Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The report function is the solution's greatest asset.""It allows for SAST scanning of uncompiled code. Further, it natively integrates with all key repos formats (Git, TFS, SVN, Perforce, etc).""The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all.""I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy.""The most valuable features are the easy to understand interface, and it 's very user-friendly.""Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution.""Both automatic and manual code review (CxQL) are valuable.""It's not an obstacle for developers. They can easily write their code and make it more secure with Checkmarx."

"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities.""We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities.""We use the tool for our websites. We have a vulnerable subdomain. The tool helps to scan it for vulnerabilities.""The solution is stable.""All the features are valuable to us as they offer cutting-edge scanning methods and address the latest issues with a contemporary approach. Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is highly stable. I rate it a nine out ten. Since the solution works on the Cloud, it's highly scalable. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. The setup of the solution is straightforward. The Return on Investment is substantial. I recommend the solution to all.""The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful.""It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on.""The initial setup is straightforward."

Cons
"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues.""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.""Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?""Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies.""Checkmarx needs to improve the false positives and provide more accuracy in identifying vulnerabilities. It misses important vulnerabilities.""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.""The product can be improved by continuing to expand the application languages and frameworks that can be scanned for vulnerabilities. This includes expanded coverage for mobile applications as well as open-source development tools.""The solution's user interface could be improved because it seems outdated."

More Checkmarx One Cons →

"The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly.""The dashboard could be more user-friendly.""The reporting has a very limited customization capability.""It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable.""The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not.""They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap.""The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers.""Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."

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 →

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It follows the same licensing scheme as Tenable.io and Tenable. sc."
  • "The price of the solution is reasonable compared to the competitors. The license cost is based on the number of users and the annual usage."
  • "Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is expensive for small businesses."
  • "The application is extremely affordable. There are no additional costs involved with licensing. We switched to Tenable.io Web Application Scanning from other solutions due to pricing."
  • "I rate the product's pricing a four out of ten."
