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
6.9
Veracode improved code quality, security, and efficiency, leading to cost savings, faster releases, and enhanced operational benefits for organizations.
Sentiment score
7.3
Wiz enhances company value with time savings, security efficiency, cost reduction, asset management, and increased feature adoption despite regional costs.
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
7.4
Veracode provides effective, prompt support with knowledgeable staff, though response times and coordination occasionally need improvement.
Sentiment score
7.7
Wiz receives high marks for customer service, despite initial contact challenges and regional support gaps, thanks to effective communication tools.
Access to the engineering team is crucial for faster feedback on the product fix process.
They are very responsive and quick to help with queries within our scope.
They respond very quickly since security is something critical.
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
7.5
Veracode is scalable and effective for large user volumes, though some note potential scaling costs and manageable packaging challenges.
Sentiment score
8.1
Wiz excels in scalability and integration, efficiently managing large-scale operations, though costs and remediation workflows need improvement.
Cloud solutions are easier to scale than on-premise solutions.
It has a good capacity to scale effectively.
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.
We were able to find a balance in terms of pricing and performance.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Users find Veracode stable and reliable, with occasional well-communicated maintenance and improved stability, despite some glitches and false positives.
Sentiment score
8.1
Users express high confidence in Wiz's reliability, with minor issues quickly resolved and stability rated eight to ten.
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.
Wiz is a stable solution, and we haven't faced any breakdowns.
 

Room For Improvement

Veracode faces criticism for false positives, outdated UI, slow scans, high costs, and poor support for new technologies.
Users seek enhanced reporting, integration, security, and cost-effectiveness on Wiz, including better remediation, alerts, and scanning capabilities.
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.
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.
It focuses mainly on external risks, and additional visibility into internal network communication and cross-cloud or cloud-to-on-prem connectivity would be beneficial.
 

Setup Cost

Veracode's high pricing suits large enterprises but is challenging for smaller businesses, with negotiable terms for optimal value.
Enterprise users value Wiz for its comprehensive security, despite higher costs and some confusion over advanced features and pricing.
It's not the most expensive solution.
If there's a security gap, you'll never know the cost or effect.
Pricing-wise, I find it a bit expensive because it's based on the number of users requesting access to Veracode.
We are paying 250k per year.
In some cases, it has a very aggressive price, so very cheap.
What I do like is that the pricing seems pretty simple.
 

Valuable Features

Veracode integrates with CI/CD pipelines, offering fast scans, low false positives, and tools for efficient vulnerability management and compliance.
Wiz enhances cloud security with risk evaluation, visibility, and incident detection using user-friendly dashboards and automated analysis.
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.

Featured Reviews

David-Robertson - PeerSpot reviewer
Static scanning and software composition analysis are very helpful, but the usability needs improvement
Static scanning and software composition analysis are very helpful. My colleagues and I don't need to be experts on all of those ancillary things, so we can focus more on the business deliverables. They have a pretty good tool that allows me to run scans of my local integrated development environment. I can find a lot of those flaws a lot sooner than I would if I had to wait for these cloud-based scans. They've come out with some sort of automated fix feature. I haven't used it, but they gave us a demo of it, and that one looks promising. I don't know if it's ready for prime time yet.
Pietro Villivà - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for security assessment and maintaining correct security posture
The tool keeps improving on a weekly basis. Wiz enters into a lot of partnerships with other technologies. I don't have any idea about the improvements needed in the tool at the moment. For me, Wiz is a very complete product, but it is not the perfect one. Other technologies are better for our customers' specific use cases. A possible way to grow the tool is by introducing new functionality or features. In the future, the tool can introduce an on-prem infrastructure or platform. Not having an on-prem version can be an obstacle for customers who have a large workload in an on-prem environment. The onboarding can be done in five minutes or five to ten minutes. Then, there is the configuration, and it depends on the type of the use case of the customer. There is a customer that has simple use cases for whom the onboarding can be done in four to eight hours a day. If there are some customers with a lot of use cases and a lot of different cloud providers, more time is needed. In general, we don't need more than five days to deploy the tool, even in the case of a very complex architecture and hybrid cloud environment. To deploy the tool, we need to have access to the account of the customer, and Wiz is a stuff that we need to make with the customer. We do the onboarding together. The customer creates the correct authorization in the cloud platform and gives us the key to connect to the platform, and then the platform connector starts and begins to collect information.
