The tool can be a little more intuitive for the end users. It isn't a very friendly tool for beginners. In our company, we have to take training courses to learn how to use the platform. Introducing automation and making the tool a little more intuitive for businesses might be helpful. In our company, we need to take care of the tool's regular updates since, often, the solution may be down. My company has a business administration unit team that is responsible for the updation of tools we use, and their processes can take a day or two to be completed, because of which we may lose out on some time when we may have required the tool to do a complete scan. It would be helpful if the update process can be made faster. If I make use of the integration capabilities of Codebashing, then the plug-ins won't work as smoothly as it does in the application itself. Maybe the solution's plug-ins can be improved.

The platform is simple, easy to use, and easy to learn. It has comprehensive guidelines and a lot of documents and videos for an easy installation process. Apart from some default rules, it allows users to configure their own rules. Also, it is easy to configure as it has an extensive library for reference.

Because I am not the direct user, but rather a reseller, I may not know, because the only way we will know is if we receive a complaint from one of our users. We have received any major complaints that tell us what needs to be changed, on the tool, or where they need to improve it. Change is an unavoidable constant. There will always be opportunities for change and improvement in order to provide more value to their end users. However, I am unable to specify where the change or improvement will be required. It is difficult to say, but maybe there are areas of the solution that could improve. 30% improvement. It does not require storage. Because it is an online tool, there is no need for backup. It is a training platform. When it identifies your area of weakness, it shows you and instructs you on what to do. You, simply log in. It's similar to a cloud base. I expect the dashboard to be improved based on user feedback and, of course, as technology advances. I would like to see Certificates issued to users. I believe that certificates should be issued to users so that they can be used as proof of having completed that training. The certificate is currently not being used for any competence validation outside of the chance environment. They should issue certificates to the users, which can be used as evidence of security development code.

Valuable Features

"The platform is simple, easy to use, and easy to learn."
"The installation phase of the tool is simple."
"The most important aspect of Codebashing, in my opinion, is the gamification advantage. When compared to competitors' offerings, the most significant thing to emphasize is gamification. The rest is similar to the competitors."

Room for Improvement

"The product's pricing could be more flexible."
"It isn't a very friendly tool for beginners. In our company, we have to take training courses to learn how to use the platform."
"From my perspective, Codebashing might use some enhancement. Clients should be able to handle their tests directly according to their needs. That aspect of Codebashing is currently inflexible. Customers would wish to sign, compile, or manage their tests in accordance with their requirements. It is just not possible."

Pricing

"As a developer, though I am unaware of the cost of the solution, the product is expensive since I faced some trouble upgrading to Python for Codebashing."
"I would prefer it if their pricing would be a bit cheaper. This is not my personal comment, this is the comment of the market."
"Licenses are renewed annually."
