Likelihood to Recommend
If you are going with SAST process or want to improve overall security posture then go for it like integrating it with post deployment steps. If you are more concerned about proactive controls better choose other options such as pee-commit hooks and CI security. Also choose other tools for DAST and API scans.

Other departments have set up Secure Code Warrior to use as a training tool, and for annual security tournaments. I take part in the tournaments and use the training opportunities presented. The interface is easy to use, making learning about secure code incredible fun (and therefore more memorable) - I've definitely learnt a lot through it.
