We are using it for two purposes. The first is to analyze the final binaries in our normal development cycle and the second is for auditing old software.
It's a SaaS solution.
We are using it for two purposes. The first is to analyze the final binaries in our normal development cycle and the second is for auditing old software.
It's a SaaS solution.
Veracode is able to analyze the final software products. We compile the applications and it's an advantage for us because there are a lot of areas where we don't have the source code. In some companies, only internal development is taking place and they have the source code and everything else for the software. With those companies, there are other tools that we can use. But 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. We are working in the financial sector for big bank banks and insurance companies. A lot of times, these types of companies don't have the source code for the applications, only the final applications. This is the biggest advantage of Veracode, that it's able to analyze these types of applications.
We use the scanning process to help our security professionals and developers fix flaws in the code and that helps speed up the development cycle. It helps to "shift-left" all of the security control to the earliest phase of the development cycle. It has sped up the development cycle significantly. An unexpected vulnerability can stop the development pipeline, at least for a little while, and we are able to avoid that.
It has also helped to increase our fix rate by almost 100 percent. In the past, if it turned out that we had vulnerabilities, we had no time to correct them. We went into production with them. Now, we are able to fix everything, 100 percent, in the development cycle.
In terms of best practices, we have the results from Veracode and then we have a Knowledge Base of the types of vulnerabilities and how they should be corrected by our developers.
Another benefit is that it has helped us with certification and audits. We have a lot of automated reports based on the scans and we can show them to the auditors. That has saved us a lot of money and work.
And Veracode SCA has helped to reduce the risk of a security breach because it finds vulnerabilities as early as possible. It has increased our security and development teams’ productivity because, with the automated scanning, we are able to scan much more than previously. It saves us at least one week per development cycle, if not more.
The recommendations from Veracode have improved our efforts in fixing potential vulnerabilities, and not just finding them. That's important for us because fixing is a very expensive process. If you can save time on that, it is a big help. And SCA’s automated, peer, and expert advice have definitely reduced remediation times, saving us at least a week per development cycle.
Overall, SCA has significantly lowered the risk of vulnerabilities. If we didn't identify them before production, and it turned out that there were vulnerabilities, there would be a big risk. We would have to go into production with them or stop the development pipeline. So it lowers the security risk significantly by doing early scanning. It has reduced our risk by at least 60 percent. It definitely helps create secure software. That is 100 percent important because we are working for financial companies.
It's good that it's cloud-based because we don't have to operate a new IT system for security scanning.
It provides a centralized view across all testing types, including SaaS, DAST, SCA, and manual penetration testing. We now have a central place with overall visibility.
In addition, the mitigation recommendations provided by the scanning engine are good. They are not all perfect, but they are good and usable.
There is room for improvement in the speed of the system. Sometimes, the servers are very busy and slow. Also, because we are located in Europe, it would be a big help if they had a European or national service, because of the regulations, not only because of the speed.
Also, the integration with SonarQube is very weak, so we had to implement a custom solution to extend it.
We have been using Veracode Software Composition Analysis for more than two years.
The stability is good. We haven't had any problems.
The scalability issue is a good question because it's not too fast, but it's scalable because it's cloud-based.
We use it for 10 critical applications.
Their technical support staff is skilled. We have been able to solve all of our problems with them. I wouldn't rate them a 10 because sometimes it's time-consuming to get the right guy to answer our questions. But we always get answers to our questions.
We used SonarQube because the developers liked it. We also used Checkmarx. We switched to Veracode SCA because of the binary scanning ability. Neither Checkmarx nor SonarQube is able to do that.
The initial setup was very easy. Because it's a cloud-based service, we were able to do it without the help of Veracode. We just read the recommendations and followed them. We had three guys involved, two developers and one security guy.
It took three months to implement. Our implementation strategy was to do a pilot and then everybody in the organization copied the reference implementation.
Our return on investment is due to saving a lot of development hours.
It's too expensive for the European market. That is why, in a big bank with 400 applications, we are able to use it for only 10 of them. But the other solutions are also expensive, so it wasn't a differentiator.
