We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and GitLab 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 shows in-depth code of where actual vulnerabilities are."
"The report function is the solution's greatest asset."
"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."
"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."
"The solution is scalable, but other solutions are better."
"Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application."
"Most valuable features include: ease of use, dashboard. interface and the ability to report."
"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 important feature is the entire process of versioning source code maintenance and easy deployment. It is a necessity for the CI/CD pipeline."
"The user interface is really good so that helps with huge teams who need to collaborate."
"Git hosting has an integration with ACD which is why we liked this solution in the first place."
"I have found the most valuable feature is security control. I also like the branching and cloning software."
"GitLab is very well-organized and easy to use. Also, it offers most features that customers need."
"The SaaS setup is impressive, and it has DAST solutioning."
"We're only using the basic features of GitLab and haven't used any advanced features. The solution works fine, so that's what we like about GitLab. We're party using GitHub and GitLab. We have a GitHub server, while we use GitLab locally or only within our team, and it works okay. We don't have any significant problems with the solution. We also found the straightforward setup, stability, and scalability of GitLab valuable."
"It is scalable."
"Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?"
"We would like to be able to run scans from our local system, rather than having to always connect to the product server, which is a longer process."
"One area for improvement in Checkmarx is pricing, as it's more expensive than other products."
"Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues."
"The validation process needs to be sped up."
"Checkmarx needs to improve the false positives and provide more accuracy in identifying vulnerabilities. It misses important vulnerabilities."
"The resolutions should also be provided. For example, if the user faces any problem regarding an installation due to the internal security policies of their company, there should be a resolution offered."
"Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"As a partner, sometimes it's difficult to get support. They have a really complicated procedure for their support."
"I would like more Agile features in the Premium version. The Premium version should have all Agile features that exist in the Ultimate version. IBM AOM has a complete Agile implementation, but in GitLab, you only have these features if you buy the Ultimate version. It would be good if we can use these in the Premium version."
"GitLab doesn't have AWS integration. It would be better to have integration with other container management environments beyond Kubernetes. It has very good integration with Kubernetes, but it doesn't have good integration with, for example, AWS, ETS, etc."
"I've noticed an area for improvement in GitLab, particularly needing to go through many steps to push the code to the repository. Resolving that issue would make the product better. My team quickly fixed it by writing a small script, then double-clicking or enabling the script to take care of the issue. However, that quick fix was from my team and not the GitLab team, so in the next release, if an automatic deployment feature would be available in GitLab, then that would be good because, in Visual Studio, you can do that with just one click of a button."
"GitLab would be improved with the addition of templates for deployment on local PCs."
"The solution could be faster."
"Based on what I know so far, its integration with Kubernetes is not so good. We have to develop many things to make it work. We have to acquire third-party components to work with Kubernetes."
"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."
