We do not need to configure anything, we only have to scan to see the results."
"We use the solution for dynamic application testing."
"We use the solution to validate the source code and do SAST and security analysis."
"It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution."
"Overall, the ability to find vulnerabilities in the code is better than the tool that we were using before."

"The solution has excellent real-time capabilities."
"The product gives a few false positives. We get 99 percent true positives."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"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 be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."
"I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved."
"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."
"The product's reporting feature could be better. The feature works well for developers, but reports generated to be shared with external parties are poor, it lacks the details one gets when viewing the results directly from the Checkmarx One platform."
"Contrast Security Protect needs to improve integration."
"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."
