Considered Both Products
Fortify by OpenText
Chose Fortify by OpenText
  • Veracode is the product I've used that is most similar to Fortify WebInspect. They both do a good job at reporting code vulnerabilities and both allow for good automation.
  • SonarQube can be a free tool, but does a much better job at finding bugs that aren't necessarily …
Chose Fortify by OpenText
When compared to Insight Appsec, Focus Fortify WebInspect performs better in terms of speed, integration, and detection capabilities. The variety of vulnerabilities it detected as being against Insight Appsec is what I appreciated the most. In addition to detecting …

Chose Veracode
Veracode is SaaS, it runs quicker, and it has better results in terms of false positives. The company itself is a lot better than Micro Focus in terms of support and CS, it's easier to license and they truly want to help your company get better results, in terms of AppSec, they …
Chose Veracode
Our organization uses both Fortify and Veracode. Veracode is great for any applications using third party components and testing applications that Fortify doesn't support. Veracode is typically faster with supporting new technologies, given the reliance on binaries as compared …

SDLC deployment is simple. simple to use The coverage is thorough and complete as a DAST product.

Veracode
Within our organization it is clear that when a codebase is available, and in a language that Veracode supports, the use of Veracode (with a particular focus to the static scanning platform) is a great suggestion. The depth of information it can provide with respect to security flaws is valuable, with very little setup required from the developers. When a codebase is unavailable, say in the instance of third-party applications for which you are creating extensions or some form of module, then static code scanning is not an option but even then dynamic scanning (DAST) may prove to be helpful, though potentially less so.

Pros
OpenText
  • Detection of vulnerabilities
  • Scanning pipelines
  • Integration is super easy
  • Scanned cloud based applications

Veracode
  • The pipeline scan is a very fast way to scan code and inform developers if a new flaw is introduced by their pull requests.
  • Upload & Scan provides an in-depth analysis of the codebase, which features like reporting being made easy.
  • SCA Scans help us not only identify the vulnerabilities but also in helping fix them and in identifying if our application is using that part of the vulnerable library or not.
  • Veracode is very easy to integrate into the CI/CD pipelines (especially Jenkins)

Cons
OpenText
  • Reporting could be better
  • Can be an involved setup if your organization is not using common build tools
  • Users get spammed with a lot of email updates from the service
Read full review
Veracode
  • MPT Results should be segmented from DAST/SAST results.
  • MPT Reports should include more information on scoping and testing dates as generally provided by accounting firms conducting similar tests.
  • Vulnerability readouts should not be so hidden in the platform (It shouldn't take as many clicks to get to and view).

Since every firm needs to perform static code analysis on their applications, I believe Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect would work well for them (they also offer dynamic scanning, although I haven't used it myself). Different static analysis tools scan code in different ways, and Micro Focus Fortify WebInspect asks you to submit a complete build of the application along with debugging files. Depending on how your company builds its apps, this requirement may be simple or challenging.

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.

- 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.

Fortify Application Defender is a little more timely and upfront with a lot of their information on cyber security. we like what they provide and how they communicate with our users. I think they have a good understanding and practice in their field. they seem best suited for us and the best fit.

Mend.IO formerly WhiteSource software is a product we used prior to Vericode. It did not have all of the capabilities or depth of Vericode. Additionally, Whitesource did not offer automatic scanning as part of their product and there was no Certification program to speak of.

Return on Investment
OpenText
  • DevSecOps helped in reducing efforts
  • License cost was less
  • We could roll out double the count of applications with implementation of WebInspect
Read full review
Veracode
  • Developers are now realizing that security is there to help them, not just the people saying NO.
  • When setting up Veracode integrations we found that Devs really like their IDEs and Repos. It's like a personal choice. However, as a company, it was unwieldy without devoting people to Veracode integrations to have so many so we had to slime the available IDEs to 3 and Repos to 3, just to be able to set up and maintain the integrations.
  • Veracode is paying for itself (though through a different cost category). Our Development costs are going down and releases are getting quicker and more agile.
