
"Based on Veracode recommendations, I work with the dev team and remediate the flaw, and that's something that I would probably have missed if I did only the manual code review."
"For use cases where our company buys a product with the source code, but only the final executables or the binaries, only Veracode is able to work on that type of tool."
"The dependency graph visualization provides the ability to see nested dependencies within libraries for pinpointing vulnerabilities."
"The solution's technical support is absolutely fantastic and very fast."
"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, and 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.""
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
 

Cons

"I don't have the on-platform flexibility to sort and filter inspection data, and that's not good."
"My advice for anybody who is interested in implementing this solution is to ensure that your technology is actually supported because the coverage is quite patchy."
"The results of agent-based software composition analysis are not connected to policy scanning. So, for me, the only thing that Veracode can improve in Software Composition Analysis is to connect it with the policy scan because, at present, it is a bit inconvenient for those in our organization who use agent-based Software Composition Analysis. In the end, they need to make a static scan with all those libraries in order to receive that report. If Veracode implemented a connection between agent-based static scan and static scanning itself, it would be great because it would lead to fewer operations in order to prepare release documentation and release reporting from Veracode. We recently had a conversation with Veracode about it."
"Their technical support is less than stellar."
"Number one, I need analytics, analytics, and more analytics. It is all about risk based management and better decision support, that is why."
"Veracode's ease of use could be improved. I would also like to see more online videos and tutorials that could help us understand the product better. It would also be helpful if Veracode created a certification program for DevSecOps staff to learn about their product and get certified. This kind of training would raise the company's profile within the industry."
"However, the content wasn't getting uploaded in a predictable fashion, and it was slow and hard to get done."
"I would like to see more technical support for some of the connectors, some more detailed diagrams or run-books on how to install some of stuff; more hand-holding in the sense of understanding our environment."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have just streamlined the licensing and they have a number of flexible options available, so overall it is quite good, albeit pricey."
"The pricing for Veracode is high, making it difficult for beginners to afford."
"The pricing is pretty high."
"The Veracode price model is based on application profiles, which is how you package your components for scanning."
"There is a fee to scale up the solution which I consider expensive."
"We use this product per project rather than per developer... Your development model will really determine what the best fit is for you in terms of licensing, because of the project-based licensing. If you do a few projects, that's more attractive. If you have a large number of developers, that would also make the product a little more attractive."
"It is expensive. It depends on the use case, but it is very hard to find a pricing page on their website. Instead, they need to analyze your use case, but without knowing the entire project and how you're going to be using Veracode, how many scans you're going to do, if yours is a small business, it is very expensive and it affects ROI."
"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."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
