We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and GitLab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The UI is user-friendly."
"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."
"It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."
"Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle."
"The solution has good performance, it is able to compute in 10 to 15 minutes."
"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."
"The most valuable feature of Checkmarx is the user interface, it is very easy to use. We do not need to configure anything, we only have to scan to see the results."
"The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is compatible with GitHub. The product's integration capabilities are sufficient for our small company of 35 people."
"The scalability is good."
"I find the features and version control history to be most valuable for our development workflow. These aspects provide us with a clear view of changes and help us manage requests efficiently."
"I have found the most valuable feature is security control. I also like the branching and cloning software."
"The dashboard and interface make it easy to use."
"This is a scalable solution. We had around 200 users working with it."
"GitLab integrates well with other platforms."
"The initial setup of GitLab is pretty simple, with no complications."
"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."
"One area for improvement in Checkmarx is pricing, as it's more expensive than other products."
"The cost per user is high and should be reduced."
"The resolutions should also be provided. For example, if the user faces any problem regarding an installation due to the internal security policies of their company, there should be a resolution offered."
"Licensing models and Swift language support are the aspects in which this product needs to improve. Swift is a new language, in which major customers require support for lower prices."
"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."
"Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues."
"You can't use it in the continuous delivery pipeline because the scanning takes too much time."
"The integration could be slightly better."
"I would like to see better integration with project management tools such as Jira."
"We do face issues in our company when we run out of disk space."
"GitLab's Windows version is yet not available and having this would be an improvement."
"When deploying the solution on cloud and the CI/CD pipeline, we have to define the steps and it becomes confusing."
"Reporting could be improved."
"Atlassian offers more products than GitLab. GitLab offers source control management, version control and collaboration between developers. Atlassian offers features on top of this as well as more integration points for developers."
"GitLab could improve by having more plugins and better user-friendliness."