The static cost model is not that important. Veracode works on a subscription model, so we have to pay for it every year.
We chose Veracode's Software Composition Analysis after we evaluated more than 10 products. Among those we evaluated were Checkmarx, Fortify, and SonarQube. The primary differentiator was the binary scanning use case.
Use Veracode for the special use case of binary scanning, because it is the best in this special use case.
Security Labs is very good as well. We are not using it day-to-day, but it's a good feature.
We have data deployments for B2B and B2C with the product. Before we used a deployment center like Jenkins. We use it for backend content.
We've only used the solution for a year; it hasn't been that long.
The deployment mode is very useful.
We like that it can prevent vulnerable code from going into production.
We use the low-level elements and do greenlight deployment through Veracode.
It helps us manage our licensing and security risks. However, we are in the implementation process right now. So far, it's okay and working fine.
It's good that we can do a full code scan, front to back, or vice versa.
We mostly use the policy scan and vulnerability scan mostly.
The security is okay.
The reporting can be difficult. It's not very easy.
It's taking too much time to do a quality scan. It hasn't saved us much time. Deployment was three or four months ago. We did a policy scan using a greenlight deployment. When we do the deployment in Jenkins, we can do it faster. In Veracode, it can take four hours or even eight hours.
We don't like how long it takes to do a deployment. It should deploy more quickly.
I've used the solution for a year.
While there is no lagging or crashing, it takes too much time to deploy.
We haven't had any issues with scalability. That said, currently we are not scaling. Previously it was fine. Currently, we're not scaling.
Currently, we do not use support. We don't communicate with them.
We have used SAP and Jenkins in the past.
The deployment takes too long.
I was not directly involved in the deployment of Veracode. I generally use Jenkins only.
Two people are typically involved in the deployment.
Every week, on Friday, we put the servers down, and every Monday, we put them back up, to save on costs.
The deployment is automated using Jenkins. We just need some parameters to deploy the code to the environment.
The pricing is worth it. However, users need to go through the documentation first to get a handle on the implementation. Users might need the help of a support platform.
We did not evaluate other options before choosing this solution.
I'm not sure how much visibility we are getting using the solution.
The false positive rate we haven't really looked into. We need to learn more about it.
We are just end users, not partners.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
It's a good idea to look at the documentation. Be very cautious when implementing servers.
We used it for static and dynamic testing to check if there were any vulnerabilities in the code. If there were any vulnerabilities, we would check the report downloaded from the Veracode portal and try to fix the code before deploying it.
Veracode helped me remove errors, and it didn't take a long time to fix any issue because I had an answer regarding where the code needed to be fixed. That feature helped us test our cases and get them deployed. It helped me fix vulnerabilities and any other errors before deployment to the applications.
The SAST and DAST scans—we used it both before code was deployed and after it was deployed—helped us run through the issues and keep track of their status. It was deployed in the pipelines, through Jenkins, and checked the logs in Kubernetes.
The solution also saved us time. I really liked the automatic scanning because there was no way to know where an issue was. Human tendency is to make mistakes, but Veracode helped us find the exact spot where an error was and change it. The reporting helped us do that in a short amount of time.
For our team, it had a very good impact. My manager used to suggest that before taking code to the next level, it was a really good idea to scan it.
I liked that I could easily find out where my errors were. Instead of going through the whole code and the scripts, it showed me where the errors were and gave me an idea of how to fix them.
The reporting was detailed, but there were some things that were missing. It showed us on which line an error was found, but it could have been more detailed.
Also, with upgrades, we had quite a difficult time tracking the reports, so there was some maintenance around that.
I used Veracode for 13 months.
I had a situation that was due to a slow network, and I couldn't get results within a specific time. Because of that, there was a lag in production; we couldn't deploy the code on time. There was a crash, and because of that, we couldn't meet our production deadline.
The downtime happened two or three times. I thought it was due to a network issue when it happened once, but then I came to understand that it was a maintenance issue.
