Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities. It's one of the key features they provide that's an excellent selling point. They're always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database.""The best thing about Checkmarx is the amount of vulnerabilities that it can find compared to other free tools.""Vulnerability details is valuable.""It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security.""The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations.""The most valuable features are the easy to understand interface, and it 's very user-friendly.""The main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use. It's easy to initiate scans and triage defects."

More Checkmarx One Pros →

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution as it can handle new applications along with the analysis part.""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.""The most valuable is the developer experience and the extensibility of the overall ecosystem.""Dependency scanning is a valuable feature.""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."

Cons
"In terms of dashboarding, the solution could provide a little more flexibility in terms of creating more dashboards. It has some of its own dashboards that come out of the box. However, if I have to implement my own dashboards that are aligned to my organization's requirements, that dashboarding feature has limited capability right now.""One area for improvement in Checkmarx is pricing, as it's more expensive than other products.""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.""I really would like to integrate it as a service along with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform. It will then be easy to use it directly as a service.""They could work to improve the user interface. Right now, it really is lacking.""They can support the remaining languages that are currently not supported. They can also create a different model that can identify zero-day attacks. They can work on different patterns to identify and detect zero-day vulnerability attacks.""The product can be improved by continuing to expand the application languages and frameworks that can be scanned for vulnerabilities. This includes expanded coverage for mobile applications as well as open-source development tools.""The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."

More Checkmarx One Cons →

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

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)."
  • More Checkmarx One Pricing and Cost Advice →

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