Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application.""The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the SCA module and the code-checking module. Additionally, the solutions are explanatory and helpful.""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.""It allows for SAST scanning of uncompiled code. Further, it natively integrates with all key repos formats (Git, TFS, SVN, Perforce, etc).""We use the solution for dynamic application testing.""The most valuable feature is the simple user interface.""The process of remediating software security vulnerabilities can now be performed (ongoing) as portions of the application are being built in advance of being compiled.""One of the most valuable features is it is flexible."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution as it can handle new applications along with the analysis part.""The product's most valuable features are security scan, dependency scan, and cost-effectiveness.""It ensures user passwords or sensitive information are not accidentally exposed in code or reports.""Dependency scanning is a valuable feature.""The most valuable is the developer experience and the extensibility of the overall ecosystem.""GitHub provides advanced security, which is why the customers choose this tool; it allows them to rely solely on GitHub as one platform for everything they need."

Cons
"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).""Creating and editing custom rules in Checkmarx is difficult because the license for the editor comes at an additional cost, and there is a steep learning curve.""Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement.""The pricing can get a bit expensive, depending on the company's size.""The resolutions should also be provided. For example, if the user faces any problem regarding an installation due to the internal security policies of their company, there should be a resolution offered.""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.""We want to have a holistic view of the portfolio-level dashboard and not just an individual technical project level."

More Checkmarx One Cons →

"The report limitations are the main issue.""The customizations are a little bit difficult.""There could be a centralized dashboard to view reports of all the projects on one platform.""The deployment part of the product is an area of concern that needs to be made easier from an improvement perspective.""A more refined approach, categorizing and emphasizing specific vulnerabilities, would be beneficial.""There could be DST features included in the product."

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)."

  • "The current licensing model, which relies on active commitments, poses challenges, particularly in predicting and managing growth."
  • "The solution is expensive."
