Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Checkmarx pinpoints the vulnerability in the code and also presents the flow of malicious input across the application.""We use the solution to validate the source code and do SAST and security analysis.""The administration in Checkmarx is very good.""It has all the features we need.""The value you can get out of the speedy production may be worth the price tag.""One of the most valuable features is it is flexible.""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.""It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."

Cons
"Checkmarx could improve the solution reports and false positives. The false positives could be reduced. For example, we have alerts that are tagged as vulnerabilities but when you drill down they are not.""The cost per user is high and should be reduced.""C, C++, VB and T-SQL are not supported by this product. Although, C and C++ were advertised as being supported.""I really would like to integrate it as a service along with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform. It will then be easy to use it directly as a service.""The pricing can get a bit expensive, depending on the company's size.""Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?""They could work to improve the user interface. Right now, it really is lacking.""The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode."

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)."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Checkmarx stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to enable developers to secure their code with a single management dashboard and its high-speed scanning abilities.

    PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A CEO at a tech services company writes, “The most valuable features are the easy-to-understand interface, and it’s very user-friendly. We spend some time tuning to start scanning a new project, which is only a few clicks. A few simple tunes for custom rules and we can start our scan. We can do the work quickly and we don't need to compile the source code because Checkmarx does the work without compiling the project. The scanning is very quick. It's about 20,000 lines per hour, which is a good speed for scanning.”

    A director at a tech services company notes, “The features and technologies are very good. The flexibility and the roadmap have also been very good. They're at the forefront of delivering the additional capabilities that are required with cloud delivery, etc. Their ability to deliver what customers require and when they require is very important.”

    A senior manager at a manufacturing company writes, “The identification of verification-related security vulnerabilities is really important and one of the key things. It also identifies vulnerabilities for any kind of third-party tool coming into the system or any third-party tools that you are using, which is very useful for avoiding random hacking."

    Our proprietary protection capabilities shield apps from reverse engineering, tampering, API exploits, and other attacks that can put your business, your customers, and your bottom line at risk.
