We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and Fortify WebInspect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DevSecOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the SCA module and the code-checking module. Additionally, the solutions are explanatory and helpful."
"The main advantage of this solution is its centralized reporting functionality, which lets us track issues, then see and report on the priorities via a web portal."
"The main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use. It's easy to initiate scans and triage defects."
"The SAST component was absolutely 100% stable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that its number of false positives is less than the other security application platforms. Its ease of use is another good feature. It also supports most of the languages."
"The solution improved the efficiency of our code security reviews. It helps tremendously because it finds hundreds of potential problems sometimes."
"The most valuable feature is that it actually identifies the different criteria you can set to meet whatever standards you're trying to get your system accredited for."
"We were using HPE Security Fortify to scan code for security vulnerabilities, but it can scan only after a successful compile. If the code has dependencies or build errors, the scan fails. With Checkmarx, pre-compile scanning is seamless. This allows us to scan more code."
"Guided Scan option allows us to easily scan and share reports."
"There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."
"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
"The solution's technical support was very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to make our customers more secure."
"Technical support has been good."
"The accuracy of its scans is great."
"Fortify WebInspect is a scalable solution, it is good for a lot of applications."
"The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode."
"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."
"If it is a very large code base then we have a problem where we cannot scan it."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it seems outdated."
"Meta data is always needed."
"Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"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 often encountered scanning errors."
"I'm not sure licensing, but on the pricing, it's a bit costly. It's a bit overpriced. Though it is an enterprise tool, there are other tools also with similar functionalities."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."
"Creating reports is very slow and it is something that should be improved."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
