Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Testing (AST)."The value you can get out of the speedy production may be worth the price tag."
"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."
"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all."
"It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."
"The solution improved the efficiency of our code security reviews. It helps tremendously because it finds hundreds of potential problems sometimes."
"The reporting is very useful because you can always view an entire list of the issues that you have."
"You can easily download the tool's rule packs and update them."
"This is a stable solution at the end of the day."
"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"I would like to see the rate of false positives reduced."
"Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”."
"The resolutions should also be provided. For example, if the user faces any problem regarding an installation due to the internal security policies of their company, there should be a resolution offered."
"One area for improvement in Checkmarx is pricing, as it's more expensive than other products."
"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 is not good because it has too many false positive issues."
"Fortify Software Security Center's setup is really painful."
"We are having issues with false positives that need to be resolved."
"This solution is difficult to implement, and it should be made more comfortable for the end-users."
