AkashSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Product Specialist at Meteonic Innovation Pvt. Ltd.
Training has improved secure coding skills and now empowers developers to fix issues faster
The kind of remediation that Codebashing trains developers on is outstanding, as it relates developers to real-life use cases. I would like to highlight the tournament feature of Codebashing as great, allowing us to organize competitions among skilled developers, which helps identify the best and most productive individuals in our organization. Codebashing's adaptive learning paths help us by addressing different use cases among our customers, as some follow OWASP Top 10 guidelines while others adhere to CWE, PCI DSS, or HIPAA. This means Codebashing helps us comply with these requirements so developers do not make mistakes when remediating issues found in the source code. I have a very clear example regarding the measurable impact Codebashing has had on our team's ability to identify security flaws early in development. One customer in the aviation sector had around 7.8 vulnerabilities in one thousand lines of code before implementing Checkmarx or Codebashing. After using Codebashing, we improved our mean time to remediation (MTTR) and reduced the defect count to 3.6 in one thousand lines of code.

Security training and detailed code insights have improved our shift-left practices but professional services coordination still needs refinement
There are certain ideas and certain vulnerabilities that you catch, and then it might not get through, and then we pull in under the license availability. There are certain licenses that assure the professional services. Though the team members get in and are sound in knowledge, there are few instances. This is a very corner scenario and I cannot generalize it, but in one specific scenario, it took three or four meetings with them to explain and bring the right person on board, clarify my view, and then they accepted at the very next point. It was kind of a little painful to bring the right person into the discussion. Otherwise, they usually send out developers into it with security knowledge, where I was looking for a security person who understands the core ideology of these vulnerabilities. That is one challenge I had with their professional service.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"From an academic point of view, Codebashing is a very good product because it is based on gamification. This is especially true if you don't have any idea about secure code training. It is one of the best tools in the world to learn secure coding. The product explains very well how vulnerabilities can be found and how programmers can develop securely."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with WhiteSource, which allows for open-source scanning."
"The installation phase of the tool is simple."
"The stability of the solution is excellent; it's very reliable."
"Codebashing has been supremely helpful in educating engineers and cybersecurity professionals within my team on how to practice secure coding."
"There's a lot of flexibility and there are a lot of configuration options."
"I can recommend Checkmarx, in my opinion, they are good; their product is good, it has minimal false positives, they are user-friendly, and they are not complex at all."
"Codebashing has positively impacted my organization by improving developers' security awareness and encouraging secure coding from the beginning, which can reduce the effort required to fix vulnerabilities."
"We are taking the pieces of advice that we get for Veracode fixes or remediation to develop better quality software."
"The features are so extensive, which is why they are ahead of the game, and the reason I continue to use this solution."
"The hands-on training has helped us to tackle modern threats by coding with vulnerabilities in mind from the beginning of a project. It has improved our process overall, and the number of vulnerabilities has been reduced."
"They put together a complete solution that has a number of components."
"I like the end-to-end learning experience. That also includes SAST. It has a low false positive rate."
"Our developers are more security-aware and are writing better code. The e-learning option allows our developers to dig deeper into the security issues. Topics such as sanitizing input, carefully configured logging output, and other typical sources of vulnerabilities."
"Veracode gives us a comprehensive analysis and reporting structure."
"Overall, they will get a lot of value from Veracode Security Labs."
 

Cons

"This solution is not freeware and more expensive than similar products."
"It isn't a very friendly tool for beginners. In our company, we have to take training courses to learn how to use the platform."
"We would like to be able to add our own lessons to the platform because right now we can't add our own information."
"The product's pricing could be more flexible."
"If customers would be able to define their own quizzes or exams, it would be very good. That is the only missing part that I see - customer based scenarios, examinations and quizzes."
"There are some lacking vulnerabilities in Codebashing platform itself, making it both advantageous and disadvantageous."
"The user interface could be updated and refreshed. It has the appearance of being very basic."
"It would be helpful if the solution included tests or exams that would allow you to study, for example, all Java vulnerabilities, and then afterward test your knowledge."
"It would be good if there were more assignment problems in the inventory, as well as more randomness in the coding examples."
"Veracode Security Labs should cover more than only the OWASP Top 10."
"Once we worked on IAST, but they were asking an upfront investment of 50k, which was a little higher and it will not be an easy choice for most organizations. It is quite expensive."
"I would like the team to make users like me aware of the new features sooner, so we can get the most from this product. Otherwise, there is no disadvantage."
"The only area of this solution that needs improvement is the pricing for startups."
"There could be better integration between the API and the pipeline systems."
"Developers frequently complain to me about the user interface and the difficulty in navigating the web site."
"There are two parts that I think should be improved. Both the web page and the report have the same issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licenses are renewed annually."
"This solution is not freeware and more expensive than similar products."
"As a developer, though I am unaware of the cost of the solution, the product is expensive since I faced some trouble upgrading to Python for Codebashing."
"I would prefer it if their pricing would be a bit cheaper. This is not my personal comment, this is the comment of the market."
"It's expensive. Know that going in. Your organization, your programmers, and your product will be better for it though."
"The pricing for qualified startups should only charge for Veracode Developer Training."
"They have a Community Edition of this product that can be used free of charge."
