We performed a comparison between AWS WAF and Checkmarx One based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), F5, Microsoft and others in Web Application Firewall (WAF)."Its best feature is that it is on the cloud and does not require local hardware resources."
"The agility is great for us in terms of cloud services in general."
"The initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment took about ten minutes or less."
"I believe the most impressive features are integration and ease of use. The best part of AWS WAF is the cloud-native WAF integration. There aren't any hidden deployments or hidden infrastructure which we have to maintain to have AWS WAF. AWS maintains everything; all we have to do is click the button, and WAF will be activated. Any packet coming through the internet will be filtered through."
"The most valuable features of AWS WAF are its cloud-native and on-demand."
"Their technical support has been quite good."
"The simple configuration and the scalability have been most valuable. We are able to scale across all of our different AWS instances."
"The customized billing is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the SCA module and the code-checking module. Additionally, the solutions are explanatory and helpful."
"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"The most valuable feature is the simple user interface."
"We use the solution to validate the source code and do SAST and security analysis."
"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."
"The main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use. It's easy to initiate scans and triage defects."
"It shows in-depth code of where actual vulnerabilities are."
"The cost must be reduced."
"The product could be improved by expanding the weightage units of rules."
"AWS WAF should provide better protection to its users, and the security features need to improve."
"The cost management has room for improvement."
"One area for improvement in AWS WAF could be the limitation on the number of rules, particularly those from third-party sources, within the free tier."
"We haven't faced any problems with the solution."
"While the complexity of the installation can vary from one service to another, overall, I would say that it and the configuration and navigation are somewhat complex."
"In a future release of this solution, I would like to see additional management features to make things simpler."
"When we first ran it on a big project, there wasn't enough memory on the computer. It originally ran with eight gigabytes, and now it runs with 32. The software stopped at some point, and while I don't think it said it ran out of memory, it just said "stopped" and something else. We had to go to the logs and send them to the integrator, and eventually, they found a memory issue in the logs and recommended increasing the memory. We doubled it once, and it didn't seem enough. We doubled it again, and it helped."
"Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement."
"Its user interface could be improved and made more friendly."
"You can't use it in the continuous delivery pipeline because the scanning takes too much time."
"It provides us with quite a handful of false positive issues. If Checkmarx could reduce this number, it would be a great tool to use."
"The statistics module has a function that allows you to show some statistics, but I think it's limited. Maybe it needs more information."
"The solution sometimes reports a false auditable code or false positive."
"Licensing models and Swift language support are the aspects in which this product needs to improve. Swift is a new language, in which major customers require support for lower prices."
