What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Our company faced some issues with the tool, but the support team solved these issues quite quickly. The stability of the tool is high. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. We can implement the tool in different DevOps environments and projects, because of which we can create groups of applications and apply different policies to application groups, making it an enterprise-level tool. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support helped us solve different problems related to Veracode, including some of its use cases. Veracode's support helped our company get around a problem and how to set up the scan rules correctly when we had some unexpected errors during the scanning process. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have experience with Snyk. I used Snyk a year ago. Snyk doesn't support the version of the .NET applications we use in our company, so we decided to move to Veracode.
What about the implementation team?
The initial setup was easy since it is a SaaS solution and a well-documented product at the same time. In our company, we don't need to spin up a server to install something since we simply use the web interface and integrate the web interface with the DevOps environment.
On a scale of one to ten, where one is a hard setup and ten is an easy setup, I rate the initial setup phase an eight or nine.
The solution is deployed on the cloud. In our company, we use Microsoft Azure DevOps for our environment, but I don't know the environment in which Veracode gets used in our company. Veracode offers a web interface and API, so I don't know their cloud solutions.
The deployment is quite fast, but its overall quickness in terms of deployment depends on the number of applications you want to scan. If you want to scan one application, the deployment can be quickly done since we need to integrate Veracode into our DevOps environment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing of the product depends upon the number of codes or the number of applications.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend those planning to use the solution check the system requirements and choose a solution that supports programming languages and .NET Framework versions that record scans.
I am not sure if it is one of the best solutions because I am not an expert in other solutions available in the market. Somehow, I personally feel it is one of the best tools in the market.
I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

By continuously scanning our applications, we can mitigate risks that may arise in some workflows
Pros and Cons
- "Veracode's most valuable aspect is continuous integration. It helps us integrate with other applications so that it can monitor the security process."
- "Veracode is a little costly. It's cost-effective for a large enterprise, but it may be too expensive for small businesses."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my 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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
I think Veracode could integrate some advanced technologies to better address new threats as they arise.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have used Veracode for about a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Veracode has been a stable product. We've had some downtime, but it has performed well overall.

Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Includes valuable static and dynamic code scanning and detailed reports
Pros and Cons
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
We are developers who utilize Veracode for the static and dynamic scanning of our applications.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
The static scan and the detailed reports, which include issue information and permissions, are the most valuable features.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Veracode for over one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Veracode is stable.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
What other advice do I have?
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

It's easy to integrate with various cloud platforms and tools
Pros and Cons
- "I like Veracode's ease of integration with various cloud platforms and tools."
- "It would be nice if Veracode were bundled with some preferred vendors like Salesforce and offered at a discount."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
I like Veracode's ease of integration with various cloud platforms and tools.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
We been using Veracode for five or six years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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.
How was the initial setup?
We had some challenges initially, but I think that was due to a lack of training. After deployment, Veracode doesn't require much maintenance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Veracode a nine out of ten.

IT Manager at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees
Provides us with useful output and recommendations, helping us mitigate vulnerabilities
Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been using it for five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
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
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used to have a tool called CAST, which determined code quality. It wasn't a security tool or scanner.
What was our ROI?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

A straightforward platform for performing scans, mitigating issues, and improving security
Pros and Cons
- "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 very expensive for a small organization."
What is our primary use case?
I'm using it to troubleshoot and know the issues in my code and resolve them as soon as possible.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
It's very expensive for a small organization.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for a year and a half.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's a very stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the 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.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I haven't used a different solution. This is the first solution I've used.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What about the implementation team?
I implemented it.
What was our ROI?
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.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.

Interactive lab helps developers think like attackers and become more security-aware
Pros and Cons
- "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 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... To defend against those it's very important that the good guys use AI in ways that are good instead of bad."
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
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.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't used it for very long, but I have never experienced any problems with the stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I was previously working with Secure Code Warrior which is very different, but it's within the security field.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.

DevOps Engineer at Barclays Technology
Helps save developers' time and helps to improve our ability to fix flaws
Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
My organization has been using Veracode for four years, and I've been working with it for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Veracode is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.
How are customer service and support?
Veracode's technical support is good, and I'd rate them a nine on a scale from one to ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I'd give Veracode an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

