Modules Used

  • Dynamic Analysis (DAST)
  • Static Analysis (SAST)
  • Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

Overall Satisfaction with Veracode

* We run static scans on a regular basis (integrated in our continuous integration) on all our major branches.
* We review the Software Composition Analysis and the "Triage flaws" section on a regular basis (minimum every week).
* We run a dynamic scan before each major version release.
* Our goal is to fix all the Very high/high/medium vulnerabilities this year. We'll then look at the minor ones.

Pros

  • Report generation
  • Flaws description and remediation strategy
  • Consultation requests

Cons

  • Scan results stability: from one scan to another, additional flaws appear whereas code did not change.
  • Entry points selection: hard to be sure selection is optimal, should be automatized or hidden.
  • Branches management: we currently use sandboxes to scan different branches of our software. Would be good to have real branches management.
  • Adoption by developers: they are more aware of security aspects.
  • Allows us to see where we are in terms of applicative security
  • We're able to deliver clear security reports to our clients
  • JFrog Security (Xray), Coverity Static Analysis (SAST) and CheckMark 1095
Mainly for reporting: Veracode reports are really comprehensive

Do you think Veracode delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Veracode's feature set?

Yes

Did Veracode live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Veracode go as expected?

No

Would you buy Veracode again?

Yes

* (+) Report generation for our clients: reports are very comprehensive and look professional.
* (-) Veracode pipeline scan: takes too much time, need to split our application so that it can fit within the timeout (2h). Currently we're not able to use it, we still use "upload & scan" functionality in our CI pipelines. This is a showstopper to be able to break the build in case of new vuln, and also to use Fix AI based tool.