Veracode is really not difficult or complex to understand. The whole concept is simple. It takes some time to get used to the tool, but it is a very simple tool to work with.
It was quite fast. Scanning my code took 25 to 30 minutes, which was quite good.
Veracode helps scan applications for security purposes to ensure they are safe before deployment. The solution is continuously monitoring the security of our infrastructure and workflows. About five people use the solution across our organization.
Our security posture has improved since we implemented Veracode because our developers have a better understanding of the security risks that may arise due to some actions we take on various projects and tasks. We're more aware of how vulnerabilities can be introduced into our daily work.
Veracode has reduced the amount we spend to remedy security risks by about 60 percent. Security testing is much easier than before. The time needed to address vulnerabilities can affect the workflows and lead to late delivery of our services across customers. It has helped us to mitigate risks by effectively monitoring workflows. The conditional scanning procedures we previously used have been replaced by modern systematic algorithms.
Veracode saves time and costs because it's flexible in terms of an organization's data requirements. It can provide data intelligence from various work platforms and guidance on the best practices for security mitigation so we can safeguard our data in various work processes.
The solution enables us to establish a strategic policy management infrastructure to monitor the performance of each application periodically and report on the security performance. The dynamic analysis gives us feedback from time to time and performance metrics inside the program interface.
This platform is one of the most efficient and effective tools for upgrading applications to meet an organization's performance standards and policies. It helps us improve our development because sometimes the coding procedure might not reflect the latest threats.
Veracode's most valuable aspect is continuous integration. It helps us integrate with other applications so that it can monitor the security process. By continuously scanning our applications, we can mitigate risks that may arise in some workflows. It streamlines compliance, policy management, and reporting on various data analytics. We use it daily to gain insight into our work processes.
The solution is built into our SecOps program. It offers modern policy management, essential support, and analytics features. It's efficient with fast and powerful risk-mitigation tools.
I think Veracode could integrate some advanced technologies to better address new threats as they arise.
We have used Veracode for about a year.
Veracode has been a stable product. We've had some downtime, but it has performed well overall.
I rate Veracode support a nine out of ten. Veracode's support team has always been helpful. When we contact them by phone or online chat, they respond quickly with a solution within the time frame established in our support contract.
Positive
Deploying Veracode was straightforward, and we had help from the vendor's support team. Our deployment team has six members, and the whole process took about three weeks.
After deployment, the product requires some maintenance. We sometimes face some networking challenges that require repairs, and we need to periodically update some tools.
Veracode is a good investment, and I can recommend it to anyone who is looking for the best security tester. I estimate that we saw a 60 percent ROI this year, and it continues.
Veracode is a little costly. It's cost-effective for a large enterprise, but it may be too expensive for small businesses.
I rate Veracode an eight out of ten. I would recommend it to others who need to do testing for application performance or security and risk management.
We are developers who utilize Veracode for the static and dynamic scanning of our applications.
Veracode provides both us and our customers with confidence that our applications do not have any issues by helping to prevent any vulnerable code from being deployed in production.
Veracode has helped us improve the way we conduct static and dynamic code testing in our organization. Based on the reports we receive, we can quickly identify what needs to be fixed immediately after the scan. For minor issues, we are given time to address them after moving into production, but for major issues, the application is unable to enter the production phase.
We utilize Veracode for static and dynamic code scanning in our software configuration and lifecycle management. It is integrated as part of our pipeline, allowing the code to be automatically scanned in the background. This enables us to review the reports promptly.
The information provided by Veracode enables us to easily rectify vulnerabilities in the workflow.
Veracode can help our developers save time, depending on the issue and the age of the application.
Veracode saves time by automating the basic tasks that were previously performed manually.
Veracode has had a positive impact on our security stance and has empowered our customers to confidently migrate their applications to the cloud.
The static scan and the detailed reports, which include issue information and permissions, are the most valuable features.
Veracode does not support scans for .NET Blazor server applications. We encounter errors whenever attempting a scan. I would appreciate it if Veracode could incorporate support for these applications.
