Veracode
Chose Veracode
Acunetix was too difficult to set up and some features were useless for our product. The results weren't clear, so definitely Veracode is better than Acunetix. We use WhiteSource because the level of detail is much better than Veracode. We didn't choose Veracode over them but …
Chose Veracode
Veracode was brought in to supplement services previously provided by other vendors. As our org recently acquired another organization, we identified Veracode as a 'go-forward' system needed to consolidate security tooling in the organization.
Chose Veracode
Veracode is an all-in-one solution, whereas the others have various tools, but not an all-encompassing solution.
Chose Veracode
1. We need only a few features and detailed reporting for static analysis. Veracode is enough to suit that need.
2. We have not used other products since 2013. So Veracode became de-facto standard for us.

Invicti Security
It is best suited for integrated security testing of applications which are hosted on web servers. The most important thing is the integration of DevSecOps which is crucial in today's fast paced environment of rapid development. The core of Acunetix is application scanning which is really great and I highly recommend this product to everyone

Veracode
Veracode is well suited for development applications that can be made more secure right from the beginning. There is an excellent extension in Visual Studio that scans code from the IDE. However, it is less appropriate or incompatible with scanning SOAP or WSDL APIs. It supports only REST APIs.

Pros
Invicti Security

Veracode
  • Veracode performs Static Application Security Testing (SAST) very well by finding flaws in the code using entry points so that it tests for everything a user can interact with in the application. This approach is very helpful for avoiding a lot of false positives early on.
  • Veracode performs SCA automatically on every SAST scan, so that we don't have to manually scan the application again for SCA scans.
  • Veracode integrates very well with the ticketing tools, so that it becomes very easy to track every finding and its status within our ticketing tool.

Veracode
  • 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.

At this time, and we just renewed a month ago, I dont see any products out there overall that can offer what Veracode does. Yes, its not cheap by any means, but for the money its the best application security scanning tool out there.

Veracode
- Almost no setup required and easy to configure - Very easy to use, intuitive UI with integrated analytics and learning portals. - Seamless to review the results, triage them, generate reports. - Security progression of the product/application is tracked via successive scans. - Privileges/Roles nicely fine grained and tightly controlled to let teams "view" only their products.

At this point, it runs well and mostly in a timely fashion. Dynamic scans take days but this may be a config issue still to be resolved.

Overall, Veracode support is helpful, community support is great, and documentation is available for self-service. Our Customer Success Manager is very helpful and reaches out regularly to see if we need assistance. We have not utilized many of the other resources offered by Veracode, however, in the future we would like to leverage secure coding training for our Development teams.

We use it as a SAS service, so really just getting our teams to mold the use of Veracode into their SDLC has been a process of years in the making. It comes down to what your teams are ready and willing to accept and change. Management is key in getting their groups on board with using it regularly. If it doesnt have management backing, your security teams have little to no influence in getting this process off the ground fully.

ZAP is a free tool, and adequate. But it is to that extent less friendly. I would not be as confident of the results and it definitely can't produce reports on par with Acunetix. There would be a lot of legwork on our end if we desired to switch to this tool.

Veracode is slower with scan results however the flaws discovered and sites crawled are almost the same. Rapid7 InsightAppSec only does dynamic scans. Veracode did find more links on a site crawl. Rapid7 InsightAppSec has more out of the box reports than Veracode. Both integration to DevOps tools were striaghtforward.

Return on Investment
Invicti Security
  • Saved money compared to other commercial scanners, especially over the long run.
  • Scan speed seems to be pretty good compared to some of the bulkier commercial products out there. However, that largely has to do with proper configuration.
  • A downside is that is requires a bit of extra work just to get it set up to scan APIs, web services, etc.

Veracode
  • Veracode's platform has had a very positive impact on our security posture, paving the path towards having coverage monitored automatically on hundreds of internal applications throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Veracode's platform has also had a very positive impact on improving the security knowledge of our development team, providing meaningful feedback as well as training options to reduce mitigation time and help to prevent flaws before they are created.
