Likelihood to Recommend Upsource is the best review tool we've found but it still has some flaws. Notably, it makes reviewing small and quick changes less convenient than they need to be, and diff viewing (especially collaboratively) can be tedious.
It does handle larger, iterative reviews well. Especially when using a feature branch, Upsource will track that branch and automatically add all commits to the review. You can then review the branch as a whole, or look at a subset of diffs.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Pros Automatically watch git repositories Track all commits in a branch in a single commit Integrates with build server to report build status of specific commits when looking at reviews/commits Integrates with JetBrains IDEs Ability for reviewers to add comments inline and require comments to be resolved before approval Built in diff viewer, both stacked and side-by-side Read full review 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) Read full review Cons Creating and closing reviews isn't as quick as it could be. You must create a review, assign reviewers, approve and close. I wish there would be a quick review-approve-close for a commit where the change is simple and doesn't require multiple review iterations. Web based interface can be clunky, especially when looking at big diffs side-by-side JetBrains IDE integration is somehow less convenient than going using it in browser. Read full review 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). Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.
Read full review Usability - 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.

Read full review Performance 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.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Compared to the other tools we evaluated, Upsource was the only tool that allowed distinct reviews without needing explicit pull requests while still being able to go in-depth when required. The diff viewer is serviceable and better than the alternatives, as well, especially the side-by-side viewer.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Scalability It meets our needs.
Read full review Return on Investment Increased our code base quality Reduced the number of bugs found after deployment (bugs are found in review and fixed before deploy) Improved knowledge sharing Read full review 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. Read full review ScreenShots
