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

More Pentera Pros →

"It has improved the quality of code being delivered for test and its vulnerability resolutions timeline has improved.""This static analysis helps ensure a secure application rollout across all environments.""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.""We have found the static analysis to be useful in Veracode Static Analysis. However, we are in the process of testing.""We use it to get our scan results and see where our software is vulnerable or not vulnerable.""The most valuable features of the solution are its extensive reporting capabilities and user-friendly interface.""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.""Veracode's cloud-based approach, coupled with the appliance that lets us use Veracode to scan internal-only web applications, has provided a seamless, always-up-to-date application security scanning solution."

More Veracode Pros →

Cons
"Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering.""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 vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great.""There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility.""The price could be improved."

More Pentera Cons →

"It does nearly everything, but penetration testing.""From the usability perspective, it is not up to date with the latest trends. It looks very old. Tools such as Datadog, New Relic, or infrastructure security tools, such as AWS Cloud, seem very user-friendly. They are completely web-based, and you can navigate through them pretty quickly, whereas Veracode is very rigid. It is like an old-school enterprise application. It does the job, but they need to invest a little more on the usability front.""The zip file scanning has room for improvement.""Scanning large amounts of code can be a time-consuming process and there is scope for improvement.""When we scan binary, when we perform binary analysis, it could go faster. That has a lot to do with the essence of scanning binary code, it takes a little bit longer. Certain aspects, depending on what type of code it is, take a little long, especially legacy code.""In the future, I would like to see the RASP capability built-in.""Another problem we have is that, while it is integrated with single sign-on—we are using Okta—the user interface is not great. That's especially true for a permanent link of a report of a page. If you access it, it goes to the normal login page that has nothing that says "Log in with single sign-on," unlike other software as a service that we use. It's quite bothersome because it means that we have to go to the Okta dashboard, find the Veracode link, and log in through it. Only at that point can we go to the permanent link of the page we wanted to access.""It needs better APIs, reporting that I can easily query through the APIs and, preferably, a license model that I can predict."

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."
