"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."
"Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are difficult to pinpoint because of the way the functionalities and the features are intertwined, it's difficult to say which part of them I prefer most. You initiate the scan, you have a scan, you have the review set, and reporting, they all work together as one whole process. It's not like accounting software, where you have the different features, et cetera."
"The main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete."
"It is a stable product."

"If it is a very large code base then we have a problem where we cannot scan it."
"Its user interface could be improved and made more friendly."
"The tool is currently quite static in terms of finding security vulnerabilities. It would be great if it was more dynamic and we had even more tools at our disposal to keep us safe. It would help if there was more scanning or if the process was more automated."
"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."
"C, C++, VB and T-SQL are not supported by this product. Although, C and C++ were advertised as being supported."
"The validation process needs to be sped up."
"It is an expensive solution."

"Sometimes our web application firewall will slow down."
"I would like to improve the tool's turnaround time in terms of support."