I would like Veracode to offer code support for the latest releases of .NET whenever they are released by Microsoft.
I have been using Veracode for over one year.
Veracode is stable.
The technical support is helpful, but they operate on their own schedule, so in certain instances, we have to endure a considerable wait for a resolution.
Neutral
I give Veracode an eight out of ten.
Our customer provides us with a Veracode profile account for uploading and testing code. We do not manage the solution or have any insight into how it is deployed.
I highly recommend Veracode for assisting in identifying vulnerabilities in code.
I have learned that Veracode can confidently scan and detect vulnerabilities in code. However, for older or unsupported applications, we need to seek an alternative solution.
We use Veracode to scan our code before release. The scan ensures our projects will have no issues. We only use Veracode for customer-facing and revenue-generating web applications.
Application security is paramount. It's essential to check any extended web applications we are using. Veracode enables us to check integrated segments that are based on other websites. We can also perform a light scan on some of the smaller customer-facing web applications.
Veracode provides visibility into application status, but we do not use it during every development phase. We only use Veracode before the code goes into production. It improves our DevSecOps. We use an agile process, so we have less time to fix issues when we discover vulnerabilities. Veracode helps us fix many critical issues but only if it is compatible with all the technologies.
It helps if the products you use are from preferred vendors like Salesforce. If your tools are incompatible, you might get some false positives. You can still use products that aren't from preferred vendors, but if you use tools like Salesforce, etc., it will automatically recognize and ignore these issues. It cuts down on the time we spend investigating.
The overall false positive rate is good. It is about 70-80 percent accurate. In some stages, we have to let issues go and defer the fix until another time. We might wait to release a patch later.
Veracode adds value when we run it in an integrated environment where all the core systems are similar to our production environment. It adds value to the developers in the final stages of testing or the QA environment. We can use it for functional or system testing. That is where it adds value for the developers by enabling them to fix many of the issues. Nothing flows into the queue box. We can say it has been effective if it's up to 70 percent, but if we consider the environmental constraints, it's around 30 to 40 percent.
It adds daily value by improving the security posture of our customer-facing web applications. A developer could make a mistake not caught in the QA process.
I like Veracode's ease of integration with various cloud platforms and tools.
I'm also a cybersecurity expert. In addition to vulnerabilities, I am looking at this from a holistic cybersecurity perspective. Bringing Veracode in line with the latest vulnerabilities would add value. We see APT issues often, and some processes could be left vulnerable if our tool cannot cope with them. It would improve Veracode to bring it up to date with current threats that the cybersecurity industry highlights.
I would also like Veracode to offer training and certifications that users can do on their own time. It would encourage people to build skills that they could reuse across the board. Many other software publishers offer this. It helps build a user base and generate interest. Training is an excellent way to market your product. It would also be helpful to build a user community online to create a knowledge base of expert users who can answer questions and advise Veracode on ways to improve the product.
We been using Veracode for five or six years.
SonarQube is another solution we've used. SonarQube has some limitations, and we feel like it isn't keeping pace with the technology landscape. We had to reconsider our tool, which led us to adopt Veracode.
We had some challenges initially, but I think that was due to a lack of training. After deployment, Veracode doesn't require much maintenance.
Veracode's price is reasonable because of the value it offers. If you don't catch bad code before it goes into production, you have to spend money to rework it, and a security failure in your product can cost your company. We think it's worth what we pay.
It would be nice if Veracode were bundled with some preferred vendors like Salesforce and offered at a discount.
I rate Veracode a nine out of ten.
We use Veracode for static web application scanning, and we've been using Vericode for our ethical hackers as well.
We have a dev, UAT, and staging environment. Veracode is included as a part of our DevSecOps in the staging environment. That means that when code is promoted to our staging environment, it automatically initiates a Veracode scan on our application.
The output and the recommendations given by Veracode are very useful. We are able to mitigate some of the vulnerabilities that the tool shows us. We are maintaining very clean applications with the help of the scanning we do with Veracode.
