We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"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 main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete."
"The most valuable feature is the application tracking reporting."
"From my point of view, it is the best product on the market."
"We use the solution to validate the source code and do SAST and security analysis."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"The way they do the research and they keep their profile up to date is great. They identify vulnerabilities and update them immediately."
"Once I capture the proxy, I'm able to transfer across. All the requested information is there. I can send across the request to what we call a repeater, where I get to ready the payload that I send to the application. Put in malicious content and then see if it's responding to it."
"Some of the extensions, available using Burp Extender, are also very good and we have found issues by using them."
"You can download different plugins if you don't have them in the standard edition."
"I have found this solution has more plugins than other competitors which is a benefit. You are able to attach different plugins to the security scan to add features. For example, you can check to see if there are any payment systems that exist on a server, or username and password brute force analysis."
"The feature that we have found most valuable is that it comes with pre-set configurations. They have a set of predefined options where you can pick one and start scanning. We also have the option of creating our own configurations, like how often do the applications need to be scanned."
"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."
"The intercepting feature is the most valuable."
"The plugins for the development environment have room for improvements such as for Android Studio and X code."
"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."
"C, C++, VB and T-SQL are not supported by this product. Although, C and C++ were advertised as being supported."
"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."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved."
"Some of the descriptions were found to be missing or were not as elaborate as compared to other descriptions. Although, they could be found across various standard sources but it would save a lot of time for developers, if this was fixed."
"We have received some feedback from our customers who are receiving a large number of false positives."
"The solution doesn't offer very good scalability."
"It would be good if the solution could give us more details about what exactly is defective."
"The price could be better. The rest is fine."
"The biggest drawback is reporting. It's not so good. I can download them, but they're not so informative."
"The tool is very expensive."
"It should provide a better way to integrate with Jenkins so that DAST (dynamic application security testing) can be automated."
"The biggest improvement that I would like to see from PortSwigger that today many people see as an issue in their testing. There might be a feature which might be desired."
"The Initial setup is a bit complex."
