We performed a comparison between Tenable.io Web Application Scanning and Veracode based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities."
"It is fully automated."
"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats."
"We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."
"The solution is stable."
"The Veracode technical support is very good. They are responsive and very knowledgeable."
"The source composition analysis had very good reporting."
"We are using the Veracode tools to expose the engineers to the security vulnerabilities that were introduced with the new features, i.e. a lot faster or sooner in the development life cycle."
"I appreciate the integration provided by Veracode that seamlessly integrates with our CI/CD tools and allows us to integrate with IPA as well."
"The reporting being highly accurate is pretty cool. I use another product and I was always looking for answers as to what line, which part of the code, was wrong, and what to do about it. Veracode seems to have a solid database to look things up and a website to look things up."
"The pricing is worth it."
"The innovative features offered by Veracode are excellent."
"The user interface is quick, familiar, and user-friendly and makes navigation to other software very easy."
"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."
"I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package. It is fully automated. Other web application testers programs are actually proxy software, and the proxy software gives you the flexibility of modifying the outgoing package, which will actually help you in exploiting any vulnerability in detail."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."
"It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable."
"The reporting has a very limited customization capability."
"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."
"The policies you have, where you can tune the findings you get, don't allow you not to file tickets about certain findings. It will always report the findings, even if you know you're not that concerned about a library writing to a system log, for example. It will keep raising them, even though you may have a ticket about it. The integration will keep updating the ticket every time the scan runs."
"The results of agent-based software composition analysis are not connected to policy scanning. So, for me, the only thing that Veracode can improve in Software Composition Analysis is to connect it with the policy scan because, at present, it is a bit inconvenient for those in our organization who use agent-based Software Composition Analysis. In the end, they need to make a static scan with all those libraries in order to receive that report. If Veracode implemented a connection between agent-based static scan and static scanning itself, it would be great because it would lead to fewer operations in order to prepare release documentation and release reporting from Veracode. We recently had a conversation with Veracode about it."
"One feature I would like would be more selectivity in email alerts. While I like getting these, I would like to be able to be more granular in which ones I receive."
"The Web portal, at times, is not necessarily intuitive. I can get around when I want to but there are times when I have to email my account manager on: "Hey, where do I find this report?" Or "How do I do this?" They always respond with, "Here's how you do it." But that points to a somewhat non-intuitive portal."
"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."
"It could be improved with support for more programming languages, like SQL."
"I would like to see expanded coverage for supporting more platforms, frameworks, and languages."
"It needs more timely support for newer languages and framework versions."