If any critical or high-risk vulnerabilities are detected in our code, we don't move it to production until we get a clean report. While we allow moderate and low-risk findings, we stop if it's critical or high. We do a scan on our staging whenever new code is promoted. Effectively, Veracode helps us to prevent moving the code to production if we detect any abnormalities.
Our application is an external-facing application and that means we have to proceed with the utmost caution when we promote code. Veracode has certainly been very helpful in giving us more accurate results and ensuring that our application does not have any vulnerabilities.
Veracode keeps developers aware of the possibility that issues will be identified. Once a vulnerability is detected, developers are careful to abide by the recommendations given by Veracode the next they are involved in new development. That's a positive regarding the solution. It helps improve the development process. We also share findings with the other development teams, so that they don't make the same mistake. We document the best practices so that the same flaws are not detected again. To that extent, our developers' time is optimally utilized.
Ours is a Java-based application and Veracode can detect vulnerabilities in both Angular, which is used for the UI, and also in the backend code, which includes APIs and microservices. That's one good aspect and something where other applications have a lower rating. Veracode gives us wholesome insights into the vulnerabilities in the application, both in the UI and in the backend.
Also, the false positive rate is good. I don't have any qualms about using Veracode.
The scanning on the UI portion of our applications is straightforward, but folks were having challenges with scans that involved microservices. They had to rope in an expert to have it sorted. In addition, one of my developers told me that they looked at the documentation that was given but still required the involvement of an expert to get the issue fixed. I would like the documentation to be a little more user-friendly.
Also, the turnaround times could be improved. From what I've heard, the scanning takes a bit of time to complete. If it could be completed a little more quickly, that would help.
We've been using it for five years.
There have been a couple of instances when the scan stopped or aborted and had to be manually triggered to complete. Other than that, there haven't been any challenges with Veracode
We used to have a tool called CAST, which determined code quality. It wasn't a security tool or scanner.
As an application manager, I certainly find Veracode very useful. It definitely improves the robustness of the application. It detects every single small or large flaw and helps us with the appropriate recommendations. I would go with Veracode unless there is a product that is equally capable but with a lower price.
Right now we have it on-prem but we are moving toward the cloud in the next six months or so. We've started that journey. I don't think there have been any difficulties in maintaining the pipeline. We've never had any challenges since we introduced Veracode as part of our DevSecOps pipeline.
For my application, it has definitely been a great tool. It ensures that your application is devoid of vulnerabilities. Go for it.
I'm using it to troubleshoot and know the issues in my code and resolve them as soon as possible.
Veracode helps me to understand and resolve vulnerabilities in my code. It's very good to have, and what's most interesting is that the Veracode Greenlight gives me real-time output and resolution. I can also schedule calls with the security experts for any resolution. It's good for understanding and resolving issues that my code might have.
Veracode definitely helps in creating a secure environment for both the company as well as the clients. Our clients require their data to be secure. They also require a stable solution. Veracode is helping me in developing a good product. It provides full information and also helps in a quick resolution.
Veracode is secure, and it has coding standards. It helps me in penetration testing and application security consultation. It exposes common vulnerabilities. The static scan is very good, and it gives me valuable information and a very good recommendation of how I can fix it.
We can integrate Veracode for both static and dynamic analysis to reduce the risks in the application and prevent vulnerabilities. A significant benefit is that you have a risk-free code. It minimizes the risks.
It gives visibility into the application status at every phase of development. There is Veracode Static Analysis, Dynamic Analysis, Software Composition Analysis, and Manual Penetration Test throughout SDLC.
Veracode has been very important and helpful in creating stable products because we are able to identify issues in the code and then create powerful and stable products for clients.
Veracode provides all details regarding the issues and the way to resolve them. It makes it easy for me as a developer to understand the issue in a better way. It improves a developer's confidence in the solution when fixing vulnerabilities.
Veracode has saved a lot of our time. It has saved us about 45% time.
Veracode has enhanced security. We are able to identify what is missing and what are the issues in the code. When we know that the code has an issue, we are able to make sure that we correct it. Veracode has helped us a lot in providing a stable, secure solution to our clients.
