We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and Rapid7 AppSpider based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Static Application Security Testing (SAST) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature for me is the Jenkins Plugin."
"What I like best about Checkmarx is that it has fewer false positives than other products, giving you better results."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that its number of false positives is less than the other security application platforms. Its ease of use is another good feature. It also supports most of the languages."
"We were using HPE Security Fortify to scan code for security vulnerabilities, but it can scan only after a successful compile. If the code has dependencies or build errors, the scan fails. With Checkmarx, pre-compile scanning is seamless. This allows us to scan more code."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all."
"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"I would say that it is stable, as I am not aware of any major issues."
"The entire solution is interactive and has a point-and-click user experience, which makes it easy to find items or drill down on information. You don't need specialized skills to use the product."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which is compliant with international standards."
"I like the ability the product has to detect vulnerabilities quickly, when it has been released in our environment, then displaying them to us."
"It is really accurate and the rate of false positives is very low."
"It scans all the components developed within a web application."
"Rapid7 AppSpider is good at managing different applications. It uses applets and generates reports to cover the PCA/GDPR compliance requirements."
"The initial deployment is very straightforward and simple. The product is stable if configured properly."
"They could work to improve the user interface. Right now, it really is lacking."
"The statistics module has a function that allows you to show some statistics, but I think it's limited. Maybe it needs more information."
"Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement."
"The validation process needs to be sped up."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I would like to see the rate of false positives reduced."
"C, C++, VB and T-SQL are not supported by this product. Although, C and C++ were advertised as being supported."
"The integration could improve by including, for example, DevSecOps."
"The enterprise interface is too simple. It should be more customizable."
"Implementing Rapid7 AppSpider requires scanning and self-identification mechanisms. You can add different types of authentication to each scan."
"The solution is too slow. It could take a full day to scan. Competitors are much faster."
"The product needs to be able to scale for large companies, like ours. We have millions of IP addresses that need to be scanned, and the scalability is not great."
"The tech support is responsive but issues remain unresolved."
"Integration could be better."
"This price of this solution is a little bit expensive."
"The performance of the solution could improve. When I compare the speed it is slower than others on the market. There are some tricks we use to help speed up the solution."
