Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the simple user interface."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are difficult to pinpoint because of the way the functionalities and the features are intertwined, it's difficult to say which part of them I prefer most. You initiate the scan, you have a scan, you have the review set, and reporting, they all work together as one whole process. It's not like accounting software, where you have the different features, et cetera."
"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 solution has good performance, it is able to compute in 10 to 15 minutes."
"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."
"The solution allows us to create custom rules for code checks."
"Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"The solution scans web applications and supports APIs, which are the main features I really like."
"It offers very good accuracy. You can trust the results."
"The solution is stable."
"Enables automation of different tasks such as authorization testing."
"I am impressed with the tool's detailed analysis for penetration testing. AppScan can give only visibility, but it can't do the PT part. But the PortSwigger Burp Application can do both, and it gives much more visibility on the PT rating."
"Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."
"The solution is quite helpful for session management and configuration."
"For pentesting scenarios, this is the number one tool. It can capture the request, and there are so many functions that are very good for that. For example, a black box satellite host."
"One area for improvement in Checkmarx is pricing, as it's more expensive than other products."
"With Checkmarx, normally you need to use one tool for quality and you need to use another tool for security. I understand that Checkmarx is not in the parity space because it's totally different, but they could include some free features or recommendations too."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"The cost per user is high and should be reduced."
"Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software."
"The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode."
"Updating and debugging of queries is not very convenient."
"This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization."
"Mitigating the issues and low confluence issues needs some improvement. Implementing demand with the ChatGPT under the web solution is an additional feature I would like to see in the next release."
"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional can improve by having more features in the free version for beginners to try."
"The solution doesn't offer very good scalability."
"As with most automated security tools, too many false positives."
"There needs to be better documentation provided. Currently, we need to buy books, or we need to review online some use cases from other professionals who have been using the solution to find out their experience. It is not easy to find out how to properly do a security assessment."
"There is not much automation in the tool."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high."
"A lot of our interns find it difficult to get used to PortSwigger Burp's environment."
