Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It uses machine learning algorithms to detect attacks and manage API inventory."
"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 setup is very easy. There is a lot of information in the documents which makes the install not difficult at all."
"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."
"Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle."
"The most valuable feature for me is the Jenkins Plugin."
"The most valuable features are the easy to understand interface, and it 's very user-friendly."
"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"The main advantage of this solution is its centralized reporting functionality, which lets us track issues, then see and report on the priorities via a web portal."
 

Cons

"It is expensive."
"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."
"Licensing models and Swift language support are the aspects in which this product needs to improve. Swift is a new language, in which major customers require support for lower prices."
"I really would like to integrate it as a service along with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform. It will then be easy to use it directly as a service."
"We want to have a holistic view of the portfolio-level dashboard and not just an individual technical project level."
"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."
"I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved."
"Updating and debugging of queries is not very convenient."
"The plugins for the development environment have room for improvements such as for Android Studio and X code."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The number of users and coverage for languages will have an impact on the cost of the license."
"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)."
"Checkmarx is comparatively costlier than other products, which is why some of the customers feel reluctant to go for it, though performance-wise, Checkmarx can compete with other products."
"If you want more, you have to pay more. You have to pay for additional modules or functionalities."
"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."
"Most of my customers opted for a perpetual license. They prefer to pay the highest amount up front for the perpetual license and then pay for additional support annually."
"The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."
"Be cautious of the one-year subscription date. Once it expires, your price will go up."
