We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and Fortinet FortiADC based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."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."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the SCA module and the code-checking module. Additionally, the solutions are explanatory and helpful."
"It shows in-depth code of where actual vulnerabilities are."
"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 solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"We were using HPE Security Fortify to scan code for security vulnerabilities, but it can scan only after a successful compile. If the code has dependencies or build errors, the scan fails. With Checkmarx, pre-compile scanning is seamless. This allows us to scan more code."
"One of the most valuable features is it is flexible."
"Both automatic and manual code review (CxQL) are valuable."
"Fortinet FortiADC is a good product because each and every piece of content is monitored by it."
"Content caching and content compression are good features."
"I am impressed with the product's load-balancing feature."
"It's a good product because it supports all the features that ADC solutions in the market can support, like F5 solutions, for example, such as the LTM of F5."
"Key features include SSL Offloading, VM availability, and L7 load balancing."
"The main feature that we use is GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing). GSLB makes the customer's network more reliable by scaling applications across multiple datacenters. GSLB as a disaster recovery solution can direct traffic based on site availability."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"I like the solution's load balance with DNS intelligence."
"We want to have a holistic view of the portfolio-level dashboard and not just an individual technical project level."
"I would like the product to include more debugging and developed tools. It needs to also add enhancements on the coding side."
"When we first ran it on a big project, there wasn't enough memory on the computer. It originally ran with eight gigabytes, and now it runs with 32. The software stopped at some point, and while I don't think it said it ran out of memory, it just said "stopped" and something else. We had to go to the logs and send them to the integrator, and eventually, they found a memory issue in the logs and recommended increasing the memory. We doubled it once, and it didn't seem enough. We doubled it again, and it helped."
"Checkmarx has a slightly difficult compilation with the CI/CD pipeline."
"In terms of dashboarding, the solution could provide a little more flexibility in terms of creating more dashboards. It has some of its own dashboards that come out of the box. However, if I have to implement my own dashboards that are aligned to my organization's requirements, that dashboarding feature has limited capability right now."
"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 the speed of the scans."
"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."
"Fortinet FortiADC should include an advanced-level SD-WAN."
"Because it is so generic, the documentation requires special attention. A person who has not worked on Fortinet FortiADC or a similar product will struggle to understand what the document is trying to say. The documentation could be more specific, and more detailed."
"The product’s price could be reduced. Also, some of its features need to be more advanced."
"Fortinet has some drawbacks, and it can be a bit challenging to scale."
"The solution's WAF needs an upgrade because it is not as good as FortiWeb, VMware, F5, or Imperva."
"The solution should improve finding false positives and false negatives. There are a lot of false positives."
"There is a mismatch between the number of features they are offering and the device capacity on how much it can handle."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
