We performed a comparison between ShiftLeft and Veracode based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."
"The benefits are quick discovery and understanding of software vulnerabilities that we are putting in our own code. By discovering them quickly enough, we can triage them and determine the best ways to remediate them and prevent them from happening in the future."
"The SAST and DAST modules are great."
"The pricing is worth it."
"Veracode has good support for microservices, and I also like the sandbox environment. For example, when introducing a new component, we can scan it in a sandbox environment. It will not impact the main environment. When our team fixes it, they. can push it to the production environment when the results are acceptable."
"We like the fact that all the issues are identified and that Veracode provides sufficient information on how to resolve them."
"The policy reporting for ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations is pretty comprehensive, especially around PCI. If you do the static analysis, the dynamic analysis, and then a manual penetration test, it aggregates all of these results into one report. And then they create a PCI-specific report around it which helps to illustrate how the application adheres to different standards."
"That it is a cloud-based solution is very valuable to us. We don't need that hardware running our scans and hosting the environment to be scanned. Also, the technology, the static scanning versus dynamic scanning produces a much better result, a more accurate result."
"The integration of static testing with our Azure DevOps CI pipeline was easy."
"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."
"Veracode does not support scans for .NET Blazor server applications."
"Sometimes Veracode gives us results about small glitches in the necessary packages. For example, we recently found issues with Veracode's native libraries for .NET 6 that were fixed in the next versions of those libraries. But sometimes you do not know which version of the library particular components are using. The downside of that is that one day, the solution found some issues in that library for the necessary package we spent. Another day, it found the same issues with another library. It will clearly state that this is the same stuff you've already analyzed. This creates some additional work, but it isn't significant. However, sometimes you see the same issue for two or three days in a row."
"I would like to see these features: entering comments for internal tracking; entering a priority; reports that show the above."
"While Veracode is way ahead of its competitors on Gartner Magic Quadrant, it's a bit more expensive than Fortify. It's a good solution for the cost, but if we had a high budget, we would go with Checkmarx, which is much better than Veracode."
"The scanning is a little slow, but other than that it's fine. It's usually when the binaries get up into the multi-hundred megabyte size."
"To be able to upload source codes without being compiled. That’s one feature that drives us to see other sources."
"We have approximately 900 people using the solution. The solution is scalable, but there is a high cost attached to it."
"Sometimes, I get feedback from a developer saying, "They are scanning a Python code, but getting feedback around Java code." While the remediation and guidelines are there, improvement is still required, e.g., you won't get the exact guidelines, but you can get some sort of a high-level insights."
ShiftLeft is ranked 26th in Application Security Tools with 1 review while Veracode is ranked 2nd in Application Security Tools with 194 reviews. ShiftLeft is rated 10.0, while Veracode is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of ShiftLeft writes "Effectively in identify and fix bugs early in the development lifecycle". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Veracode writes "Helps to reduce false positives and prevent vulnerable code from entering production, but does not support incremental scanning ". ShiftLeft is most compared with SonarQube, Black Duck and Semgrep Supply Chain, whereas Veracode is most compared with SonarQube, Checkmarx One, Fortify on Demand, Snyk and OWASP Zap.
