Detect and mitigate attacks with API protection
Compliance with standards like those in Europe often requires ensuring that APIs adhere to OAuth and other security protocols. Many organizations need to verify that their APIs meet these compliance requirements. We can include information about where an API was first recorded and create a detailed chart. Some competitors already offer this feature. It is simple to integrate. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Provides good security analysis and security identification within the source code
We integrate Checkmarx into our software development cycle using GitLab's CI/CD pipeline. Checkmark has been the most helpful for us in the development stage. The solution's incremental scanning feature has impacted our development speed. The solution's vulnerability detection is around 80% to 90% accurate. I would recommend Checkmarx to other users because it is one of the good tools for doing security analysis and security identification within the source code. Overall, I rate Checkmarx a nine out of ten.

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."
"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"It shows in-depth code of where actual vulnerabilities are."
"The most valuable feature of Checkmarx is the user interface, it is very easy to use. We do not need to configure anything, we only have to scan to see the results."
"The most valuable feature is the application tracking reporting."
"Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution."
"Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"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."
 

Cons

"It is expensive."
"The product's reporting feature could be better. The feature works well for developers, but reports generated to be shared with external parties are poor, it lacks the details one gets when viewing the results directly from the Checkmarx One platform."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it seems outdated."
"C, C++, VB and T-SQL are not supported by this product. Although, C and C++ were advertised as being supported."
"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."
"Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”."
"I expect application security vendors to cover all aspects of application security, including SAST, DAST, and even mobile application security testing. And it would be much better if they provided an on-premises and cloud option for all these main application security features."
"One area for improvement in Checkmarx is pricing, as it's more expensive than other products."
"This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"We have a subscription license that is on a yearly basis, and it's a pretty competitive solution."
"This solution is expensive. The customized package allows you to buy additional users at any time."
"It is not expensive, but sometimes, their pricing model or licensing model is not very clear. There are similar variables, such as projects or developers, and sometimes, it is a little bit confusing."
"It is the right price for quality delivery."
"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."
"It is an expensive solution."
"It is a good product but a little overpriced."
