Good scanning, manages security risks, and prevents vulnerable code from going into production
Pros and Cons
  • "The deployment mode is very useful."
  • "The pricing is worth it."
  • "It's taking too much time to do a quality scan."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

While there is no lagging or crashing, it takes too much time to deploy. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We haven't had any issues with scalability. That said, currently we are not scaling. Previously it was fine. Currently, we're not scaling. 

How are customer service and support?

Currently, we do not use support. We don't communicate with them. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We have used SAP and Jenkins in the past.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What about the implementation team?

The deployment is automated using Jenkins. We just need some parameters to deploy the code to the environment.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not evaluate other options before choosing this solution.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Provides compliance reporting so we can identify issues without having to rely on complaints
Pros and Cons
  • "I believe the static analysis is Veracode's best and most valuable feature. Software composition analysis is a feature that most people don't use, and we don't use SCA for most of our applications. However, this is an essential feature because it provides insight into the third-party libraries we use."
  • "We have some constraints interacting with Veracode self-support. I'm not talking about their technical support. I'm talking about self-support. We sometimes have a hard time communicating with them."

What is our primary use case?

We have multiple verticals and products, and we use Veracode to perform static analysis on our hosted applications across all the platforms. We also perform static and software composition analysis on a couple of products.

Our offices are spread out across North America, South America, Europe, and Cyprus. We also have offices in Australia that use the solution. About 25 to 30 people use the solution regularly. 

How has it helped my organization?

Veracode has greatly improved the security posture of our applications because we can identify and mitigate vulnerabilities that we couldn't have without the solution. Veracode provides compliance reporting so we can identify issues without having to rely on complaints. Veracode has been extremely effective at fixing flaws in our applications. We have multiple applications across multiple verticals

Veracode or any other solution like it doesn't prevent anything. The product provides insight into the vulnerabilities, but it's up to the end-user to mitigate that and move it into production. If we fail to remedy the issue and move the code into production, it isn't Veracode's failure. We can't judge the product based on whether it could do that. The product is doing what it should be doing.

In addition to dynamic and static analysis, we can perform software composition analysis, which involves going into the various libraries to retrieve details about that. We see a few false positives in Veracode but not many. It's negligible. 

Veracode has saved our developers time by identifying and reporting flaws. The developers don't need to spend time checking the code by hand. It reduces the time spent on these tasks by about 10 to 20 percent. 

What is most valuable?

I believe the static analysis is Veracode's best and most valuable feature. Software composition analysis is a feature that most people don't use, and we don't use SCA for most of our applications. However, this is an essential feature because it provides insight into the third-party libraries we use.

What needs improvement?

We have some constraints interacting with Veracode self-support. I'm not talking about their technical support. I'm talking about self-support. We sometimes have a hard time communicating with them.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used Veracode for the last five or six years, but the company has used it for nearly 10. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Veracode is a highly stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I haven't had a scenario where we've had to scale it.

How are customer service and support?

I rate Veracode technical support nine out of 10. They are excellent. When we have problems, they provide a solution every time. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We had been using a third-party service for vulnerability checking. 

How was the initial setup?

The deployment is a little complex. There is a small learning curve, but it isn't too difficult. The installation isn't hard, but we need to configure the dynamic analysis where it connects to a hosted application and performs checks. We have to configure the console and set a schedule. It takes a couple of hours to configure a new application.

What was our ROI?

We have been able to mitigate lots of flaws and vulnerabilities, so Veracode has had a positive effect on our products. It's hard for me to quantify. Our company has a large footprint across Asia, North America, South America, and Europe. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Veracode is fairly priced. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Veracode eight out of 10. I would recommend Veracode to other users. However, I suggest doing a proof of concept before moving forward with any solution.

It's good for static scans and compliance, but it takes a long time to deal with the false positives
Pros and Cons
  • "The CSCA vulnerability scanning is useful."
  • "The dynamic scanning feature works, but it doesn't work properly for some of our applications. It doesn't allow us to skip. They claim that we can do this, but it doesn't work when we're scanning the applications in real-time."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use Veracode for static code analysis.

How has it helped my organization?

Veracode detects vulnerabilities. The most essential part is Veracode's PCI compliance policies. We need to make sure our code is compliant. Veracode's policy reporting features are effective at ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations. The policy has changed here, but that functionality works quite well. It provides visibility to application status at every development stage. 