Veracode has helped us to develop faster because it's so straightforward. It has clear documentation that you can use to create a very good and stable environment for developers to collaborate and create a unique solution.
IDE Scan is the most important feature, and then you have SCA and Platform Scan.
I like the fact that it can be used at any stage of application development. I use scanning with a particular piece of code. There is an extension that helps me to create my code easily in Visual Studio and then find flaws before deploying the code. It's definitely benefiting me and the organization. It's so quick and easy to create a code and then deploy it live.
It's easy to create reports. It works very well. It's straightforward, and it does not require a lot of time. It's a straightforward platform that you can use for performing scans or mitigating issues. It has a very good user interface. FAQs are also helpful in case you are not familiar with it. It's good and straightforward when you integrate it with machine learning platforms.
It's very expensive for a small organization.
I have been using it for a year and a half.
It's a very stable solution.
It's scalable enough. Veracode is being used in the engineering department. It's being only used in one department by two people. It's a developer tool for developing solutions faster, troubleshooting, and debugging.
Their support is good because there is an option to request a consultation. If you face any issue or any difficulty with the scans or mitigation, they can help you out. The support service for me is very costly, but you also have a well-organized FAQ and a very big community for asking questions and getting a solution. I'd rate their support a 10 out of 10.
Positive
I haven't used a different solution. This is the first solution I've used.
I was involved in its deployment. It took me one week to implement Veracode. The process was straightforward. If you are lost or have any issues, you can read the documentation.
I implemented it.
It's not so huge to provide a lot of return on investment, but it's helping us to have a stable solution. It's a secure platform, but in terms of the return on investment, it hasn't made a very good impact yet. We have only seen 10% to 15% ROI.
It has reduced the cost of DevSecOps for the organization because we can use one platform to develop, troubleshoot, and debug faster, so it has helped us a lot.
It's very expensive, especially when you are a very small organization. If you're using Veracode at an individual level, for example, you're a developer or you run agents, the pricing might not affect you, but if you're using it at a company level to troubleshoot security issues, the pricing is not quite favorable. It may affect ROI.
Veracode is good. It's for organizations that want to give their customers both security and privacy. It's good in case you want to dive deep into the code and get the flaws that could be dangerous to both the organization and the customers using an application. If you are looking to create a good application that is also secure, I'd recommend Veracode.
Overall, I'd rate Veracode a 9 out of 10.
Because Veracode is more interactive than Secure Code Warrior, the big benefit for our organization will be that the developers will not just get the blue team excited, but they will learn to think like the red team, like an attacker. The interactive labs will help developers see that some of the red team attack methods aren't that hard to do, and that will bring them more security awareness.
Because developers will see exactly how you do a certain type of red team attack or exploit, they will understand that it's important that they don't think, "Oh, this could never happen." And when they realize that some of the attack methods are not so hard to implement, they will secure the code base and fix the vulnerabilities that already exist.
For example, when I tried SQL injection labs, I learned new ways to make those, and that is extremely valuable for me because. If I'm working with a code base, I can know exactly how to mitigate SQL injection, because not all systems are using Hibernate. I've been on code reviews where I could actually point out things related to injection, which is something I wouldn't have been able to do without Veracode.
Another big benefit for our organization is that it is more interactive and fun, in a way, than Secure Code Warrior. Developers will engage and spend more time in Veracode.
It has had a good effect on my security posture because the labs are very informative with current information, showing you some of the things that could be done by attackers if your code is done incorrectly. I have retained more useful information in a fast manner.
And if we talk about scanning, we will see advantages there as well. For example, I'm working on a Java project and because Java is a high-level language, it's hard to make code errors. But if I worked with C or C++, the scanner tool would be very good. If you take the OWASP dependency checker, for example, it goes through all the third-party dependencies which are often where the trouble is in a Java project. However, I have heard that you can upload the necessary files and it will go through the third-party components as well and, in that case, it's very beneficial for the organization to have such a tool.
