"One of the most valuable features is it is flexible."
"Both automatic and manual code review (CxQL) are valuable."
"Most valuable features include: ease of use, dashboard. interface and the ability to report."
"The features and technologies are very good. The flexibility and the roadmap have also been very good. They're at the forefront of delivering the additional capabilities that are required with cloud delivery, etc. Their ability to deliver what customers require and when they require is very important."
"There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."
"It's a well-known platform for doing dynamic application scanning."

"Meta data is always needed."
"Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”."
"The plugins for the development environment have room for improvements such as for Android Studio and X code."

"Licensing models and Swift language support are the aspects in which this product needs to improve. Swift is a new language, in which major customers require support for lower prices."
"We have often encountered scanning errors."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."
"Not sufficiently compatible with some of our systems."
"The initial setup was complex."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
