Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle.""The product's most valuable feature is static code and supply chain effect analysis. It provides a lot of visibility.""Vulnerability details is valuable.""The most valuable feature is the simple user interface.""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.""The administration in Checkmarx is very good.""Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution.""Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution."

"Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you.""The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security."

Cons
"Meta data is always needed.""It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues.""The solution sometimes reports a false auditable code or false positive.""Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”.""We would like to be able to run scans from our local system, rather than having to always connect to the product server, which is a longer process.""The interactive application security testing, or IAST, the interactive part where you're looking at an application that lives in a runtime environment on a server or virtual machine, needs improvement.""With Checkmarx, normally you need to use one tool for quality and you need to use another tool for security. I understand that Checkmarx is not in the parity space because it's totally different, but they could include some free features or recommendations too.""The statistics module has a function that allows you to show some statistics, but I think it's limited. Maybe it needs more information."

More Checkmarx One Cons →

"The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature.""What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services."

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)."
  • More Checkmarx One Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is reasonable if you're a large enterprise developing code. It's not super-expensive."

    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."

    Sonatype Repository Firewall is a cloud-based security solution designed to safeguard your software supply chain against malicious components.
