Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the Best Fix Location and the Payments option because you can save a lot of time trying to mitigate the configuration. Using these tools can save you a lot of time."
"The value you can get out of the speedy production may be worth the price tag."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution."
"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."
"The user interface is modern and nice to use."
"The main advantage of this solution is its centralized reporting functionality, which lets us track issues, then see and report on the priorities via a web portal."
"The main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use. It's easy to initiate scans and triage defects."
"The product is related to US usage with TLS contact fees, i.e. how more data center connections will help lower networking costs."
"We have found multiple issues in our embedded system network protocols, related to buffer overflow. We have reduced some of these issues."
"Whatever the test suit they give, it is intelligent. It will understand the protocol and it will generate the test cases based on the protocol: protocol, message sequence, protocol, message structure... Because of that, we can eliminate a lot of unwanted test cases, so we can execute the tests and complete them very quickly."
"Checkmarx has a slightly difficult compilation with the CI/CD pipeline."
"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."
"The plugins for the development environment have room for improvements such as for Android Studio and X code."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it seems outdated."
"We have received some feedback from our customers who are receiving a large number of false positives."
"The validation process needs to be sped up."
"The pricing can get a bit expensive, depending on the company's size."
"Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement."
"It does not support the complete protocol stack. There are some IoT protocols that are not supported and new protocols that are not supported."
"Codenomicon Defensics should be more advanced for the testing sector. It should be somewhat easy and flexible to install."
"Sometimes, when we are testing embedded devices, when we trigger the test cases, the target will crash immediately. It is very difficult for us to identify the root cause of the crash because they do not provide sophisticated tools on the target side. They cover only the client-side application... They do not have diagnostic tools for the target side. Rather, they have them but they are very minimal and not very helpful."
