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

"So, it is everything that we wanted from a security point of view, and it is easy to roll out."
"I would give Veracode a nine out of 10 because it scales incredibly well, they have very qualified people working there who are able to clearly articulate what the problems are when they are talking in a remediation or consultation call."
"The most important feature is the static scanning analysis, and the reason is that it can tell us vulnerability in that code, right before we go ahead and push something to production or provide something to a client... Dynamic scanning actually hits our Web applications, to try to detect any well known Web application vulnerabilities as well."
"It helps us gain confidence that the applications we're putting out in the hands of millions and millions of people have that industrial-strength quality to them; that we don't need to worry about as much as we used to."
"The most valuable feature is detecting security vulnerabilities in the project."
"Code analysis tool to help identify code issues before entered into production."
"The Static and Dynamic Analysis capabilities are very valuable to us. They've improved the speed of the inspection process."
"Veracode's cloud-based approach, coupled with the appliance that lets us use Veracode to scan internal-only web applications, has provided a seamless, always-up-to-date application security scanning solution."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
 

Cons

"Veracode's container scanning could be improved. We containerize all the platforms we use inside a Docker image. For example, we create a Microsoft Docker image that we build our application on top of. I would like Veracode to implement IT scans before we commit the code."
"When we scan binary, when we perform binary analysis, it could go faster."
"Raw file scans and dynamic scans would be an improvement, instead of dealing with code binaries."
"It would be better if we had a channel for direct communication with the engineering team to speed up the process of providing feedback."
"There needs to be better API integration to the development team's pipeline, which is something that is missing and needs to be improved."
"The only areas that I'm concerned with are some of the newer code libraries, things that we're starting to see people dabble with. They move quickly enough to get them into the Analysis Engine, so I wouldn't even say it is a complaint. It is probably the only thing I worry about: Occasionally hitting something that is built in some other obscure development model, where we either can't scan it or can't scan it very well."
"I noticed there is no integration with Bamboo."
"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."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for Veracode is fair."
"I don't have firsthand knowledge of Veracode pricing, but based on client feedback, it seems to be expensive with additional fees for certain features."
"Veracode is one of the more expensive solutions in the market, but it is worth the expense because of the eLearning and the security consultations; everything is included in the license."
"Veracode's price is reasonable."
"Veracode's price is high. I would like them to better optimize their pricing."
"Aside from the standard licensing fees, we also have to pay for a competent Success Manager."
"I recommend going for a one-year licensing with CA, because currently they are the leaders in this field with more features and a much better turn around time with a cheaper position, but there are a lot of new companies coming up in the market and they are building up their platforms."
"They just changed their pricing model two weeks ago. They went from a per-app license to a per-megabyte license. I know that the dynamic scan was $500 per app. Static analysis was about $4500 yearly. The license is only for the number of users, it doesn't matter what data you put in there. That was the old model. I do not know how the new model works."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
