Featured Reviews

Reyansh Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides detailed analysis and reports of code vulnerabilities throughout the SDLC
The user interface is excellent, the code review process is quick and provides great analytics to understand our code better, and the SAST scan is high-speed. Veracode is excellent at preventing vulnerable code from going into production; the scans are speedy and give us a detailed analysis of our code. We use the Software Bill of Materials feature; it's essential and advantageous. We can't do a bill of materials manually, so it's excellent that Veracode provides this. SBOM helps us manage our risks, as every company has software that needs to be run appropriately throughout the user and client base. It's necessary to have a security audit or security compliance in such applications, and Veracode enables this functionality so we can easily identify security flaws and take measurable action. Creating a report using the SBOM feature is straightforward, and it's important to our organization because it provides a return on our investment. Previously, we sometimes required a third-party resource to create reports, but with Veracode, it's easier to take care of that on our end. The solution's policy reporting allows us to set our standards, group policies, and regulations, so ensuring code compliance is part of its analysis. Veracode notifies us if any flaws are detected, allowing us to take action to correct them. The solution provides visibility into application status at every development phase throughout the SDLC; we can use Veracode during the development, design, testing, and implementation phases. We can easily analyze our code before commencing large production deployments and fix any issues.