The team can anticipate and correct issues earlier instead of waiting for someone to discover it when your application is attacked
Pros and Cons
- "Veracode creates a list of issues. You can go through them one by one and click through to a new window with all the information about the issue discovered."
- "We get some false positives with JavaScript languages like React, TypeScript, and Angular. The problem is rooted in the build process of JavaScript, not the code we are using. This is something we spend lots of time trying to resolve. When we point to a specific library and review that on the code, we can see it is a part of the build that isn't going into production. It's only a part of the build because JavaScript has a different build process."
What is our primary use case?
I am a software engineer, and one of my clients needed Veracode for security requirements. We needed to send the code through some security tools to see if there are breaches or malicious code that could attack the company. In this case, the client used Veracode to scan third-party libraries from our application. Veracode was running on a private cloud using Azure.
How has it helped my organization?
Veracode helped us prevent possible security breaches. The team can anticipate and correct issues earlier instead of waiting for someone to find the issue or discover it when your application is attacked.
The report is good because it has lots of security information. It isn't related to the code itself, like the line of the code or the connected library that contains an issue. It's sometimes difficult to figure out how to solve that.
Veracode saves time in the development process because we can anticipate security issues in an application. On the other hand, from a software development perspective, it could be a technical increase in depth. After we develop a feature in the application and run Veracode, we might find some security issues we need to fix.
For example, we spent a month building a feature on an application, but during this month, Veracode found a security issue in the third-party library we were using and reported it. If we had found the issue mid-development, we would need to rebuild the solution. Sometimes, it might increase the technical depth of the application because this type of security flaw was not found previously in our daily work.
What is most valuable?
Veracode creates a list of issues. You can go through them one by one and click through to a new window with all the information about the issue discovered.
What needs improvement?
We waste a lot of time figuring out which results are false positives, and it has affected our trust in the tool. After we've spent time training and setting up the tool correctly, we need to scan our code and remove all the false positives. Finally, it's good enough to identify our security issues.
We get some false positives with JavaScript languages like React, TypeScript, and Angular. The problem is rooted in the build process of JavaScript, not the code we are using. This is something we spend lots of time trying to resolve. When we point to a specific library and review that on the code, we can see it is a part of the build that isn't going into production. It's only a part of the build because JavaScript has a different build process.
This hasn't happened in .NET or C# because we use can all the libraries used when coding. In JavaScript, it's tough, and we spend tons of time trying to find the issue. However, it's not a problem because it's a pre-compiled language. This isn't unique to Veracode. Black Duck does the same thing.
Maybe Veracode could automatically detect the language type first and improve the way it scans JavaScript to reduce the false positive rate for this specific language. Also, in the reporting area, it could connect to the source code Veracode uses for the third-party library.
When Veracode finds security issues, it creates a report with the number and description of the issues. Sometimes, we are not able to connect that issue with the third-party library containing the code and applications the developers are building. The relationship between the flaw in the code and the third-party library could be more apparent because developers may not realize that the root cause is the library, not the code itself.
The compliance features are good, but it's pretty picky in terms of what it considers a security issue. I and the other developers struggle to understand what is flagged as a security vulnerability. If you can see a security issue in there, you can see all the documentation, but it's difficult to relate that to the code to determine why the issue happened. It could be clearer how to find the issue in the structure of the code.
For how long have I used the solution?
I'm not using Veracode anymore, but I used it for eight months in the last year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Veracode is stable overall. When we start the process on the Veracode side, the report generates in less than a minute, and we can see the issues. I don't have any problems with stability.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used a tool called Black Duck when I worked for another company two years ago. The client chose to use Veracode. It wasn't my option.
How was the initial setup?
We put Veracode in our pipeline, so the process runs automatically during development. It isn't something we can run manually. There are scripts that run when we start. There isn't any maintenance on the developer side. A designated team takes care of all this.
What was our ROI?
I don't think we've seen a return on this, but it's hard to calculate because you have to estimate the value of a breach that hasn't happened. This is the main benefit of using this tool. I don't know how to measure that.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Veracode eight out of 10. It can help you improve your security by identifying and preventing issues faster. At the same time, you should know that using Veracode will lengthen the development process because the team needs to check and correct issues. It could increase your development costs.
Using Veracode has challenged us to be more conscious of security. Sometimes, developers just want to build code. This tool allows you to check if the code or libraries are secure enough to add.

Integrates well, reliable, but expensive
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of Veracode Static Analysis are its ability to work with GitLab and GitHub so that you can do the reviews and force the code."
- "We have approximately 900 people using the solution. The solution is scalable, but there is a high cost attached to it."
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Veracode Static Analysis are its ability to work with GitLab and GitHub so that you can do the reviews and force the code.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Veracode Static Analysis for approximately five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of Veracode Static Analysis is good.
I rate the stability of Veracode Static Analysis a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have approximately 900 people using the solution.
The solution is scalable, but there is a high cost attached to it.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use SonarQube with Veracode Static Analysis.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Veracode Static Analysis was reasonably quick.
What about the implementation team?
We did the deployment of the solution in-house.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of Veracode Static Analysis could improve.
Sometimes the model that Veracode pushes forward for you to use isn't beneficial. I advise companies to use SonarQube and Veracode together because we use SonarQube for all the individual developers to scan and do their checks and tasks before they do a full peer review to make sure that they have it clean and it's understood. We then use Veracode Static Analysis for repository control because you need fewer licenses. Veracode Static Analysis is expensive and this is why we split the two solutions.
There are extra costs per developer and it can get expensive quickly. They charge approximately $25 a month for each developer that uses it.
I rate the price of Veracode Static Analysis an eight out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise people to use Veracode Static Analysis in the final levels of deployment. For example, when you used another tooling, such as SonarQube to do the initial tasks with the developers, then for peer reviews it is best to use Veracode Static Analysis for making sure that your repositories are controlled and managed properly.
I would always advise people to deploy at least two tools, one at a lower level to do the peer-to-peer that is cheaper, such as SonarQube because close to being free. Then use something, such as Veracode for the repository control and the management control of your data cubes.
No solution is a hundred percent perfect. I wouldn't rate any solution a 10 because they've all got faults. SonarQube might pick something up that Veracode Static Analysis doesn't and vice versa.
I rate Veracode Static Analysis a seven out of ten.
