Veracode Reviews

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 codes for vulnerabilities and risks.

Veracodes' ability to prevent vulnerable code from entering production works very well and it can detect the type of script used.

The software bill of materials helps us understand the industry that we are in and ensures we have a stable solution.

We can easily create a report using a software bill of materials because it has good templates that we can use.

Veracode has improved our organization by allowing us to fix the flows quickly for our clients by making data coding easy.

Veracode provides visibility into all phases of development.

The visibility into our development provides confidence to our DevSecOps that they will be able to deploy on time with no errors.

The false positive rate is good but we require a lot of skills to utilize it properly.

The false positive helps our DevOps troubleshoot every stage of development and increase their efficiency which boosts their confidence.

Veracode has helped our developers save around 20 percent of their time.

It has increased our organization's ability to fix flaws. We can scan code in a video which reduces costs and risk.

Veracode has increased security in our overall security posture because it detects flaws during scans.

We have saved around $500 a month in DevOps with Veracode.

Code scanning is the most valuable feature. 

The templates allow us to create wonderful reports.

The software bill of materials feature helps our supply chain security.

The backend support team of Veracode requires improvement as they are difficult to reach when we encounter issues.

The UI is not user-friendly and can be improved.

The speed of our internet connection affects the scanning process, which may take a considerable amount of time to finish. As a result, this can lead to challenges in planning and reporting, causing confusion.

I have been using the solution for three years.

It is stable.

Veracode is scalable.

The support is slow to respond.

Neutral

The initial setup was straightforward. I deployed the solution myself within three days.

The implementation was completed in-house.

We have seen a 32 percent return on investment with Veracode.

The licensing cost for Veracode is fair.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

Veracode is user-friendly depending on how we use it. 

We have seven people using the solution.

Veracode does not require any maintenance on our end.

Veracode is a secure, reliable, and sustainable tool that all organizations should use for scanning code.

I use Veracode to ensure the projects I deliver don't have vulnerabilities. 

Veracode provides insight into vulnerabilities at every stage, so your team can progress through the development cycle more efficiently. It improves developer confidence by showing us our capabilities and the potential of our code. 

Our developers improve and become more efficient using Veracode. Once we identify issues in our code, it's much easier to avoid the same mistakes in future projects. It teaches them how to overcome those vulnerabilities and errors while reducing costs.

Veracode saves a lot of time compared to traditional methods for identifying vulnerabilities. We save around $500 a month using Veracode because we don't need to hire experts. 

Veracode has improved our overall security posture. We feel assured that applications we deliver to clients or use internally are highly secure. It has helped us develop strategies to create stable, secure platforms.

I like the static scanning, and Veracode's interface is excellent. The dashboard is easy to navigate. I love the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) feature because it helps you explore various industries and understand what to do to minimize risks and maintain compliance. It's straightforward and ensures my applications are compliant. 

It's easy to create reports using the SBOM feature because it has templates that you can customize depending on the reporting requirements. It gives me a report of the compliance requirements for any industry. It helps us internally and improves the services we provide to our clients.

Veracode is great for preventing vulnerable code from going into production because it covers various programming languages like JavaScript and PHP. You can be confident that your code is secure no matter which language you use.

Static scanning takes a long time, so you need to patiently wait for the scan to achieve. I also think the software could be more accurate. It isn't 100 percent, so you shouldn't completely rely on Veracode. You need to manually verify its findings. 

I've used Veracode for three years.

Veracode is stable. I've been working with it for a long time. 

I rate Veracode support 10 out of 10. They're friendly and responsive. 

Positive

Deploying Veracode is straightforward. I did it with one other colleague. 

We can afford Veracode, but it's too expensive for small enterprises. If you're concerned about the price, you should weigh the benefits you can achieve. It has saved us a lot of money on DevOps. We save about $500 a month by not outsourcing this work to experts.  

I rate Veracode eight out of 10.

It's an excellent product for developing a secure platform that will benefit your company and its customers while helping you build a sustainable development team. Before implementing Veracode, you need to prepare and have at least one person who understands how to use the product. 

Veracode helps to prevent vulnerable code from going into production. They are providing remediation support. They provide a specific solution. If a code has any vulnerability, they provide the snippet of that code. They also provide recommendations. Their support team is very active. If you have any concerns related to the vulnerabilities, they schedule a call and resolve your issues. That is very good.

