Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The features I have found most valuable are the comprehensive threat prevention capabilities, automated policy management, and seamless integration with cloud environments.""The most effective CloudGuard feature for threat prevention is its web app protection.""It is a very scalable and stable solution.""After integrating AppSec with other applications, team members can easily work without fear of confidential information exposure.""User attitude reviews help us keep all online users compliant with company regulations and policies.""The solution's strongest point is that you can connect everything to it, giving you a full view of what's connected.""We have not had any incidents. We could realize its benefits immediately. We watched and monitored the traffic, and it was amazing to see the results.""On the endpoint side, the most valuable feature is undoubtedly the cloud-based management capability, along with the ransomware protection, despite not encountering any instances so far."

More Check Point CloudGuard WAF Pros →

"The main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete.""The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the automation and information that it provides in the reports.""The most valuable feature for me is the Jenkins Plugin.""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.""It shows in-depth code of where actual vulnerabilities are.""The user interface is modern and nice to use.""The main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use.

Cons
"The documentation of each of the tools that they offer needs to be better.""The trial version should be extended further so that QA test engineers can actually test the utilities in a real sense and can provide the maximum amount of feedback for enhancements.""For the next release, I would suggest considering features like enhanced threat intelligence integration.""Improving the process for handling licensing renewals would be a welcome enhancement.""Deeper and more transparent integration between Cloud Application Security and analysis monitoring tools could be very valuable - although the solution currently offers integrations with third-party security tools.""I advise proactive threat detection intelligence offline, which can also help monitor and ensure system checks and compliances are in place.""I have encountered issues with Check Point CloudGuard Application Security's technical support. It also has missing configuration features.""One of the big problems we found in Check Point, in general, is the support."

More Check Point CloudGuard WAF Cons →

"I expect application security vendors to cover all aspects of application security, including SAST, DAST, and even mobile application security testing. And it would be much better if they provided an on-premises and cloud option for all these main application security features.""The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode.""Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement.""Creating and editing custom rules in Checkmarx is difficult because the license for the editor comes at an additional cost, and there is a steep learning curve.""Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation.""This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization.""The plugins for the development environment have room for improvements such as for Android Studio and X code.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The tool's licensing costs are yearly and competitive."
  • "The pricing is competitive compared to other solutions on the market. So, the licensing cost is average."
  • "Check Point CloudGuard Application Security's pricing is not friendly."
  • "Considering all the benefits we've observed, we find the price to be satisfactory."
  • "It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
  • "I find the pricing to be reasonable."
  • "If the pricing for the Infinity platform covers everything, it would be more straightforward. I had a hard time selling it to our CEO as a former CFO because of the differentials. There are different deltas year to year over a five-year period. It is very difficult to explain. It would be easier to digest for our executives if there was a flatter scale"
  • "Check Point CloudGuard Application Security's pricing is comparable to other products in the market."
  • More Check Point CloudGuard WAF 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)."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Checkmarx stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to enable developers to secure their code with a single management dashboard and its high-speed scanning abilities.

    PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A CEO at a tech services company writes, “The most valuable features are the easy-to-understand interface, and it’s very user-friendly. We spend some time tuning to start scanning a new project, which is only a few clicks. A few simple tunes for custom rules and we can start our scan. We can do the work quickly and we don't need to compile the source code because Checkmarx does the work without compiling the project. The scanning is very quick. It's about 20,000 lines per hour, which is a good speed for scanning.”

    A director at a tech services company notes, “The features and technologies are very good. The flexibility and the roadmap have also been very good. They're at the forefront of delivering the additional capabilities that are required with cloud delivery, etc. Their ability to deliver what customers require and when they require is very important.”

    A senior manager at a manufacturing company writes, “The identification of verification-related security vulnerabilities is really important and one of the key things. It also identifies vulnerabilities for any kind of third-party tool coming into the system or any third-party tools that you are using, which is very useful for avoiding random hacking."
