We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and SonarCloud 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."I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"The solution has good performance, it is able to compute in 10 to 15 minutes."
"Vulnerability details is valuable."
"It has all the features we need."
"The identification of verification-related security vulnerabilities is really important and one of the key things. It also identifies vulnerabilities for any kind of third-party tool coming into the system or any third-party tools that you are using, which is very useful for avoiding random hacking."
"Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"It shows in-depth code of where actual vulnerabilities are."
"The reports from SonarCloud are very good."
"The most valuable features of SonarCloud are the ability to discover vulnerabilities, security weak points, security hotspots, and all the feedback that comes into the feature branch. You can deploy the code with the security, you can eliminate the problem at the developer level rather than identifying the problem in the productions."
"For what it is meant to do, it works pretty well."
"I'm not implementing the solutions. However, I've talked to the people who deploy the tools, and they are happy with how easy setting up SonarCloud is."
"The most valuable feature of SonarCloud is its overall performance."
"The solution provides continuous code analysis which has improved the quality of our code. It can raise alarms on vulnerabilities with immediate reports on the dashboard. Few things are false positives and we can customize the rules."
"The solution can be installed locally."
"Its dashboard provides a unified view of various code quality metrics, including code duplication, unit test coverage, and security hotspots."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I would like the product to include more debugging and developed tools. It needs to also add enhancements on the coding side."
"Checkmarx could improve the solution reports and false positives. The false positives could be reduced. For example, we have alerts that are tagged as vulnerabilities but when you drill down they are not."
"I would like to see the DAST solution in the future."
"We have received some feedback from our customers who are receiving a large number of false positives."
"The integration could improve by including, for example, DevSecOps."
"The interactive application security testing, or IAST, the interactive part where you're looking at an application that lives in a runtime environment on a server or virtual machine, needs improvement."
"This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization."
"CI/CD pipeline is part of a whole chain of design, development, and production, and it's becoming increasingly crucial to optimize the various tools across different stages. However, it's still a silo approach because the full integration is missing. This isn't just an issue with SonarCloud. It's a general problem with tooling."
"The solution needs to improve its customization and flexibility."
"We had some issues with the scanner."
"The documentation needs improvement on optimizing build time for seamless CI/CD integration with our Android apps."
"The reports could improve by providing more information. We are not able to use the reports in our operation until they are improved. Additionally, if the vendor provided more customization capabilities it would be a benefit."
"There's room for improvement in the configuration process, particularly during the initial setup phase."
"SonarCloud's UI needs enhancement."
"SonarCloud can improve the false positives. Sometimes the gates sometimes act a little weird. We then need to manually go and mark the false positive."