With Veracode, there are fewer false positives as compared to other tools. It provides genuine vulnerabilities. It is also user-friendly. They are not only sticking to SAST testing. They also have pen testing.

The visibility that Veracode provides is good. They provide a proper dashboard for everything. We have visibility into the application status at every phase of development - Static Analysis, Dynamic Analysis, Software Composition Analysis, and Manual Penetration Test. I am satisfied with it. We have not integrated it with our DevOps pipeline, but it has all the features for easy integration.

Veracode helps us to fix flaws. They provide very good recommendations. It is very easy for a developer to fix the flaws. They provide a specific solution.

Veracode has helped our developers save time. It has been very useful.

In my experience, Veracode is one of the most powerful tools available in the market from a security perspective. It is a market leader in source code analysis.

I am expecting some AI-related features in it. Also, if someone is using AI-generated code, Veracode should be able to detect that.

I have more than 12 years of experience working with Veracode. 

It is stable. There are no unplanned downtimes. If they are going to have downtime because of maintenance or any other reason, they communicate that to you a week before. They not only inform you by email. They also alert you through their portal.

Their support is good. I would rate them a ten out of ten. 

Positive

I work with almost all the tools available in the market. Its competitors are AppScan and Fortify. Synopsys is also there, and Checkmark is also there.

Veracode is the best tool as of now. That is because of the quality of the product and technical support. Veracode supports all the testing options.

Veracode is a leading tool in the market for code security. It is all about the source code review from a security perspective. It identifies the vulnerabilities in the source code. Apart from this, they also provide services for run-time code. If you have your application in production, it can also find vulnerabilities in that. They also support software composition. If your application is using a third-party library, they can identify the vulnerabilities in that.

It is straightforward. It is easy to deploy because it is a cloud-based service. It does not take long.

They are a mature company. They have already worked a lot on all the things. They keep on coming up with new features. Their R&D team is very good.

The ROI is in terms of time savings and security. If an attack happens because of a vulnerability, it costs a company and impacts its reputation. No one should be compromising on security.

As compared to others, it is a costly solution. It is overpriced, and many organizations with a limited budget cannot afford it. That is why they are going for other tools, but those tools are not that effective. Veracode is better in terms of quality. If you want good service, you have to pay for it.

I am working at a consultancy, and I did a PoC with five or six top tools in the market. I found Veracode to be the best in every aspect.

I am currently looking for some AI-powered tools. I am exploring the AI capabilities of various tools.

Overall, I would rate Veracode a nine out of ten. With AI capabilities, it would be a ten.

I have helped other companies implement Veracode Static Analysis in their IT environment. In our company, we need to scan many .NET applications using Veracode, and we could scan our software since it is a SaaS solution, after which we process the reports to improve the product.

The most valuable features of the solution are its extensive reporting capabilities and user-friendly interface.

There are certain shortcomings in Veracode's static analysis engine. I would improve Veracode's static analysis engine to make it capable of identifying vulnerabilities with low false positives.

The product is good, and if improvements are required, then such improvements should not be significant enough. There may be a slight scope to improve the product's integration capabilities. The product can also consider improving its support of different .NET versions and other programming languages, like Java.

I have been using Veracode Static Analysis for three or four months.

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.

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.

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.

Positive

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.

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.

The pricing of the product depends upon the number of codes or the number of applications.

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.

Veracode is our primary tool for identifying and resolving security flaws in our web-based applications. When I started at Advantasure, I worked on a claims product, using the tool to remedy coding issues and identify high-risk security flaws. I did that for a while before transitioning to a role as an application security engineer. In this job, I don't fix any security flaws. I help operate the environment. 

We have integrated Veracode with Jenkins so that we can automate building and scanning code. Jenkins uploads the build to Veracode for static and SCA scanning. 

I'm working remotely through a VPN. When I log into Veracode, I check the various applications out to ensure everything's running. If we have any issues, I report them to the appropriate teams. 

We are in the health insurance industry, so compliance with security and privacy regulations is essential. Veracode is the industry standard. We use Veracode when we do internal audits and that sort of thing. You won't be in business for long if you don't have an industry-standard static security tool.

I have only worked at this company for two years, so I can't comment on what it was like before I joined, but Veracode does a good overall job of interfacing with us and giving us advice about areas we can improve. The company has used Veracode for a while, so it's not about improving per se. It's about maintaining and learning to use the tool better or making better use of dynamic scans. Our security doesn't depend on one feature. We're implementing multiple features, such as static and dynamic scans. 

