Rohit Kesharwani - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"The most valuable feature for me is the Jenkins Plugin."
"The administration in Checkmarx is very good."
"The SAST component was absolutely 100% stable."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are its integration with multiple SCM solutions and CICD tools, its ability to scale according to user licenses, and the quick scanning process."
"The only thing I like is that Checkmarx does not need to compile."

"The most important feature is that Checkmarx protects our company against attacks."

Cons

"Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement."
"The integration could improve by including, for example, DevSecOps."
"We have received some feedback from our customers who are receiving a large number of false positives."
"Checkmarx needs improvement in its Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and API security features."
"Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?"
"There is nothing particular that I don't like in this solution. It can have more integrations, but the integrations that we would like are in the roadmap anyway, and they just need to deliver the roadmap. What I like about the roadmap is that it is going where it needs to go. If I were to look at the roadmap, there is nothing that is jumping out there that says to me, "Yeah. I'd like something else on the roadmap." What they're looking to deliver is what I would expect and forecast them to deliver."
"This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization."
"The on-premises version is more expensive compared to the cloud version."
"We had some issues where Checkmarx did not recognize a vulnerability."
"We had some issues where Checkmarx did not recognize a vulnerability. We had to talk with the vendor, and they had to include an improvement in the tool to resolve this issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a good product but a little overpriced."
"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price is reasonable."
"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."
"This solution is expensive. The customized package allows you to buy additional users at any time."
"The price of Checkmarx could be reduced to match their competitors, it is expensive."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
