We performed a comparison between Klocwork 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."Technical support is quite good."
"The reporting helps us understand the trend of our results and whether we improve over time. We can see the history within Klocwork's server architecture and know that we're making things better. It creates a great story for our management. We can demonstrate value and how our software is developing over time."
"It's integrated into our CI, continuous integration."
"One can increase the number of vendors, so the solution is scalable."
"There is a central Klocwork server at our headquarter in France so we connect the client directly to the server on-premises remotely."
"Klocwork's most valuable feature is the static code analysis feature. It detects the potential problem earlier to allow the developer to receive feedback quickly and then address it before it becomes a problem."
"The tool helps the team to think beforehand about corner cases or potential bugs that might arise in real-time."
"There's a feature in Klocwork called 'on-the-fly analysis', which helps developers to find and fix the defects at the time of development itself."
"The Veracode technical support is very good. They are responsive and very knowledgeable."
"The dependency graph visualization provides the ability to see nested dependencies within libraries for pinpointing vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is Veracode SDP, which allows for something related to third-party vulnerabilities. When we build a product, we use a lot of third-party libraries instead of building everything from scratch. We just use a library which is already been built; we just use that component in our product. Sometimes, these libraries may have bugs or issues, and it's hard to keep track of them because we use thousands of them."
"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."
"The capability to identify vulnerable code is the most valuable feature of Veracode."
"Informs me of code security vulnerabilities. Bamboo build automation with Veracode API calls are used."
"This is a great tool for learning about potential vulnerabilities in code."
"The solution's ability to help create secure software is very valuable. We're a zero-trust networking company so we want to have the ability to say that we're practicing security seriously. Having something like Veracode allows us to have confidence when we're speaking to people about our product that we can back up what we're doing with a certification, with a reputable platform, and say, "This is what we're using to scan an application. Here's the number of vulnerabilities that are on an application. And here's the risk that we're accepting.""
"Klocwork has to improve its features to stay ahead of other free solutions."
"Klocwork does have a problem with true positives. It only found 30% of true positives in the Juliet test case."
"We bought Klocwork, but it was limited to one little program, but the program is now sort of failing. So, we have a license for usage on a program that is sort of failing, and we really can't use the license on anything else."
"Every update that we receive requires of us a lengthy and involved process."
"I would like to see better codes between projects and a more user-friendly desktop in the next release."
"I believe it should support more languages, such as Python and JavaScript."
"This solution could be improved if they offered support of more languages including Ada and Golang. They currently only support seven languages."
"The way to define the rules is too complex. The definition/rules for static analysis could be automated according to various SILs, so as to avoid confusion."
"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."
"Veracode is a little costly. It's cost-effective for a large enterprise, but it may be too expensive for small businesses."
"We are testing Veracode's software composition analysis, but we're having trouble integrating it with SVN. It works out of the box when you use Git but doesn't work as well with other tools like SVN. It's more geared toward Git"
"Maybe the pipeline scanning doesn't support enough languages. It might only support Java and Python only, so that could be improved."
"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."
"It can take time to find options if you don’t use the interface a lot. At some point, a bit of interface restyling may help."
"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."
"The overall reporting structure is complicated, and it's difficult to understand the report."

The top reviewer of Klocwork writes "Their technical team helps us get the most out of the solution, but we've faced some stability problems in our environment". 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 ". Klocwork is most compared with SonarQube, Coverity, Polyspace Code Prover, CodeSonar and Parasoft SOAtest, whereas Veracode is most compared with SonarQube, Checkmarx One, Snyk, Fortify on Demand and OWASP Zap.