Their policies are relatively helpful for compliance. The policy configuration tool works well. We try to use one policy to cover all our applications. Once we've configured the policy correctly, it does an excellent job of applying that to each application and ensuring compliance. Veracode provides good visibility, and the reports are integrated, so we get insight into each type of scan.

Veracode's false positive rate is decent overall. The biggest challenge isn't a C or C++ call, but it's tricky to follow the data flows when using a web interface. You get a few false positives every once in a while. 

I always tell our developers to verify all false positives because Veracode cannot follow your code flow. It's up to the developer to follow the code flow and check whether it's a false positive. The initial report is an excellent place to start. I don't think the false positives affect developer confidence. I never hear anybody complain about false positives.

The biggest challenge isn't Veracode; it's getting our developers to be compliant. Our organization is undergoing some changes, and we must remind the developers to do their jobs. As an application security engineer, I struggle to get developers to do these tasks because they don't want to do them. At the end of the day, the false positive rate doesn't affect developer productivity.

Veracode doesn't really help developers save time because we're already a mature organization. Their support team has helped us optimize our scan configuration significantly. Regarding the regular developers' goals, we have existing documentation and hold meetings with them. They do support consultations when developers have an issue. 

I like Veracode's static scanning and SCA. We use three static scans, software composition analysis, and dynamic scans. We haven't used dynamic scanning as much, but we're trying to integrate that into our environment more. 

For the most part, we've had good luck with the static scans as well as the software composition analysis scans. Veracode does a decent job of catching most vulnerabilities from making it into production, but it doesn't catch everything.

I have a few pet peeves and minor areas of irritation. Their customer success team does an excellent job, but getting their internal engineering team to do things isn't easy. They seem to lack a focus on maintaining the solution and improving it in the next generation. 

It's a common problem in the industry. Software developers are always thinking about the next big thing but lose sight of what's happening right now. If you have an idea for a feature request, you must submit it to be voted on by the Veracode community. I don't like this. No one will look at it unless enough people vote for it. 

Another issue we have concerns entry points. You must select the entry points for a static scan of your stuff. However, you can fix this by having templates in  Jenkins. Things can sometimes change, confusing Veracode. I want to lock those entry points in. Eventually, our DevOps team will create templates for everything. If I want a new template, I need to submit it to the community and get my peers to vote on it. It's a waste of time. 

I have used Veracode for two years.

I've been impressed with Veracode's stability. The solution doesn't go down often. The dynamic scans went down the other day, but that was a problem with the infrastructure, and AWS rarely has outages. Overall, it's dependable. 

We haven't had any scalability issues with our current scan volume, but we're a medium-usage client. We have more than 30 static scans and 12 to 15 dynamic scans and don't seem to have issues with performance. 

I rate Veracode support 7.5 out of 10. Overall, our technical support is decent.  You have to find someone who works well with you. My biggest challenge is dynamic scanning and getting up to speed on that. You must find out who's good and stick with them as much as you can. 

Neutral

Our ROI comes mainly in the form of compliance. We get a star rating when we're automated, and we need to maintain that. We currently have a fairly high rating, so it's not so much about gaining stars. We need to avoid losing them. By maintaining our high rating, we can also gain more clients. 

Veracode is expensive, but other solutions cost as much, if not more. For example, Rapid7's dynamic scan tool was at least as expensive as Veracode, and Rapid7 wasn't willing to negotiate. We are a reasonably large user. 

It's a fair price. If you're worried about getting your money's worth, you could ask Veracode for a trial license and compare it to other tools in terms of pricing versus features. That's how I would do it. It's crucial to do your homework. At this point, we're somewhat locked in and won't change unless we find something significantly cheaper or better. 

The company looked at other options, and we try to do one-stop shopping when possible. We looked at other tools like Rapid7 but decided against doing a proof of concept because it doesn't offer static analysis. I don't think they could do software composition without static analysis. 

We could use Rapid7 for dynamic scans, but then we would have issues with report integration. One of the primary reasons we use Veracode today is that they have solid support. They typically respond to almost any ticket within 24 hours. Veracode also does an excellent job of integrating its various tools for static scanning, dynamic scanning, etc. 

At the end of the day, we stay with Veracode primarily because of the solution's integration. Our license is up this year, and we currently have no plans to seek out another vendor. We may consider switching next year.

