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."
"The most valuable feature of Checkmarx is the user interface, it is very easy to use. We do not need to configure anything, we only have to scan to see the results."
"The main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use. It's easy to initiate scans and triage defects."
"The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities. It's one of the key features they provide that's an excellent selling point. They're always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database."
"Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution."
"The most valuable features are the easy to understand interface, and it 's very user-friendly."
"It is a stable product."
"The solution is scalable, but other solutions are better."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it's cloud-based, and we don't have to manage an on-premises server to use it."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it can support you for most of the road map and it can automate some tasks which works really well with collaboration with the teams. They are really interested in how they organize the history of the code itself which is good."
"We are finding GitHub is very stable."
"GitHub is pure or open-source; you can access it anywhere. You can have a lot of collateral information. You can make the changes and do the reviews from one place."
"Our code is secure."
"The code versioning is excellent, and having a detailed log, including every change made to the code by every developer, is invaluable. It makes it so that if there is a bug or problem in the product channel, we can find exactly where it happened and how to fix it."
"The most valuable features of GitHub are the ease of integration into Microsoft Azure DevOps. The process that you need to deploy into Microsoft Azure becomes fairly simple and the templates are already available, a lot of the engineers find it easier to use."
"I like the CI/CD features."
"The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode."
"Integration into the SDLC (i.e. support for last version of SonarQube) could be added."
"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"Micro-services need to be included in the next release."
"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."
"We have received some feedback from our customers who are receiving a large number of false positives."
"Checkmarx could improve by reducing the price."
"Though I haven't done much research, GitHub lacks in providing more functions like GitLab."
"The onboarding process could be simplified."
"Github needs more storage."
"GitHub could expand the limits of the free version."
"Scalability is an area with a shortcoming, because of which it has room for improvement."
"The descriptions within Github could be more user-friendly to show the trees of Gitflow."
"If something has to be moved into approvals, and if they don't approve it in a few hours, then they should move the approval request to some other user, or they should have a way to escalate it."
"The GitHub repository needs an upgraded user interface and overall UI improvements."
