Makes us aware of any potential code security vulnerabilities in our products
Pros and Cons
  • "Informs me of code security vulnerabilities. Bamboo build automation with Veracode API calls are used.​"
  • "The user interface could be more sleek. Some scanning requirements aren't flexible. Some features take some time for new users to understand (like what exactly "modules" are)."

What is our primary use case?

Scanning for code security vulnerabilities within our company's products.

How has it helped my organization?

Made our company aware of any potential code security vulnerabilities. Also, customers can use our products knowing they are verified by top organizations as safe.

What is most valuable?

Informing me of application security vulnerabilities. Bamboo build-automation with Veracode API calls are used.

What needs improvement?

  • The user interface could be more sleek.
  • Some scanning requirements aren't flexible.
  • Some features take some time for new users to understand (like what exactly "modules" are).

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No issues with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No issues with scalability.

How is customer service and technical support?

Great.

How was the initial setup?

Somewhat straightforward. There was a little confusion about "missing modules" that are third-party files that we couldn't upload because we don't actually have them. That really confused us, but the technical support resolved the confusion.

What was our ROI?

I can't report on any cost savings relating to code fixes since implementing Veracode in our development process, but it makes us feel more confident about our code, which is awesome.

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

We are satisfied.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

None. We might look into Checkmarx.

What other advice do I have?

I am very likely to recommend Veracode to colleagues. Veracode is great.

We have heard the need for faster scan times and I see this was an area you wanted to see improvement. I wanted to give you an update regarding our Static scanning. We recently extended the Veracode Static Analysis product family to include three purpose-built scan types:

• IDE Scan, which provides fast, automated security feedback to developers in the IDE, in seconds
• Pipeline Scan, a new, first-of-its-kind offering, which runs on every build and provides security feedback on code at a team level, with a median scan time of 90 seconds
• Policy Scan, which returns a full security assessment of the code before release, in a median scan time of 8 minutes

If you would like more information on our static analysis improvements let me know!
