We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and Rapid7 InsightAppSec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has good performance, it is able to compute in 10 to 15 minutes."
"The most valuable feature of Checkmarx is the user interface, it is very easy to use. We do not need to configure anything, we only have to scan to see the results."
"The reports are very good because they include details on the code level, and make suggestions about how to fix the problems."
"The value you can get out of the speedy production may be worth the price tag."
"The UI is very intuitive and simple to use."
"The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities. It's one of the key features they provide that's an excellent selling point. They're always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database."
"Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application."
"Checkmarx pinpoints the vulnerability in the code and also presents the flow of malicious input across the application."
"The solution is stable."
"It's very easy to use and user-friendly. It does the job."
"You have various attack modules, and you also have the Attack Replay feature for the attack sequence. You can reproduce an attack and see it. That is a very good feature I noticed in this solution. It helps developers as well."
"It is a very robust solution."
"The templates feature is very easy. You just choose the kind of attack you want on your web application, and you run it against that template and receive a report. It's great."
"It is very convenient to get reports from the tool, which offers high-level environmental statistics."
"We have seen measurable decrease in the mean time to respond to threats by 20 percent."
"It uses a signature-based method to check for problems with your code and will provide an alert if anything is found."
"I expect application security vendors to cover all aspects of application security, including SAST, DAST, and even mobile application security testing. And it would be much better if they provided an on-premises and cloud option for all these main application security features."
"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."
"We are trying to find out if there is a way to identify the run-time null values. I am analyzing different tools to check if there is any tool that supports run-time null value identification, but I don't think any of the tools in the market currently supports this feature. It would be helpful if Checkmarx can identify and throw an exception for a null value at the run time. It would make things a lot easier if there is a way for Checkmarx to identify nullable fields or hard-coded values in the code. The accessibility for customized Checkmarx rules is currently limited and should be improved. In addition, it would be great if Checkmarx can do static code and dynamic code validation. It does a lot of security-related scanning, and it should also do static code and dynamic code validation. Currently, for security-related validation, we are using Checkmarx, and for static code and dynamic code validation, we are using some other tools. We are spending money on different tools. We can pay a little extra money and use Checkmarx for everything."
"Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?"
"I think the CxAudit tool has room for improvement. At the beginning you can choose a scan of a project, but in any event the project must be scanned again (wasting time)."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model."
"The only concern I have with Rapid7 is that it does not provide enough information about vulnerabilities within AppSec."
"We'd like to see integrations with WAF solutions."
"The product’s pricing could be flexible."
"Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement in detecting phishing pages."
"I would like more details of what the product can do."
"When you add new projects for the same product, it either duplicates or replaces the scan configuration. If I run a scan for the same product with a different scan configuration, it should keep the previous scan configuration and not replace it with the new scan configuration. It should just add the new scan configuration. That would be helpful. They do keep the results as it is, but the scan configuration keeps changing. For example, I have set a scan configuration to a full scan, and next week, I want to run a new scan for the same product with some changes or new functionalities. I want to run a partial scan. Currently, if I change the scan configuration to partial, it changes the old one also to partial. That should be improved."
"They should add more features. I would like to see them do a little more on static analysis and also interactivity analysis. Currently, it does very basic static analysis. It could do a little more static analysis, which is something that would help. A lot more interactivity analysis should also be there. It should basically look at security during interactivity."
"The reporting is definitely an aspect of the solution that's in need of some work. We found that we'd try to use widgets, but often getting them to work for us wasn't very clear. They need to be more user friendly or offer better instructions."
