Our finance team handled the setup so I don't have details.
View full review »The deployment depended upon how complex the application was. If it was a very, very complex, customized application, then it would have to be instrumented by a DevOps professional that we provided. If it was a very simplistic or basic vanilla-type framework, as far as the application's concerned, then the customer could do it easily themselves.

Prakash Ganesan
Engineer senior at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees
We found the initial setup of this solution to be okay, but it is very reliant on server capacity.
I rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. When we integrated it, we built a pipeline, which was done by a separate DevOps team. Checkmarx is installed at the enterprise level, and we have a Checkmarx Dev team that runs the solution.
View full review »Deploying Checkmarx isn't straightforward. It is a little complex, so it requires somebody well-versed in DevOps and Linux administration or Windows administration to do the setup.

The initial setup was complex. There is a curve of learning, and you also need technical knowledge on reviewing the results of Checkmarx’s work.

Security Consultant at IBM Thailand
The setup is straightforward. Our analysts had a training for half a day. They were able to use the product form the next day. We just need to purchase a license. Since it is a SaaS-based solution, no additional deployment is required. We only need to enable the firewall rule.

The deployment is easy, but it may take around half an hour or even more because the software is huge. Also, good hardware performance is required, such as big memory and disk space.
It requires a lot of disk space and good hardware performance, and the speed is slow.

We did not have any trouble with the initial setup. Our deployment was done within a couple of hours. The easiest thing to do is create a virtual machine and deploy it.

I installed it. It's straightforward to install, but I had several issues with the installation. I don't know if it was with my environment or not. If it works properly, it's a simple install, but in my example, it did not work right off the bat. There was some troubleshooting that had to go on, which was a little frustrating.
It took weeks. It required back and forth communication with support for a couple of days, but I wasn't actively working on it for days. I would run into a bug, send the log file, and go back and forth. It wasn't anything crazy, but it was a little frustrating. It should just work out of the box. It should be pretty straightforward where you just click the installer and go, but it wasn't.

Don Robbins
Software Configuration Manager at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
The initial setup of Checkmarx is straightforward. We did a bunch of things that shot ourselves in the foot that we weren't expecting. We were initially trying to put Checkmarx in the cloud. We were even putting Checkmarx into an Azure system until we found out that Azure, with the Microsoft SQL engine, does not support what Checkmarx requires.
The Azure implementation of SQL does not allow the USE statement. Extremely odd. Maybe Microsoft figured out if you can't use USE, that means you have to have more databases and so they can charge more. Microsoft Oracle and IBM have been pulling that crap for years. They're making a lot of money.
It probably took us a couple of months to go through all of the issues, basically trying to find a home for SQL. We ended up creating a Microsoft SQL server in Amazon.

Practice Head - IT Risk & Security Management Services at Suma Soft Private Limited
The initial setup is pretty simple and straightforward, and it does not take more than fifteen minutes, maximum. The entire deployment was completed in not more than half an hour.
Not many people are required for deployment or maintenance. We have not done much since the original installation. When a new version comes in, any member of the security team can update the solution. In that way, a single person can maintain it. Within my team, it is a Senior Security Analyst who maintains this solution for us.

I did not handle the deployment directly. We have a team that manages the tool. I'm not aware of how many people are needed to maintain and deploy the solution.
View full review »We didn't like how long they took to implement the product. The installation was not intuitive. We were constantly having meetings and installation additional things.
The implementation process should improve.
View full review »For our purposes, the initial set up was not complex. It was fairly easy to plug the solution into our build processes and pipelines. We haven't had any issues with configurations or anything like that. It's been very straightforward.
The deployment is very fast and only takes about 15 minutes or so.
We manage the solution ourselves. However, if I personally want to access it, I do need to contact specific team members. Only specific individuals have access. It's not accessible to everyone in the organization.

reviewer1479747
Senior Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
The initial setup was easy. Our project was quite big, and it took a bit longer. It took almost six hours. We could not do it as CI/CD pipeline because the pipeline expects a response in a short span of time, which was a challenge for us. We are now doing the Checkmarx review manually. We first run the code analysis, and, after the code analysis is over, we go for the pipeline. This is an overhead for us.
It would be helpful if they can improve the speed of the analysis rate. We also need to find out from our side if there is a way to increase the wait time of the CI/CD pipeline and modify the timeout limit. It would then take 30 minutes to one hour rather than five or six hours. We should be able to adjust the timeout time, change the CI/CD settings, and go ahead with the integrated process. Currently, we cannot have an integrated system, and we also have to move from one script to the next script manually.
View full review »The tool's setup is very straightforward and I would rate it a ten out of ten. The product's deployment took one to two months to complete. We required the technical and development team which consisted of four to five people to handle the deployment.

The initial setup is easy and straightforward. It's not complex.
We don't have to handle any maintenance. It's my understanding that Checkmarx handles it.
View full review »The basic installation is easy for us but in our case, we had some additional configuration that had to be done to access our documents on the server. We were not able to complete it without help from Checkmarx because there are a lot of configuration options, and we had to make manual changes to the database as well.

It took about two to three days to deploy a basic portion of the solution. However, it takes more time in terms of configuring and fine-tuning the product so that it's useable. I would say it took us about two to three weeks of configuring before we could start our initial scans.

The initial setup is pretty simple, it's no problem to start using Checkmarx. It's a very good approach if you compare it with competitors.
It only takes a few hours to tune your Checkmarx solution. You may need more time for deeper integration when it comes to DLC integration, for example, when using plug-in build management, such as Jenkins.
If you are scanning and you have the source code then you are good to start scanning in a few hours. Three to four hours is required for tasks done in source code.
We have one or two engineers who can work with the solution.
For some of our customers have more than 100 developers and a DevOps team.
