Great platform to learn secure development
What do you like best about the product?
SecureFlag platform is one of the most effective and developer friendly solutions we've used for secure coding training. What sets it apart is the hands on learning approach that lets developers fix real vulnerabilities in realistic environments. So it's not just theory, it's practical and relevant with real word examples.
The platform supports a wide variety of programming languages and frameworks, which makes it easy to train diverse development teams without needing multiple tools. Gamification features like progress tracking, achievements, and leaderboards keep engagement high and encourage continuous learning. Tournaments are also fun and engaging.
From an administrative standpoint, it's simple to set up. Assigning modules, creating learning paths, and tracking progress is straightforward, and the reporting features give a clear view of how individuals and teams are progressing.

What do you dislike about the product?
While some learning paths are really well covered, some not so popular languages do not have a large selection of labs. The positive side is that content gets added frequently and more and more things
It would be helpful to have additional options for exporting reports and access to more detailed analytics.

After two years of use, SecureFlag has become an integral part of your team’s security training.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times, the tests and challenges have been stricter than what is covered in the learning modules, which can be frustrating for users.
Some users may find it challenging to bridge the gap between the training material and the expectations in the practical tests.
Some users may find it challenging to bridge the gap between the training material and the expectations in the practical tests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As software becomes increasingly complex and security threats evolve, it’s a challenge to ensure that all developers consistently apply secure coding practices and make informed decisions about information security. Traditional training methods are often too theoretical, lack engagement, or fail to provide a realistic environment for hands-on learning.
SecureFlag addresses this by providing an interactive, practical training platform where our developers can actively practice secure coding, face real-world security challenges, and receive immediate feedback in a dedicated environment.

What do you like best about the product?
ease of use
broad variety on programming languages and tech stacks

What do you dislike about the product?
That it is user bound licensed only.
For my type of demand to buy a "number of education labs / points / ... whatever" for an undefined number of users would better match my requirements

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Perform the basic secure coding education for new arrivals in the company on different tech-stacks
Secureflag is a great an engaging tool which really benefits every developer.
What do you like best about the product?
The hands-on labs, where an unsafe situation can be "re-lived" by the developer and then mediated.
What do you dislike about the product?
In seldom cases (usually code review labs) the criteria for a successful completion on the first try are hard to be met. But this is really very seldom.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secureflag helps us to achieve our goals that we have set to meet coding quality and security standards.
Great developer training platform
What do you like best about the product?
The Secure Flag platform has allowed us to easily deliver high quality secure development training to our engineers. The educational materials they deliver are first class and the hands-on experience it provides are way better than other solutions on the market we've tried.
As a regulated business in the financial services sector, the security of our applications is something we take very seriously, and we are confident that we are equipping our engineers with the best training to keep our customers and our business safe.
The onboarding process was easy, and the team we dealt with (shout out to Christian!) were super helpful - even now, still checking in to make sure everything is going well. Now that we've been enrolled with them for around 6 months I can say that we're still getting great service and care from our customer success manager Naveen, and our account manager Carla.

SecureFlag covers training for developers thoroughly . Real lab environment got developers hooked.
What do you like best about the product?
There are mainly three factors that made us decide in facor of SecureFlag:
ease of adoptions - sensibly grouped learning paths and easy administration/ implementaiton plus with our license developers can also use the platform in their free time; and they actually do and love to use it frequently.
interactivity - the actual labs separated SecureFlag from other contestants, developers solve real code in real virtual environments
quality of content and suppert - SecureFlag covers a wide range of frameworks and adds constantly new, relevant content; the customer sucess is really outstanding

What do you dislike about the product?
We only encountered two challenge or thins we would improve
administering trainingsplans. If there could be be some distinction between new and existing employees
The SDLC content can be more interactive
But on both sides customer success management is working actively and very supportive with us

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our developers are getting practical security knowledge and up-to-date information on a large variety of frameworks. It not only covers OWASP Top 10 but also operations technologies like Kubernetes, Cloud and new technologies like AI/ML. The real interaction and the interesting presentation make security training not just a compliance topic but an enganging activity.
