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 most valuable features include the total developer experience, along with regulator exposure and DevOps pipeline. It encompasses everything as an enterprise solution."
"The best features in Veracode include static analysis and the early detection of vulnerable libraries; it integrates with tools such as Jenkins."
"Stable and scalable, with good reporting features. Helps in detecting and managing vulnerabilities and risks."
"The pricing is worth it."
"I appreciate the integration provided by Veracode that seamlessly integrates with our CI/CD tools and allows us to integrate with IPA as well."
"The recommendations and frequent updates are the most valuable features of Veracode."
"We use it to get our scan results and see where our software is vulnerable or not vulnerable."
"The SAST and DAST modules are great."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
 

Cons

"The cost of the solution is a little bit expensive. Expensive in the sense that there was a hundred percent increase in cost from last year to this year, which is certainly not justified."
"One of the most important areas that need improvement for Veracode is its DaaS. Veracode's DAST engines are primitive."
"They need to have a plug-in, a better integration with the development environment."
"Veracode isn't important to the organization's shift-left security strategy itself. It's a tool."
"When we implement a policy, it can be very difficult to locate."
"Their platform is not consistent. It needs a lot of user experience updates. It's slow performing, and they log you out of the system every 15 minutes, so using the platform is challenging from a developer's perspective because you always have to log in."
"An area for improvement I found in Veracode is the connectivity because currently, my company uses a plugin for the dev-ops cloud-based connectivity. A pretty helpful feature would be if Veracode gives a direct code for connecting to the Oracle server directly and authenticating it via a unique server."
"Veracode could be improved in terms of the UI platform as it could be more seamless, and if they allow different sessions in different browsers at the same time or in different tabs that would help tremendously."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm unfamiliar with the solution's pricing, but it must be worth the cost from a company perspective, as we have been using it for years and have no plans to move away from it."
"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."
"The pricing is fair."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"The pricing is reasonable compared to other tools."
"Licensing cost is on a yearly basis and there are no additional costs, the pricing is straightforward."
"Depending on the number of users, my company makes payments toward the solution's licensing costs."
"The price of Veracode Static Analysis is on the higher side."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
