Do you think Veracode delivers good value for the price?

Yes

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Veracode again?

Yes

It's well-suited where you want a best-in-class vendor for static and dynamic security testing who can also perform additional services such as penetration testing. It's also great if you need the ability to have consultations with Veracode experts to help understand flaws, either regularly or from time to time. If you need proactive account management to help ensure you are getting the best out of the Veracode application, again, you are in luck because this is an area in which Veracode shines. All of this functionality, flexibility, and the "human touch" does come at a price, so while I would say Veracode is excellent value for money, for very small or highly budget-conscious organisations, they may not be the best fit.