It can be very hard to make a good lab environment with a console with log windows and code bases. What I like about Veracode is that they managed to do that. It has a very responsive graphical user interface and has worked very well. I was very pleased with that.
I like the web interface of the interactive labs and the information there. It's very well done by those who developed it, and it works very well. It's very fun and you get to learn new things and think like an attacker. It's not like on TryHackMe, but the information I got from doing the labs here was information that I didn't have before. The quality of the information was really good.
When I started to use Veracode, there were a lot of policy documents and I actually have a habit of always reading those. I haven't made a list of all the regulations and policies and how well it complies with all the security regulations, but from what I could see, it is aligned with security regulations and certifications. And in the lab environment, they have divided things into different topics like OWASP top-10. That is very actual and follows the security guidelines that are commonly accepted by organizations today.
I would like to see more AI features. It's a current subject because with ChatGPT and other solutions being developed all the time, IT attacks will increase. I actually talked to the CEO of an IT security company in the United States because he ranked the top-10 IT security risks this year, and one of the biggest risks was new vulnerabilities or attacks would occur because of ChatGPT and similar services. To defend against those it's very important that the good guys use AI in ways that are good instead of bad.
I have been using Veracode for about two weeks. I recently got access to Veracode to test it. I've been spending a lot of time on it, working with it in the lab environment. I have also tried out the scanning tools for code bases, but I mostly have experience working with it in the lab environment.
I haven't used it for very long, but I have never experienced any problems with the stability.
We are an enterprise-size company and I know that our security employees are using Veracode and some of the developers as well, but I don't know to what extent developers are using it. It's pretty widely used across our organization.
I give their technical support a very high grade. I was in contact with them with an inquiry I had, and there was a very fast response time. They took my request and prioritized it. They were nice as well, and that's how you want support to be, although not every support team is like that.
Positive
I was previously working with Secure Code Warrior which is very different, but it's within the security field.
I've been using the security platform TryHackMe a lot, which also has a web console, but I wouldn't pay for the kind of console window that TryHackMe had. It has a lot of good aspects, so no disrespect to them; I learned a lot from it. But I understand how hard it is to create that and Veracode has managed to do so in a responsive way that works well. It's very impressive.
Scanning tools are a big safeguard for getting vulnerable code out of production. It's almost mandatory today to scan applications because there are so many attacks happening in the world right now, no matter which solution you use.
I was very pleased when I tried Veracode because I hadn't heard about it before, but it was much better than I thought.
We use Veracode for security scanning purposes, and our security services team has developed the logic. We create the pipeline and run the Veracode scan for particular microservices. My role is to run the Veracode pipeline and to see all the detailed reports. Once the scan is complete, I download the Veracode report and share it with developers.
We have multiple environments, and all entities use the solution. We have approximately 1000 users.
The best feature is definitely the detailed reports. It provides code-related queries in the order of high, medium, and low depending on what we need to do. Veracode is user-friendly as well.
It provides all the details to prevent vulnerable code from going into production. The Veracode scanning report shows where we need to create security and how to encrypt usernames, passwords, or other details. It's very helpful from an application security perspective.
With this solution, we have visibility into application status at every phase of development including static analysis, dynamic analysis, software composition analysis, and manual penetration test throughout our SDLC. It is helpful for our DevSecOps processes because we get all the details before going into production. We can then talk with the design team and developers to fix any issues before going live.
Veracode helped to improve our ability to fix flaws.
It also saved our developers' time by 50% to 60%. Before going live, we always integrate Veracode with our application's bill pipeline. Instead of resolving issues once it is live, we can fix them beforehand.
Searching for applications in Veracode is a little bit difficult. We have to minimize the length of an application's name to 47 characters. It would be good if this limit could be increased so that an application's name can be properly reflected in Veracode.
My organization has been using Veracode for four years, and I've been working with it for two years.
Veracode is a stable solution.
It is a scalable solution.
Veracode's technical support is good, and I'd rate them a nine on a scale from one to ten.
Positive
Overall, I'd give Veracode an eight out of ten.
