"It does software composition analysis, discovering open source software weaknesses.""Veracode's most valuable aspect is continuous integration. It helps us integrate with other applications so that it can monitor the security process.""Provides consistent evaluation and results without huge fluctuations in false positives or negatives.""It is a good product for creating secure software. The static code analysis is pretty good and useful.""Code analysis tool to help identify code issues before entered into production.""The most valuable feature is the SAST capability and its integration into the Veracode pipelines.""I appreciate the integration provided by Veracode that seamlessly integrates with our CI/CD tools and allows us to integrate with IPA as well.""It has an easy-to-use interface."

More Veracode Pros →

Cons
"Contrast Security Protect needs to improve integration.""Protect's reporting GUI is very basic. To get all statuses from the APIs, we needed to write our own KPI dashboard to provide reports.""There's room for improvement in the initial setup."

More Contrast Security Protect Cons →

"The JIRA integration automation aspect of it could be improved significantly. We want to have a way to create tickets that are going to allow people to work through those flaws that we're finding. We don't want people to feel like they're missing out on something or that they're not following directions in the right way.""Their platform is not consistent. It needs a lot of user experience updates. It's slow performing, and they log you out of the system every 15 minutes, so using the platform is challenging from a developer's perspective because you always have to log in.""Veracode is a little costly. It's cost-effective for a large enterprise, but it may be too expensive for small businesses.""Veracode Static Analysis can improve the false positive. There are always improvements that can be done to the false positive rate. There are some things that get flagged that are not an issue. However, it is not a huge concern.""Some important languages are not supported.""The product has issues with scanning.""Scanning large amounts of code can be a time-consuming process and there is scope for improvement.""Veracode's ability to fix flaws is less sophisticated than that of its competitors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "Its complexity makes it quite expensive, but it’s all worth it, with all the engineering in the background."
  • "The pricing is pretty high."
  • "The worst part about the product is that it does not scale at all. Also, microservices apps will cost you a fortune."
  • "I think licensing needs to be changed or updated so that it works with adjustments. Pricing is expensive compared to the amount of scanning we perform."
  • "It's worth the value"
  • "Pricing seems fair for what is offered, and licensing has been no problem. All developers are able to get the access they need."
  • "It can be expensive to do this, so I would just make sure that you're getting the proper number of licenses. Do your analysis. Make sure you know exactly what it is you need, going in."
  • "The licensing and prices were upfront and clear. They stand behind everything that is said during the commercial phase and during the onboarding phase. Even the most irrelevant "that can be done" was delivered, no matter how important the request was."
