Veracode vs. OpenText
Choose Veracode Over OpenText
OpenText Fortify’s resource-intensive on-premises solution makes it less suitable for modern, agile development environments, causing slower development processes, higher administration and maintenance efforts that reduce developer productivity.

Unrivaled application security that delivers
| Capabilities | Veracode | OpenText |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise security | Designed for enterprise class security with full AppSec testing suite with best-in-class scanning engines to centralized policy, enforcement and reporting. | On premises product is challenging to maintain and deploy; on demand product is not powerful enough for enterprises. |
| false positive rates & accuracy | Industry-leading low false positive rate, < 1.1% out-of-the-box, significantly reducing developer noise and security team workload. | Cited for high false positive rates by many users, requiring considerable effort and manual query tuning to achieve an acceptable noise level. |
| Software Supply Chain Defense | Proactive security with Package Firewall that blocks untrusted, malicious, or vulnerable open-source packages before they enter the development environment. | Traditional, reactive SCA that primarily focuses on alerting on risk after it’s already in the codebase, creating security debt. Lacks a proactive Package Firewall. |
| Dynamic Analysis (DAST) & coverage | Rapid and accurate DAST that provides broad coverage, including modern APIs and microservices, delivering high confidence in exploitable risks quickly. | DAST is frequently described as slower and less comprehensive by users, potentially missing critical runtime and modern application vulnerabilities. |
| AI- Remediation | Veracode Fix provides AI-generated, high-confidence remediation guidance trained on a proprietary dataset. | AI features (AppSec Aviator) have been introduced, but lag behind competitors in real-time risk detection and do not offer a fully AI-generated fix/coding assistant. |
| ASPM & governance | Veracode Risk Manager delivers native Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) for unified, prioritized risk view with automated policy enforcement and compliance mapping. | Centralized reporting (SSC) exists but lacks the unified ASPM correlation across external signals and limited policy enforcement granularity, making compliance tracking difficult. |

“The static scan is the feature that we use the most, as it gives us insight into our source code. We have it integrated with our continuous integration, continuous delivery system, so we can get insight quickly.”