I rate Veracode seven out of 10. Before you evaluate Veracode or any other solution, you need to sit down with other specialists and decision-makers to develop some criteria. See if Veracode will give you a free trial license, and start testing it out. You can also check Gartner. 

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 to identify any security issues or flaws in our code so that we can eradicate them. We also use it to keep developers on their toes, to make sure they don't introduce any new flaws.

It is helping us a lot because we can easily identify vulnerable code by just scanning and, therefore, we are able to prevent it from going into production.

Veracode has given us access to high-quality data and automated testing, and it has helped our organization to make sure that we create platforms without any malicious code or risks. Our application for our clients is very secure. And because it has static code analysis and produces good reports, it has definitely enabled us to be very scalable in what we do and to produce a stable solution.

What it has done is that before we try to implement, we think over the security using Veracode. We analyze things and create a very good report of what it is going to be. So in the future, we have an application-centric view that is giving us the possible threats. Before we scan, we already know what the targets are that we want to achieve.

The solution also really helps a developer to know exactly where they need to fix things and where they implemented errors, by allowing them to analyze their code. So confidence that developers get from Veracode is that they know exactly what code is causing an error or causing a vulnerability. They avoid those issues and it helps them to really develop very quickly.

It has saved quite a bit of money and effort. It helps create a meaningful improvement in the security of our products. It helps you to develop faster. You save a lot of time because you don't have to debug things manually. That would take a lot of time. You just scan with Veracode and you see all the code that needs to be fixed. It really saves a lot of money because it would be very expensive to hire a technical team or developer to trace every issue in the code. A single package of Veracode saves you a lot compared to if you were to have a team of three or four people[e. With Veracode, small teams can use it and do their tasks better. At any stage of development, they know where to fix things and the flow makes it easy to produce things on time. It saves us 50 percent of our time.

And with security being paramount, we now know that every solution we are providing, that we put into production, is stable, secure, risk-free, and compliant with industry standards. We are now trusted by more of our customers who use platforms as well as by more stakeholders.

It has helped reduce costs because we have two or three developers who can maintain security by doing the scans. We don't need a lot of developers. We just need a few with the technical skills to use Veracode.

The user interface is quick, familiar, and user-friendly and makes navigation to other software very easy. It is also easy to scan a new application and view the results of previous scans and generate a report.

It is really great when it comes to knowing the vulnerabilities in the code as well.

Veracode has also really tried to make sure that they comply with any standards and regulations, and the process is quick and quite straightforward. That has had a very good and positive impact.

It can be a bit complex because it takes a lot of time to have it complete the task.

Also, the interface is disjointed. 

And the documentation is kind of confusing. It may not be updated in the same way that the software is.

There is also a little bit of a learning curve before you can do security scanning of any application.

I've used Veracode for three years.

It is stable. I haven't experienced any downtime.

And it is scalable enough. You can integrate it with third parties to come up with a meaningful solution.

Their support group is very good. They really make sure that you get enough support. You can schedule a consultation and most of the consultants are very helpful in troubleshooting any lines you go through.

However, technical support literally takes weeks or months to respond to requests and that causes a lot of delays. It's horrible. It affects our workflow and progress.

Negative

We didn't have a previous solution.

Deploying and implementing Veracode is straightforward. Things get complex when you want to use it.

It doesn't require any maintenance.

We did it in-house. I worked with two of my colleagues.

To a small extent, we have seen ROI, on the order of 10 percent. It is very expensive to use and that means you really need to make a lot of sales before you can compete with the cost of Veracode. The ROI is there, but very small.

It is expensive. It depends on the use case, but it is very hard to find a pricing page on their website. Instead, they need to analyze your use case, but without knowing the entire project and how you're going to be using Veracode, how many scans you're going to do, if yours is a small business, it is very expensive and it affects ROI.

If you're concerned about the price, it is not a good solution for a small company.

Veracode's false positive rate is moderate.

My advice would be that this is a great platform, overall, if you have the budget to use it. It does great work that can really help out. But I wouldn't recommend it to a small business because the pricing is not registered on their website. They will have to take you through an assessment. The responses that you deliver will determine the pricing you'll be given. In the end, it may affect ROI.

But if a business is okay with the budget required by Veracode, I would certainly say it is great. It does a lot of security scans to make your applications secure. It will help developers to develop faster.
