"The UI is very intuitive and simple to use."
"Vulnerability details is valuable."
"The only thing I like is that Checkmarx does not need to compile."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"Checkmarx has helped us deliver more secure products. We are able to do static code analysis with the tool before shipping our code to production. When the integration is in the pipeline, this tool gives us early notifications on code fixes."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the SCA module and the code-checking module. Additionally, the solutions are explanatory and helpful."
"From my point of view, it is the best product on the market."
"The product’s UI is easy to understand."
"The most valuable features are the configuration and configuring the process."
"The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is the benchmark performance."
"The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is it becomes similar to a distributed architecture."
"F5 technical support is really good."
"The most valuable feature of F5 Silverline Managed Services is its cloud-native functionality and the high level of protection it provides."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most important feature is that they have seven firewall protection, to protect our web servers."
"We would like to be able to run scans from our local system, rather than having to always connect to the product server, which is a longer process."
"We want to have a holistic view of the portfolio-level dashboard and not just an individual technical project level."
"The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode."
"The statistics module has a function that allows you to show some statistics, but I think it's limited. Maybe it needs more information."
"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."
"If it is a very large code base then we have a problem where we cannot scan it."
"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."
"Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues."
"We need to have support for cloud protection, which is not offered by this solution."
"F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall, being a new product in the market or comparatively related to a new product, currently supports less number of PoPs. They should introduce more PoPs. The current number of PoPs that they have is around 10 or 12, which is still relatively less as compared to 2,400 plus PoPs that Akamai offers. The user latency or the number of hops a user needs before reaching the actual web application is less in Akamai because it has its internal fabric to route the traffic. They need to spin up more data to increase its traffic handling capability. They can also include the bot detection capability, though it is a pretty advanced functionality. If they could include DataDome like functionality, that is, bot prediction, then F5 Silverline Web Application Firewall will be top-notch in the market."
"The product could be improved on the global load and the integration with the other solution like Cisco and Dell. As a representor of the operation, we prefer to have one platform which can accommodate all type of integration. We are also looking for more improvements in the security policy configuration."
"There is a lot of room for improvement with their tech support. I am not sure F5 Silverline Managed Services can be classified as having tech support."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of the solution."
"The price of F5 Silverline Managed Services could be better."
"The navigation is difficult to use."
"I just hope the price can be cheaper."
