Cons
"Check Point CloudGuard Application Security needs to improve updates on integrations. It also needs to incorporate real-time monitoring features.""I have faced issues with the tool's blocking aspects. It is hard to open or block web services due to the multitude of cloud centers. I have to do the process manually at times. We have a bug which is hard to solve.""I would like to be able to integrate the theme of Artificial Intelligence to help review issues and to monitor and view the security issue while also suggesting and interpreting and additionally configuring solutions - basically, acting as an interpreter.""The coding configurations can be simplified to save time for IT teams and developers.""There are occasions when it interfaces with other systems, leading to a loss of visibility.""Cost reduction and trial period extension should be considered with some lucrative discount offerings in buying standard versions.""In terms of features, I do not have any negatives. Their integration is extremely quick. It is better than others I have been involved with in the past. Their pricing model, however, can be better.""The creation of security profiles for each application takes a lot of time."

More Check Point CloudGuard WAF Cons →

"Creating and editing custom rules in Checkmarx is difficult because the license for the editor comes at an additional cost, and there is a steep learning curve.""Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software.""Its user interface could be improved and made more friendly.""This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization.""They can support the remaining languages that are currently not supported. They can also create a different model that can identify zero-day attacks. They can work on different patterns to identify and detect zero-day vulnerability attacks.""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 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.""Updating and debugging of queries is not very convenient."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The tool's licensing costs are yearly and competitive."
  • "The pricing is competitive compared to other solutions on the market. So, the licensing cost is average."
  • "Check Point CloudGuard Application Security's pricing is not friendly."
  • "Considering all the benefits we've observed, we find the price to be satisfactory."
  • "It is not cheap, but it is worth it."
  • "I find the pricing to be reasonable."
  • "If the pricing for the Infinity platform covers everything, it would be more straightforward. I had a hard time selling it to our CEO as a former CFO because of the differentials. There are different deltas year to year over a five-year period. It is very difficult to explain. It would be easier to digest for our executives if there was a flatter scale"
  • "Check Point CloudGuard Application Security's pricing is comparable to other products in the market."
  • More Check Point CloudGuard WAF 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)."
