Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Whenever there was a new CVE, Check Point CloudGuard WAF used to block them.""Its main value and what we liked the most is its powerful AI.""The solution's strongest point is that you can connect everything to it, giving you a full view of what's connected.""It provides advanced analytics that gives each team time to prepare for any threat that might occur in the future.""It seamlessly protects through machine learning, giving us visibility into potential attacks and where they come from.""The solution offers continuous security monitoring and alerting, which can help organizations detect and respond to security incidents in real time.""The solution offers sophisticated security techniques with unique characteristics that can be particularly valuable for the financial sector, which is where we develop apps.""On the endpoint side, the most valuable feature is undoubtedly the cloud-based management capability, along with the ransomware protection, despite not encountering any instances so far."

"The most valuable feature is the simple user interface.""The SAST component was absolutely 100% stable.""We use the solution to validate the source code and do SAST and security analysis.""The best thing about Checkmarx is the amount of vulnerabilities that it can find compared to other free tools.""Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%.""The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all.""It has all the features we need.""I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."

Cons
"The trial version should be extended further so that QA test engineers can actually test the utilities in a real sense and can provide the maximum amount of feedback for enhancements.""You need to know exactly the system. You cannot have someone running the system if they don't have the knowledge to do so.""There are occasions when it interfaces with other systems, leading to a loss of visibility.""Deeper and more transparent integration between Cloud Application Security and analysis monitoring tools could be very valuable - although the solution currently offers integrations with third-party security tools.""It doesn't detect user activity like some of its competitors. It's not a vulnerability, but it's a legitimate activity that it doesn't detect. It only detects vulnerabilities or misconfigurations.""The documentation needs to be updated, more improved, and simplified... so that even a beginner can start with this application. It can make things more beginner-friendly.""A feature we'd like to see in the future is something that could protect against other attack vectors, with a focus on application protection.""I advise proactive threat detection intelligence offline, which can also help monitor and ensure system checks and compliances are in place."

More Check Point CloudGuard WAF Cons →

"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation.""The product's reporting feature could be better. The feature works well for developers, but reports generated to be shared with external parties are poor, it lacks the details one gets when viewing the results directly from the Checkmarx One platform.""Checkmarx has a slightly difficult compilation with the CI/CD pipeline.""I would like to see the DAST solution in the future.""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.""Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies.""Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model.""The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The tool's licensing costs are yearly and competitive."
  • "The pricing is competitive compared to other solutions on the market. So, the licensing cost is average."
  • "Check Point CloudGuard Application Security's pricing is not friendly."
  • "Considering all the benefits we've observed, we find the price to be satisfactory."
  • "It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
  • "I find the pricing to be reasonable."
  • "If the pricing for the Infinity platform covers everything, it would be more straightforward. I had a hard time selling it to our CEO as a former CFO because of the differentials. There are different deltas year to year over a five-year period. It is very difficult to explain. It would be easier to digest for our executives if there was a flatter scale"
  • "Check Point CloudGuard Application Security's pricing is comparable to other products in the market."
  • More Check Point CloudGuard WAF Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is the right price for quality delivery."
  • "I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."
  • "The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."
  • "The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."
  • "It is a good product but a little overpriced."
  • "The license has a vague language around P1 issues and the associated support. Make sure to review these in order to align them with your organizational policies."
  • "​Checkmarx is not a cheap scanning tool, but none of the security tools are cheap. Checkmarx is a powerful scanning tool, and it’s essential to have one of these products."
  • "We got a special offer for a 30% reduction for three years, after our first year. I think for a real source-code scanning tool, you have to add a lot of money for Open Source Analysis, and AppSec Coach (160 Euro per user per year)."
