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."It is very useful because it fits our requirements. It is also easy to use. It is not complex, and we are satisfied with the results."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"The solution has good performance, it is able to compute in 10 to 15 minutes."
"Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution."
"Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application."
"Checkmarx pinpoints the vulnerability in the code and also presents the flow of malicious input across the application."
"Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution."
"The main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete."
"The most valuable feature is customization."
"The v11 clustering is a new technology they have brought in that does not require improvement. They are the leader in it."
"The stability is excellent."
"BIG-IP can do anything. It's like a Swiss Army knife."
"You can create multiple virtual servers on F5 BIG-IP technology, and within multiple virtual servers you can have multiple nodes, where a node equals two application servers."
"Currently, it's distributing the load perfectly, as per my understanding of our requirements."
"Routing and load balancing are its most valuable features."
"The F5 GTM/BIGIP DNS (Global Traffic Manager) is a valuable feature. This feature allows for DNS load balancing, which means that high availability and load sharing can be done across services locally, as well as across datacenters with advanced capabilities."
"The pricing can get a bit expensive, depending on the company's size."
"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"The product can be improved by continuing to expand the application languages and frameworks that can be scanned for vulnerabilities. This includes expanded coverage for mobile applications as well as open-source development tools."
"You can't use it in the continuous delivery pipeline because the scanning takes too much time."
"I would like to see the rate of false positives reduced."
"The interactive application security testing, or IAST, the interactive part where you're looking at an application that lives in a runtime environment on a server or virtual machine, needs improvement."
"The validation process needs to be sped up."
"Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"BIG-IP LTM's sandboxing integration could be improved."
"For integration with other AWS environments, we do some tie-ins with some autoscaling groups. This has been challenging for us. We have had issues, where when autoscaling groups scale up, there are some instances which are not showing up in the proper size. Then, those IPs would get registered with F5, but never get released. Therefore, we are ending up with a whole bunch of ghosted IPs."
"The pricing of the product is a bit too high."
"The pricing model has caused some frustration. My clients implemented the solution and later wanted to upgrade the features but the pricing structure was complicated. There are other solutions with better pricing models."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface."
"Currently, the product offers everything we need. I can't recall any features that may be lacking."
"The analytics should provide insight into latency across various traffic routes and virtual servers."
"In terms of native integrations, there is a lot of instability. Also, integration is not robust with F5."
