Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"What I like the most about Pentera is its solution-oriented approach.""The most valuable feature of Pentera is that you can do continuous vulnerability assessment, which is automated.""Maybe there are some remediation steps on the website, we can mask sensitive information on the website better.""The product is easy to use.""The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."

More Pentera Pros →

"It has provided what we were looking for in such an application, meaning static application security testing functionality. That was what we were interested in.""When those scans kick, Veracode integrates back into our JIRA and actually open tickets with the appropriate development teams. We can use that as a measurement of vulnerabilities opened, closed; we can tie them to releases. So, we get a whole lot more statistical information about security in our software products.""I like the way the flaws are reported in the system.""It's helping us with security and making sure that we develop faster. It's able to scan every vulnerability. It's very powerful software that one can use to make sure that you have a very good, secure platform.""The product provides guidance to develop secure software.""Veracode Security Labs are fantastic. My team loves getting the hands-on experience of putting in a flaw and fixing it. It's interactive. We've gotten decent support from the sales and software engineers, so the initial support was excellent. They scheduled a consultation call to dive deep and discuss why we see these findings and codes. That was incredibly helpful.""All the features provided by Veracode are valuable, including static scan, dynamic scan, and MPT (Manual Penetration Testing).""There have been a lot of benefits gained from Veracode. Compared to other tools, Veracode has good flexibility with an easy way to run a scan. We get in-depth details on how to fix things and go through the process. They provide good process documents, community, and consultation for any issues that occur during the use of Veracode."

Cons
"Maybe scalability. I know that the Pentera right now is high level in order to scan big deals over 500 IPs and not less, and not less. That can be more granular. This will be useful.""The price could be improved.""The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great.""There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility.""Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering."

More Pentera Cons →

"Sometimes we get a lot of false positives even after configuring our policies, so that could be improved.""Veracode's SAST, DAST, and SCA are pretty good with respect to industry standards, but with regard to container security, they are in either beta or alpha testing. They need to get that particular feature up and running so that they take care of the container security part.""The interface is one thing I find a little challenging. Veracode's interface feels a little outdated compared to other solutions, and it could be modernized. I'm mostly happy with the features, but Vercaode could add Docker image scanning.""The product has issues with scanning.""Veracode scans provide a higher number of false positives.""In the next release, I would like a proper way of packaging files for scanning and the packing of IOS apps and API Dynamic scan methodology.""The scanning takes a lot of time to complete.""Ideally, I would like better reporting that gives me a more concise and accurate description of what my pain points are, and how to get to them."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We have to pay a yearly licensing cost for Pentera."
  • "It's not that expensive, but it could be more cost-effective."
  • More Pentera Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Its complexity makes it quite expensive, but it’s all worth it, with all the engineering in the background."
  • "The pricing is pretty high."
  • "The worst part about the product is that it does not scale at all. Also, microservices apps will cost you a fortune."
  • "I think licensing needs to be changed or updated so that it works with adjustments. Pricing is expensive compared to the amount of scanning we perform."
  • "It's worth the value"
  • "Pricing seems fair for what is offered, and licensing has been no problem. All developers are able to get the access they need."
  • "It can be expensive to do this, so I would just make sure that you're getting the proper number of licenses. Do your analysis. Make sure you know exactly what it is you need, going in."
  • "The licensing and prices were upfront and clear. They stand behind everything that is said during the commercial phase and during the onboarding phase. Even the most irrelevant "that can be done" was delivered, no matter how important the request was."
