Secure Code Warrior Reviews & Product Details

I like that Secure code warrior offers intensive and interactive, gamified training modules to our engineers. This helps to expand our secure coding practices as a team, and makes it easier to remediate and identify potential security flaws present in our codebase. Secure code warrior provides code scanning functionalities, integrated into our continuous integration and continuous development (CI/CD) framework, and providing quick, real-time code scanning remediation guidance of our software development workflow.

Implementing and using Secure code warrior is highly resource intensive. Since it requires a significant amount of dedicated time and effort from our engineers and software security teams. Also, I must mention that secure code warrior is unable to completely detect all security vulnerability, especially those related to specific programming languages and their development frameworks.

The ability to be hands-on to learn secure coding as a software developer/programmer. As a beginner in secure coding, I can refer to the resources section (videos). As an intermediate level, I can play with challenges on the training or courses ground. As an expert, I can take assessments or participate in timed-tournaments. SCW is for every skill level of a developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUI sometimes shapes out when operating it at high loads (prolonged period of use). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is extremely easy to pick up Secure Code Warrior and it's fun too. It feels like you're playing and game and before you know it, you're learning how to write secure code! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Secure Code Warrior was not a good fit for Software Testers. However, this changed with Missions. Everyone I have spoken to, be it Developers or QAs, enjoys playing SCW Missions. I feel the platform could be improved further with Missions that were tailored toward black box penetration testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Platform was very easy to use, especially for onboarding. Also, it supports a breadth of languages which makes it easy to design security education programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike. As an education platform, it's tricky to get the depth of content. As a platform, it's great for starters and engineers new to a programming language to learn the best practices of a particular framework, however, it's difficult to keep the engagement once the developer has reached a certain level of maturity.

The best part of Secure Code Warrior is how the UI is fun and interactive, which helps keep developers interested and focused on the tasks at hand, and also helps make them want to take part on their own accord. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to dislike. Sometimes the hints are less helpful than they could be as they will take away an answer rather than give more details about it, however, this is something that we raised with the Secure Code Warrior team and they took this on board and have already started working on better ways to represent the hints to give the developers the best experience when completing their courses.

The gamification aspect, across a lot of computer languages, some vendors only offer it in one language/platform. During a tournament, developers/programmers can also compete with others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning Needs Analysis at an individual even team level needs further development. Some activities do not count towards achieving higher maturity, e.g. from Beginner to Security Aware, when it clearly should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can choose from multiple programming languages. And moreover, I love the competition style that gets me motivated to complete the tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think they could have video tutorials explaining how to write secure code instead of just reading the tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Secure Code Warrior provides concrete examples of vulnerable code. It is often difficult to find straightforward examples of vulnerable code in applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it is unclear what the path to exploitation was even after being presented with the suggested fix for the vulnerability. I would love to see a video or written explanation of how an attacker might exploit the vulnerability in the provided example and how the approved patch fixes the vulnerability.

The training videos were reasonable. The examples were clear. The assessments were nothing like them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The assessment code was unintelligible at best. No comments, no context as to what a function or class is supposed to be doing. Constrained to a terrible online IDE with no quality-of-life functionality that would be used to review code (e.g. no control-click to take you to a class or variable definition) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform makes available interactive activities for developers so they can immediately test what they see during the course. The support of the SCW team is precious. They're always available for advice and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular. It would be fine to have more flexibility in the management of the teams and the languages assigned to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
