We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and Fortify WebInspect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DevSecOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that its number of false positives is less than the other security application platforms. Its ease of use is another good feature. It also supports most of the languages."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"Vulnerability details is valuable."
"The report function is the solution's greatest asset."
"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."
"The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities. It's one of the key features they provide that's an excellent selling point. They're always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database."
"The process of remediating software security vulnerabilities can now be performed (ongoing) as portions of the application are being built in advance of being compiled."
"When we are integrating it with SSC, we're able to scan and trace and see all of the vulnerabilities. Comparison is easy in SSC."
"It's a well-known platform for doing dynamic application scanning."
"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the static analysis."
"Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."
"It is scalable and very easy to use."
"There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."
"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."
"Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"I would like to see the DAST solution in the future."
"The solution sometimes reports a false auditable code or false positive."
"Integration into the SDLC (i.e. support for last version of SonarQube) could be added."
"The cost per user is high and should be reduced."
"Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?"
"Creating and editing custom rules in Checkmarx is difficult because the license for the editor comes at an additional cost, and there is a steep learning curve."
"Checkmarx could improve by reducing the price."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"Fortify WebInspect could improve user-friendliness. Additionally, it is very bulky to use."
"The scanner could be better."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Creating reports is very slow and it is something that should be improved."