The solution helped us find and fix flaws. It ultimately saves us some time, but we still spend a long time sorting through the false positives. Every report generates a number of issues, some of which are valid. Others are mitigated by application design or network devices. Veracode improved our security overall. There is no doubt about that. 

What is most valuable?

The CSA vulnerability scanning is useful. 

What needs improvement?

The dynamic scanning feature appears to be working, however, 90%-95% of all vulnerabilities could be easily detected by any web browser.

When it comes to dynamic scanning Veracode needs to improve its functionality.

They claim that we can do this, but it doesn't work when we're scanning the applications in real time.  

Static code analysis generates too many false positives, so it takes a lot of time to review them all. The security and development teams need to work together to mitigate the false positives. It doesn't affect the developers' confidence in the solution. It still works, but it takes time. It has a significant impact on the process. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Veracode for five or six years.

How are customer service and support?

I rate Veracode support a seven out of ten. We have weekly meetings with the support representatives to discuss any issues with the tool. It's pretty good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

What other advice do I have?

I rate Veracode a five out of ten.

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.

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.

Secures our apps with accurate vulnerability detection in a straightforward, efficient solution
Pros and Cons
  • "I like the sandbox, the ability to upload compiled code, and how easy it is."
  • "The sandbox could use some improvement; when creating a sandbox, it requires us to put the application name in twice, which seems unnecessary."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use cases are uploading and assigning scans, uploading compiled codes into the sandboxes, and searching marks to determine whether scans have been completed.

We have multiple locations, teams, and endpoints; we're a worldwide telecommunications company with over 2000 internal and external apps. Some apps communicate from the outside to the inside, but every app goes through Veracode.

How has it helped my organization?

We have to scan about 2000 apps, and we're already at 366 scanned within the year's first two months. Additionally, the company has been using Veracode for years; both are testaments to the solution's efficiency.

The platform provides visibility into application status at every phase of the development- Veracode Static Analysis, Dynamic Analysis, Software Composition Analysis, and Manual Penetration Testing throughout our SDLC. In terms of DevSecOps processes, the solution makes them quicker and smoother, with less confusion.   

Veracode positively affects our organization's ability to fix flaws; we have a particular app at the moment that failed the scan twice due to its vulnerabilities. Without the solution, we likely wouldn't get that.

The solution has positively affected our organization's overall security posture and will continue to improve it. 

What is most valuable?

I like the sandbox, the ability to upload compiled code, and how easy it is.

It's also straightforward to find scans we've uploaded. 

The solution's ability to prevent vulnerable code from going into production is incredible. I have done several consultations and remediation calls with the app team, and Veracode catches almost everything. It picks up the same issues in everything we scan, and we've done a lot of retests that way; the tool is very proficient in this area.  

Veracode helps our developers save time; it's a straightforward product that shows us the vulnerabilities and allows us to relay them back to the developers. This is faster and more efficient than staff going through the code manually. The solution is like having a proofreading app for our code rather than using a proofreader.  

What needs improvement?

The sandbox could use some improvement; when creating a sandbox, it requires us to put the application name in twice, which seems unnecessary.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for a month and a half. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Veracode is very stable; unlike many programs and apps, I've never had a problem with it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable; we're a global telecom company, and we use it to scan every one of our over 2000 apps. 

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is excellent. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'm unfamiliar with the solution's pricing, but it must be worth the cost from a company perspective, as we have been using it for years and have no plans to move away from it.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The product was in place long before I arrived at the company, so I don't know if they evaluated other options.

What other advice do I have?

I rate the solution 10 out of 10. 

I recommend Veracode to any company looking for this type of platform. Though I need to become more familiar with competitor products, I like going into programs and clicking around. Even if I don't initially understand something within Veracode, I can keep going and make sense of it. I updated my resume to include my new experience with the solution.

Veracode reduced the cost of DevSecOps for our organization; we upload a scan, run the test, get the vulnerabilities, and set up a remediation meeting. This makes communication more manageable, and the information is more visible, as all our staff can access the scan results. In several instances, we've consulted with employees from the Veracode side, and they've been very helpful in walking our app team and testers through whatever vulnerabilities we've had issues with.

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.

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.
