We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) 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."The most valuable features of Checkmarx are difficult to pinpoint because of the way the functionalities and the features are intertwined, it's difficult to say which part of them I prefer most. You initiate the scan, you have a scan, you have the review set, and reporting, they all work together as one whole process. It's not like accounting software, where you have the different features, et cetera."
"Both automatic and manual code review (CxQL) are valuable."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the SCA module and the code-checking module. Additionally, the solutions are explanatory and helpful."
"We use the solution to validate the source code and do SAST and security analysis."
"The solution allows us to create custom rules for code checks."
"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."
"The user interface is excellent. It's very user friendly."
"It shows in-depth code of where actual vulnerabilities are."
"BIG-IP LTM is completely stable, and its performance is good."
"The F5 interface is easy to use."
"Secure and scalable traffic management solution for applications. Good for bigger environments."
"The BIG-IP’s interface is more intuitive than other GUIs. It is well structured, not overloaded, and does not have too many gimmicks."
"It is stable."
"The most valuable feature I found is iRules."
"It is very intuitive, easy to deploy, and manage."
"The most valuable feature is being able to manipulate the iRules, so you can send traffic to different avenues."
"Checkmarx could improve by reducing the price."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model."
"Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”."
"Checkmarx could improve the solution reports and false positives. The false positives could be reduced. For example, we have alerts that are tagged as vulnerabilities but when you drill down they are not."
"Updating and debugging of queries is not very convenient."
"You can't use it in the continuous delivery pipeline because the scanning takes too much time."
"The cost per user is high and should be reduced."
"Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement."
"The initial setup can take a long time."
"F5 could improve the rule-setting capabilities in the GUI, and they need to simplify web management. For example, the menus in the Citrix GUI are easier to navigate, with a clean structure and layout."
"In terms of pricing, it could be more competitive."
"While the licensing is good through the AWS Marketplace, it is more expensive than what you could buy yourself."
"I would like F5 to incorporate the ability to create your own custom roles and customised permissions within the product set. I have seen many customers wanting to give a certain level of access for the purposes of out-of-hours servicing to out-of-hours staff or teams that fulfill an operations type role."
"Cloud native integration should be provided."
"The synchronization does works fairly well. However, if I were to make changes, I would make it easier to start the sync process."
"F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager could improve by having an FNI feature for a single source to multi-domain load balancing."
