"Our clients use CAST Highlight for cloud migration. This allows them to remove or remediate the blockers which are highlighted. This part of the solution shows improvement in quality and captures feedback for our clients."
"Used for controlling the technical debt and code quality."
"The most valuable feature of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is its security dashboard which is a dedicated dashboard that's pretty helpful because it gives compliance checks based on some of the leading frameworks in the industry, such as ISO 5055, OWASP, CWE Top 25, and NIST security guidelines. I find the security dashboard of the solution and the information it provides pretty useful. The security dashboard of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is a feature that stands out."
"CAST's risk and security flow detection capabilities are highly effective, particularly in identifying security vulnerabilities. It is one of the most important and valuable features of the platform."
"It supports most programming languages."
"Vulnerability Management and mitigation recommendations help with resolution of issues found, prior to deployment to production."
"The solution is a specialist in SAST that you can rely on. Code scanning is fast with current, updated algorithms."
"Veracode static analysis allows us to pinpoint issues - from a simple hard-coded test password, to more serious issues - and saves us lot of time. For example, it raises a flag about a problematic third-party DLL before development invests time heavy using it."
"Provides the capability to track remediation and the handling of identified vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the efficiency of the tool in finding vulnerabilities."
"The innovative features offered by Veracode are excellent."
"The developers' awareness of the security weaknesses within their code has improved. They aren't just mitigating these issues, they are realizing these are, in fact, issues that have to be dealt with."
"Good static analysis and dynamic analysis."
"Areas for improvement in CAST AIP include enhancing support for implementation in complex environments and improving technical support to address organizational challenges alongside engineering issues."
"It has very few plugins to access different code repositories, so source code has to be fed."
"The integration of this solution could be improved."
"Implementation could be made more simpler as it is complex."
"The overall coverage of rules could be improved in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform because it does not cater to or cover all. For example, 2022 CWE coverage is still not available in the CAST Application Intelligence Platform. The solution also covers some NIST rules, but it does not cater to all rules. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next update of the CAST Application Intelligence Platform is for it to provide source code developer and contributor details, especially information on which areas of code were touched. This would be a good insight as the CAST Application Intelligence Platform looks into the source code."
"We have encountered occasional issues with scalability."
"There needs to be better API integration to the development team's pipeline, which is something that is missing and needs to be improved."
"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."
"It could be improved with support for more programming languages, like SQL."
"They need to have a plug-in, a better integration with the development environment."
"I'd like to see more development tools and platforms integrated together with Veracode to amplify the solution's effectiveness."
"Veracode is a little costly. It's cost-effective for a large enterprise, but it may be too expensive for small businesses."
