We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and Fortify WebInspect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two DevSecOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."
"The only thing I like is that Checkmarx does not need to compile."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"Checkmarx pinpoints the vulnerability in the code and also presents the flow of malicious input across the application."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the SCA module and the code-checking module. Additionally, the solutions are explanatory and helpful."
"The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities. It's one of the key features they provide that's an excellent selling point. They're always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database."
"Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution."
"Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."
"It's a well-known platform for doing dynamic application scanning."
"When we are integrating it with SSC, we're able to scan and trace and see all of the vulnerabilities. Comparison is easy in SSC."
"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."
"The solution's technical support was very helpful."
"The solution is able to detect a wide range of vulnerabilities. It's better at it than other products."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Technical support has been good."
"The integration could improve by including, for example, DevSecOps."
"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 pricing can get a bit expensive, depending on the company's size."
"You can't use it in the continuous delivery pipeline because the scanning takes too much time."
"As the solution becomes more complex and feature rich, it takes more time to debug and resolve problems. Feature-wise, we have no complaints, but Checkmarx becomes harder to maintain as the product becomes more complex. When I talk to support, it takes them longer to fix the problem than it used to."
"I would like to see the rate of false positives reduced."
"Checkmarx could improve by reducing the price."
"Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software."
"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"I'm not sure licensing, but on the pricing, it's a bit costly. It's a bit overpriced. Though it is an enterprise tool, there are other tools also with similar functionalities."
"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."
"It took us between eight and ten hours to scan an entire site, which is somewhat slow and something that I think can be improved."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
