Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
We have seen measurable decrease in the mean time to respond to threats by 20 percent. | We used it for performing security checks. We have many Java applications and Android applications. Essentially it was used for checking the security validations for compliance purposes. I have used this solution in multiple projects for vulnerability testing and finding security leaks within the code. The most valuable feature comes from the fact that it is cloud-based, and I can scale up without having to worry about any other infrastructure needs. 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. One of the valuable features is that it gives us the option of static scanning. Most tools of this type are centered around dynamic scanning. Having a static scan is very important. It has an easy-to-use interface. Veracode provides faster scans compared to other static analysis security testing tools. It has almost completely eliminated the presence of SQLi vulnerabilities. |
Cons | |
I would like more details of what the product can do. | One of the things that we have from a reporting point of view, is that we would love to see a graphical report. If you look through a report for something that has come back from Veracode, it takes a whole lot of time to just go through all the pages of the code to figure out exactly what it says. We know certain areas don’t have the greatest security features but those are usually minor and we don’t want to see those types of notifications. Ideally, I would like better reporting that gives me a more concise and accurate description of what my pain points are, and how to get to them. I would like to see expanded coverage for supporting more platforms, frameworks, and languages. Veracode should make it easier to navigate between the solutions that they offer, i.e. between dynamic, static, and the source code analysis. We would like a way to mark entire modules as "safe." The lack of this feature hasn't stopped us previously, it just makes our task more tedious at times. That kind of feature would save us time. Veracode scans provide a higher number of false positives. The overall reporting structure is complicated, and it's difficult to understand the report. It needs more timely support for newer languages and framework versions. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | They have just streamlined the licensing and they have a number of flexible options available, so overall it is quite good, albeit pricey. They just changed their pricing model two weeks ago. They went from a per-app license to a per-megabyte license. I know that the dynamic scan was $500 per app. Static analysis was about $4500 yearly. The license is only for the number of users, it doesn't matter what data you put in there. That was the old model. I do not know how the new model works. Veracode has been fair. We use their SaaS solution and it's just an annual subscription. No issues, the pricing seems reasonable. It is pricey. There is a lot of value in the product, but it is a costly tool. I recommend going for a one-year licensing with CA, because currently they are the leaders in this field with more features and a much better turn around time with a cheaper position, but there are a lot of new companies coming up in the market and they are building up their platforms. Costs are reasonable. No special infrastructure is required and the license model is good. I think the pricing is in line with the rest of the tools. I think you get what you pay for. It is certainly not inexpensive, but the value proposition is there. There are certainly cheaper tools, but I don't think we'd be getting the support that we get with those, and that is what separates this product from the others. |
