Find out in this report how the two Application Security Testing (AST) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The administration in Checkmarx is very good."
"The product's most valuable feature is static code and supply chain effect analysis. It provides a lot of visibility."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"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."
"We use the solution to validate the source code and do SAST and security analysis."
"The value you can get out of the speedy production may be worth the price tag."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"Most valuable features include: ease of use, dashboard. interface and the ability to report."
"The security analysis features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It's very stable."
"The features I find most valuable is that our entire company can publish the analysis results into our central space."
"The solution has improved our code quality and security very well."
"The product has deeper scanning capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is that there were not a whole lot of false positives, at least on the codebases that I looked at."
"The solution has helped to increase staff productivity and improved our work significantly by approximately 20 percent."
"The product has been beneficial in logging functionality, allowing me to categorize vulnerabilities based on severity. This aids in providing updated reports on subsequent scans."
"Its user interface could be improved and made more friendly."
"I would like the product to include more debugging and developed tools. It needs to also add enhancements on the coding side."
"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."
"Micro-services need to be included in the next release."
"Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement."
"We want to have a holistic view of the portfolio-level dashboard and not just an individual technical project level."
"Meta data is always needed."
"Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”."
"We actually specified several checkers, but we found some checkers had a higher false positive rate. I think this is a problem. Because we have to waste some time is really the issue because the issue is not an issue. I mean, the tool pauses or an issue, but the same issue is the filter now.Some check checkers cannot find some issues, but sometimes they find issues that are not relevant, right, that are not really issues. Some customisation mechanism can be added in the next release so that we can define our Checker. The Modelling feature provided by Coverity helps in finding more information for potential issues but it is not mature enough, it should be mature. The fast testing feature for security testing campaign can be added as well. So if you correctly integrate it with the training team, maybe you can help us to find more potential issues."
"Coverity is far from perfection, and I'm not 100 percent sure it's helping me find what I need to find in my role. We need exactly what we are looking for, i.e. security errors and vulnerabilities. It doesn't seem to be reporting while we are changing our code."
"The tool needs to improve its reporting."
"Ideally, it would have a user-based license that does not have a restriction in the number of lines of code."
"It should be easier to specify your own validation routines and sanitation routines."
"There should be additional IDE support."
"We'd like it to be faster."
"The solution is a bit complex to use in comparison to other products that have many plugins."
