We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and Fortify Software Security Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Testing (AST)."Most valuable features include: ease of use, dashboard. interface and the ability to report."
"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"The main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete."
"Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the Best Fix Location and the Payments option because you can save a lot of time trying to mitigate the configuration. Using these tools can save you a lot of time."
"Overall, the ability to find vulnerabilities in the code is better than the tool that we were using before."
"The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all."
"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."
"This is a stable solution at the end of the day."
"The reporting is very useful because you can always view an entire list of the issues that you have."
"You can easily download the tool's rule packs and update them."
"Micro-services need to be included in the next release."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model."
"I would like to see the DAST solution in the future."
"You can't use it in the continuous delivery pipeline because the scanning takes too much time."
"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."
"They should make it more container-friendly and optimized for the CI pipeline. They should make it a little less heavy. Right now, it requires a SQL database, and the way the tool works is that it has an engine and then it has an analysis database in which it stores the information. So, it is pretty heavy from that perspective because you have to have a full SQL Server. They're working on something called Checkmarx Light, which is a slim-down version. They haven't released it yet, but that's what we need. There should be something a little more slimmed down that can just run the analysis and output the results in a format that's readable as opposed to having a full, really big, and thick deployment with a full database server."
"The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode."
"I expect application security vendors to cover all aspects of application security, including SAST, DAST, and even mobile application security testing. And it would be much better if they provided an on-premises and cloud option for all these main application security features."
"Fortify Software Security Center's setup is really painful."
"This solution is difficult to implement, and it should be made more comfortable for the end-users."
"We are having issues with false positives that need to be resolved."
