Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 2, 2024

Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
6.6
Veracode enhances security, reduces costs, and boosts efficiency, with varied ROI perceptions, but some struggle to quantify it financially.
Sentiment score
5.5
Wiz improved asset management, vulnerability detection, and security while consolidating tools for cost savings, despite regional cost challenges.
The scanners of Veracode bring status of the weaknesses in the current infrastructure. It scans and provides reports regarding the servers, the network, and the applications running on those servers.
Regarding price, the evaluation should focus on how efficiently they will recover their investment, considering the time saved through the use of Veracode Fix, for example, and the ability to fix code at dev time compared to the problems faced when fixing after the product is already deployed.
We have seen ROI from Wiz and we continued to see value in Wiz.
We estimate a cost reduction of around 35% to 50%, or even more, due to consolidating our security management into one platform.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.2
Veracode's customer service is praised for expertise and responsiveness, though variability and time zones can affect efficiency.
Sentiment score
7.9
Wiz's customer support excels in communication and responsiveness, though improvements in public documentation access are needed.
Access to the engineering team is crucial for faster feedback on the product fix process.
I have communicated with the technical support of Veracode a couple of times, and this was a really great experience because these professionals know their material.
They share detailed information via email, including screenshots or further clarification about the issue.
We have a dedicated channel with Wiz and are always in communication with them.
The solution's technical support was excellent.
Century Data has an engineering team who support the initial calls with a local Knowledge base.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Veracode efficiently scales, supports large applications and users, integrates seamlessly, providing fast results with minimal challenges or performance issues.
Sentiment score
7.4
Wiz is highly scalable, efficiently adapting to cloud demands, though some users suggest improvements in remediation workflows.
Cloud solutions are easier to scale than on-premise solutions.
It has a good capacity to scale effectively.
Implementing these features into our normal CI/CD was good, so I can say that scalability is really good.
We have deployed Wiz in three organizations on AWS, each with approximately 70 to 80 accounts, totaling more than 120 accounts.
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
Our environment quadrupled in size. We didn’t have to make any adjustments or configuration changes; it just accommodated the growth.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Veracode is highly stable with minimal downtime, effective workload handling, and no significant operational issues reported by users.
Sentiment score
7.5
Wiz demonstrates high reliability with minimal downtime, prompt issue resolution, and maintains consistent performance and user satisfaction.
If the Veracode server is down, we experience many issues during the scan.
It's not that easy to onboard, but once they have been onboarded on the platform, and the pipeline configured alongside the product configured, it works effectively.
Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight to nine out of ten.
The solution is very stable.
We haven't encountered any outages or issues with reports not running, finishing, or data being incomplete or inaccurate.
 

Room For Improvement

Veracode needs improvements in false positives, interface, speed, reporting, tool integration, language support, cost, APIs, and documentation.
Wiz needs better logging, reporting, risk assessment, integration, scalability, cost efficiency, and enhanced remediation workflows for large enterprises.
If it could be integrated directly with code repositories such as Bitbucket or GitHub, without the need to create a pipeline to upload and decode code, it would simplify the code scan process significantly.
We had issues with scanning large applications. Scanning took a lot of time, so we kept it outside the DevOps pipeline to avoid delaying deployments.
A nice addition would be if it could be extended for scenarios with custom cleansers.
We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately.
One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks.
We need an agent that can be installed, or that can overview all the containers and Kubernetes so that it can detect malicious activities that are happening in them.
 

Setup Cost

Veracode's pricing is high, valued for features, but complex and costly for small organizations, justified for large enterprises.
Wiz offers fair pricing with advanced features, but concerns exist over costs and transparency compared to other market options.
It's not the most expensive solution.
Overall, Veracode's pricing is lower and more scalable than many alternatives in the market.
If there's a security gap, you'll never know the cost or effect.
We are paying 250k per year.
In some cases, it has a very aggressive price, so very cheap.
I don’t think there’s anyone else out there offering the same level, scale, or efficiency.
 

Valuable Features

Veracode offers static code analysis, integrates with development tools, provides remediation guidance, and enhances security while ensuring scalability and compliance.
Wiz enhances security by prioritizing vulnerabilities, offering agentless insight, and simplifying threat management through automation and customizable features.
It offers confidence by preventing exposure to vulnerabilities and helps ensure that we are not deploying vulnerable code into production.
The best features in Veracode include static analysis and the early detection of vulnerable libraries; it integrates with tools such as Jenkins.
It fixes issues directly in the IDE while you're doing it.
The feature leads to minimal false positives and a low volume of alerts, which is highly valuable for our operations.
It's highly customizable, allowing us to manage many custom features effectively.
Regarding compliance and governance, Wiz streamlines our vulnerability management to meet specific needs effectively.

Kv Rao - PeerSpot reviewer
Integrates pipelines smoothly and fortifies code against vulnerabilities
I use Veracode in multiple places including static code analysis, penetration testing, and dynamic code analysis. It is part of our pipeline and integrates well with Bitbucket and Git pipelines The ease of integration with Bitbucket pipelines and Git pipelines is vital for us. Veracode allows us…
MatthewSnyder - PeerSpot reviewer
Accelerates decision making and reduces alert fatigue with smart event consolidation
I believe they are on the right path. However, Wiz has a unique way of identifying issues. As part of its growth and maturity, I'm noticing that it is taking an approach where it not only detects problems but also provides solutions to fix them. This expansion into a more comprehensive ecosystem allows it to become a 360-degree product. Instead of just continuously pointing out findings and detections, it starts to integrate with existing solutions, reducing the cycle of repeated issues. We can learn from these mistakes, and ideally, they will only occur once, allowing us to address them effectively. I appreciate the continued growth in this partnership, as it aims to reduce the number of findings over time by tackling the root of the problem. One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks. Ideally, the process would become more automated, allowing us to quickly respond with steps such as: we found an issue, reached out, and fixed it immediately. In cybersecurity, if it takes several hours to address a concern and a human attacker is present, that delay can lead to severe consequences. We need more immediate measures in our response strategies.
