Pros
"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences.""Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable.""One of the most valuable features is it is flexible.""The only thing I like is that Checkmarx does not need to compile.""Checkmarx has helped us deliver more secure products. We are able to do static code analysis with the tool before shipping our code to production. When the integration is in the pipeline, this tool gives us early notifications on code fixes.""The most valuable features are the easy to understand interface, and it 's very user-friendly.""The reports are very good because they include details on the code level, and make suggestions about how to fix the problems.""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."

"When it is set up properly, it can do scanning on web apps with multiple engines automatically.""The entire solution is interactive and has a point-and-click user experience, which makes it easy to find items or drill down on information. You don't need specialized skills to use the product.""It scans all the components developed within a web application.""What I like most about AppSpider is that it's easy to use and its automated scan gives me all the details I need to know when it comes to vulnerabilities and their solutions.""Rapid7 AppSpider is good at managing different applications. It uses applets and generates reports to cover the PCA/GDPR compliance requirements.""It is really accurate and the rate of false positives is very low.""I like the ability the product has to detect vulnerabilities quickly, when it has been released in our environment, then displaying them to us.""I would say that it is stable, as I am not aware of any major issues."

Cons
"Its user interface could be improved and made more friendly.""It provides us with quite a handful of false positive issues. If Checkmarx could reduce this number, it would be a great tool to use.""We want to have a holistic view of the portfolio-level dashboard and not just an individual technical project level.""Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”.""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.""It is an expensive solution.""I would like to see the DAST solution in the future."

More Checkmarx One Cons →

"This price of this solution is a little bit expensive.""The enterprise interface is too simple. It should be more customizable.""The product needs to be able to scale for large companies, like ours. We have millions of IP addresses that need to be scanned, and the scalability is not great.""Support response times are slow and can be improved.""Implementing Rapid7 AppSpider requires scanning and self-identification mechanisms. You can add different types of authentication to each scan.""AppSpider has some problems with the RAM needed while scanning.""Integration could be better.""It needs better integration with mobile applications."

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)."
  • More Checkmarx One Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is expensive if you want to buy the Enterprise version that is able to scan multiple applications at once."
  • "The price is pretty fair."
  • "The licensing cost depends on the number of users."
  • "AppSpider is closed-source software and you need to acquire a license in order to use it."
  • "The price of Rapid7 AppSpider cost 9,000 annually but there is limited usage. Large companies are able to negotiate a better price or a better deal for the usage with the vendor."

    • Open-source security for infrastructure as code: Identify and fix insecure IaC configurations that put your application at risk.

    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."

    SPAs, APIs, mobile—the evolution of application technology is measured in months, not years. Is your web application security testing tool designed to keep up? AppSpider lets you collect all the information needed to test all the apps so that you aren’t left with gaping application risks.

    Our dynamic application security testing (DAST) solution crawls to the deepest, darkest corners of even the most modern and complex apps to effectively test for risk and get you the insight you need to remediate faster. With AppSpider on your side (or, rather, all of your sides), you’ll be able to scan all the apps today and always be ready for whatever comes next.
