We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and Cloudflare based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."
"The solution is scalable, but other solutions are better."
"The most valuable feature is that it actually identifies the different criteria you can set to meet whatever standards you're trying to get your system accredited for."
"Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution."
"The user interface is modern and nice to use."
"The value you can get out of the speedy production may be worth the price tag."
"Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle."
"The best thing about Checkmarx is the amount of vulnerabilities that it can find compared to other free tools."
"The web application firewall brought us good security and a view of the accesses/blocks of the entire domain and subdomain that were accessed both by region (country) and IPs."
"Centralized, full-featured DNS."
"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"The most valuable feature of Cloudflare is the GUI. You are able to control the solution very well through the interface. There is a lot of functionality that is embedded in the service."
"Cloudflare has many features."
"The DDoS protection is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The solution offers the flexibility to control configuration rules."
"Smaller businesses have seen great ROI due to the low investment and strong performance."
"C, C++, VB and T-SQL are not supported by this product. Although, C and C++ were advertised as being supported."
"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"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 product can be improved by continuing to expand the application languages and frameworks that can be scanned for vulnerabilities. This includes expanded coverage for mobile applications as well as open-source development tools."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”."
"Cloudflare could offer a better view or maybe dashboards of the main resources used in the client."
"Sometimes their more advanced caching tools can cause higher first-byte times and problems with JavaScript."
"For the free and Pro plans, Cloudflare could use a simple bot to provide information to users. This would improve support, especially for less advanced users who utilize the free components."
"Cloudflare does not have an on-premise solution. If they had different approaches they could be better suited to accommodate more customers, such as on-premise and hybrid deployments. For example, hybrid deployments would be useful where you could move the traffic from the enterprise to the cloud."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We're facing challenges due to an upgrade in the machine learning model. The problem arises from some users abusing the APIs, resulting in an influx of suspicious traffic. Cloudflare's learning model mistakenly identifies this traffic as human. Consequently, it assigns it a higher trust score, akin to legitimate human traffic, causing complications in our architecture. Previously, such traffic would have been categorized as suspicious, enabling us to apply appropriate blocking rules. However, we encounter difficulties distinguishing between genuine and suspicious traffic with the new categorization. Despite these challenges, overall, Cloudflare remains the preferred solution compared to Azure, AWS CloudFront, and Google Cloud Armor."
"The solution could use more analytics on the backend to give us more insights into everything. More reports would be helpful."
"Cloudflare's console should be made more user-friendly."
