Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete.""Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution.""It's not an obstacle for developers. They can easily write their code and make it more secure with Checkmarx.""The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all.""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 feature of Checkmarx is the user interface, it is very easy to use. We do not need to configure anything, we only have to scan to see the results.""The user interface is modern and nice to use.""It is a stable product."

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is quick when processing and giving an output or generating a report.""Lifecycle features, because they permit us to show non-technical people the risk and costs hidden into the code due to bad programming practices.""I've found the reporting features the most helpful.""I personally like the way it breaks down security vulnerabilities with LoC at first glance.""The feature that I have found the most valuable in Kiuwan is the speed of scanning. Compared to other SaaS tools I have used, Kiuwan is much quicker in performing scans. I have not yet used it on a large code base, but from what I have experienced, it is efficient and accurate. Additionally, I have used it both manually and in an automated pipeline, and both methods have been effective. The speed of scanning is what makes it valuable to me.""I find it immensely helpful because it's not just about generating code; it's about ensuring efficiency in the execution.""We are using this solution to increase the quality of our software and to test the vulnerabilities in our tools before the customers find them.""The most valuable feature is the time to resolution, where it tells you how long it is going to take to get to a zero-base or a five-star security rating."

Cons
"Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software.""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.""The solution's user interface could be improved because it seems outdated.""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.""The product's reporting feature could be better. The feature works well for developers, but reports generated to be shared with external parties are poor, it lacks the details one gets when viewing the results directly from the Checkmarx One platform.""We want to have a holistic view of the portfolio-level dashboard and not just an individual technical project level.""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 integration could improve by including, for example, DevSecOps."

More Checkmarx One Cons →

"DIfferent languages, such Spanish, Portuguese, and so on.""It would be beneficial to streamline calls and transitions seamlessly for improved functionality.""Integration of the programming tools could be improved.""The next release should include more flexibility in the reporting.""The integration process could be improved. It'll also help if it could generate reports automatically. But I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the reports. This is because, in our last project, we still found some key issues that weren't captured by the Kiuwan report.""Perhaps more languages supported.""The configuration hasn't been that good.""I would like to see better integration with the Visual Studio and Eclipse IDEs."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is the right price for quality delivery."
  • "I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."
  • "The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."
  • "The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."
  • "It is a good product but a little overpriced."
  • "The license has a vague language around P1 issues and the associated support. Make sure to review these in order to align them with your organizational policies."
  • "​Checkmarx is not a cheap scanning tool, but none of the security tools are cheap. Checkmarx is a powerful scanning tool, and it’s essential to have one of these products."
  • "We got a special offer for a 30% reduction for three years, after our first year. I think for a real source-code scanning tool, you have to add a lot of money for Open Source Analysis, and AppSec Coach (160 Euro per user per year)."

  • "Check with your account manager."
  • "Nothing special. It's a very fair model."
  • "I recommend contacting a sales person who will create the best plan payment plan for you, as we did."
  • "This solution is cheaper than other tools."
  • "It follows a subscription model. I think the price is somewhere in the middle."
  • "Kiuwan is an open-source solution and free to use."
  • "The price of Kiuwan is lower than that of other tools on the market."

    Checkmarx is a highly accurate and flexible static code analysis product that allows organizations to automatically scan uncompiled code and identify hundreds of security vulnerabilities in all major coding languages and software frameworks. Checkmarx is available as a standalone product and can be effectively integrated into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to streamline vulnerability detection and remediation. Checkmarx is trusted by leading organizations such as SAP, Samsung, and Salesforce.com.

    • Open-source security for infrastructure as code: Identify and fix insecure IaC configurations that put your application at risk.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Checkmarx stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to enable developers to secure their code with a single management dashboard and its high-speed scanning abilities.

    PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A CEO at a tech services company writes, “The most valuable features are the easy-to-understand interface, and it’s very user-friendly. We spend some time tuning to start scanning a new project, which is only a few clicks. A few simple tunes for custom rules and we can start our scan. We can do the work quickly and we don't need to compile the source code because Checkmarx does the work without compiling the project. The scanning is very quick. It's about 20,000 lines per hour, which is a good speed for scanning.”

    A director at a tech services company notes, “The features and technologies are very good. The flexibility and the roadmap have also been very good. They're at the forefront of delivering the additional capabilities that are required with cloud delivery, etc. Their ability to deliver what customers require and when they require is very important.”

    A senior manager at a manufacturing company writes, “The identification of verification-related security vulnerabilities is really important and one of the key things. It also identifies vulnerabilities for any kind of third-party tool coming into the system or any third-party tools that you are using, which is very useful for avoiding random hacking."

    Software analytics technology with a breadth of third party integrations that takes into account the wealth of applications your teams are currently using.

    We facilitate and encourage work between unlocalized teams. We understand the complexity of working on multi technology environments, constantly striving to increase the number of programming languages and technologies we support.
