"The only thing I like is that Checkmarx does not need to compile."
"The user interface is excellent. It's very user friendly."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."
"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."
"Most valuable features include: ease of use, dashboard. interface and the ability to report."
"The solution has excellent real-time capabilities."
"The product gives a few false positives. We get 99 percent true positives."
"Protect provides us with more in-depth visibility into ongoing attacks."
"I really would like to integrate it as a service along with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform. It will then be easy to use it directly as a service."
"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."
"There is nothing particular that I don't like in this solution. It can have more integrations, but the integrations that we would like are in the roadmap anyway, and they just need to deliver the roadmap. What I like about the roadmap is that it is going where it needs to go. If I were to look at the roadmap, there is nothing that is jumping out there that says to me, "Yeah. I'd like something else on the roadmap." What they're looking to deliver is what I would expect and forecast them to deliver."
"Checkmarx needs to improve the false positives and provide more accuracy in identifying vulnerabilities. It misses important vulnerabilities."
"The plugins for the development environment have room for improvements such as for Android Studio and X code."
"The integration could improve by including, for example, DevSecOps."
"The statistics module has a function that allows you to show some statistics, but I think it's limited. Maybe it needs more information."
"Micro-services need to be included in the next release."
"There's room for improvement in the initial setup."
"Protect's reporting GUI is very basic. To get all statuses from the APIs, we needed to write our own KPI dashboard to provide reports."
"Contrast Security Protect needs to improve integration."
