Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great.""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.""What I like the most about Pentera is its solution-oriented approach.""The product is easy to use."

More Pentera Pros →

"It allows us to prove our security levels to vendors, and additionally helps us with our HIPAA security policies.""The product’s policy reporting for ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations is great.""Static analysis scanning engine is a key feature.""Veracode offers various security features.""The most important features, I would say, are the scanning abilities and the remediation abilities within the product. Scanning because, obviously, we want to make sure that our application code is flaw-free. And the remediation tools are helpful to the developers to help them track and manage their flaws.""I like Veracode's integration with our CI/CD. It automatically scans our code when we do the build. It can also detect any security flaws in our third-party libraries. Veracode is good at pinpointing the sections of code that have vulnerabilities.""I liked that I could easily find out where my errors were. Instead of going through the whole code and the scripts, it showed me where the errors were and gave me an idea of how to fix them.""The most valuable feature is detecting security vulnerabilities in the project."

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

More Pentera Cons →

"Some features could be improved in terms of user-friendliness.""Veracode can improve the price model and how they bill the final offer to customers. It's based on the amount of traffic. For example, you can buy 1 gigabyte distributed across various applications, and each one can consume part of the whole allotment of traffic data.""The solution could improve the Dynamic Analysis Security Testing(DAST).""Raw file scans and dynamic scans would be an improvement, instead of dealing with code binaries.""Scanning progress is highly dependent on the speed of the Internet.""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.""I think if they could improve the operations around accepted vulnerabilities, we would see improvements in our productivity.""The support team could be more responsive, and the dependency of users on the support team is too high and should be reduced."

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."
