Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 9, 2024

Checkmarx One and Claroty Platform compete in the security software category, focusing on code scanning and OT environments, respectively. Checkmarx One appears to have an edge in programming language support and integration, while Claroty excels in industrial control sector features.

Features: Checkmarx One supports a wide variety of programming languages, offers comprehensive code scanning without needing compilation, and integrates with key repositories. Incremental scanning capabilities and clear reporting enhance its utility. Claroty Platform provides valuable real-time monitoring and threat detection for OT environments, excels in asset management, and offers extensive visibility in industrial control sectors.

Room for Improvement: Checkmarx One could improve by reducing false positive rates, expanding language support to include languages like COBOL, and enhancing dynamic code testing. It also requires a more flexible licensing model. Claroty Platform needs better vulnerability management, improved integration capabilities, particularly regarding zero-day attack coverage, and more intuitive user interaction to enhance user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Checkmarx One offers deployment flexibility through public and private cloud options. Its customer service is viewed variably, with some users citing high responsiveness while others note delays. Claroty, mostly deployed on-premises, has high-quality technical support, though users report some inefficiencies in responsiveness.

Pricing and ROI: Checkmarx One is considered expensive, with a complex and rigid licensing model. However, its effectiveness in enhancing application security justifies its cost. Claroty Platform is also seen as pricey, especially for software versions. Despite this, its value for OT security is acknowledged. Determining ROI for both tools is challenging due to varying environments and organizational factors.

Weekly insights and risk analysis facilitate informed security decisions

I appreciate the weekly insights Zafran provides, which include critical topics for networks and IT security, allowing us to evaluate which insights apply to our environment. The organization score feature is valuable to keep the leadership team updated on how our infrastructure fares security-wise. The applicable risk level versus base risk level feature is beneficial because prior to Zafran, we only used the base risk level, but now understand that risk depends on the asset itself. Zafran is an excellent tool.

Partner experiences excellent technical support and seamless initial setup

In my opinion, if we are able to extract or show the report, and because everything is going towards agent tech and GenAI, it would be beneficial if it could get integrated with our code base and do the fix automatically. It could suggest how the code base is written and automatically populate the source code with three different solution options to choose from. This would be really helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, we have seen about eighty-seven percent reduction of the number of vulnerabilities that require urgency to remediate, specifically the number of criticals."

"Zafran is an excellent tool."

"Zafran has become an indispensable tool in our cybersecurity arsenal."

"We are able to see the real risk of a vulnerability on our environment with our security tools."

"We saw benefits from Zafran Security almost immediately after deploying it."

"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 reports are very good because they include details on the code level, and make suggestions about how to fix the problems."

"The solution improved the efficiency of our code security reviews. It helps tremendously because it finds hundreds of potential problems sometimes."

"The UI is very intuitive and simple to use."

"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."

"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."

"From my point of view, it is the best product on the market."

"It shows in-depth code of where actual vulnerabilities are."

More Checkmarx One pros

"Their SRA solution, the Secure Remote Access solution, is very useful for industrial environments."

"Customer service is number one and the best."

"I like how the tool does passive and active discovery and threat detection and shows risks, recommendations, and vulnerabilities. It gives risk scores and gathers everything in one place - IP, device name, etc. We can integrate it with other tools for overall network mapping. It's useful for audits, compliance, and monitoring of all devices in the industry. It provides both monitoring and control. We also have SRA for incident response, which lets us search all alerts if we deploy the Claroty Platform."

"I appreciate the active coding, deep inspection of packages, and data retrieval. The tool covers information about assets and attack vectors, which I find superior to other tools. Based on alerts, I create reports detailing how an attacker can penetrate the plant, both externally and internally."

"The main advantage of Claroty, when compared to its competitors, is integrated secure remote access."

"Claroty provides continuous threat protection and identifies pre-empty stuff and false positives."

"I believe the two main aspects where Claroty stands out are their ability to provide a complete platform and their OT-specific focus."

"The product helps mitigate potential threats, especially if its users have signature rules. The product also provides alerts."

More Claroty Platform pros

Cons

"The dashboarding and reporting functionality of Zafran Security is an area that definitely could use some improvements."

"I think the ability to have some enhanced reporting capabilities is something they can improve on, as they have good reports but we have asked for some specific reporting enhancements."

"Initially, we were somewhat concerned about the scalability of Zafran due to our large asset count and the substantial amount of information we needed to process."

"One area for improvement in Checkmarx is pricing, as it's more expensive than other products."

"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."

"They should make it more container-friendly and optimized for the CI pipeline. They should make it a little less heavy. Right now, it requires a SQL database, and the way the tool works is that it has an engine and then it has an analysis database in which it stores the information. So, it is pretty heavy from that perspective because you have to have a full SQL Server. They're working on something called Checkmarx Light, which is a slim-down version. They haven't released it yet, but that's what we need. There should be something a little more slimmed down that can just run the analysis and output the results in a format that's readable as opposed to having a full, really big, and thick deployment with a full database server."

"We would like to be able to run scans from our local system, rather than having to always connect to the product server, which is a longer process."

"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."

"Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?"

"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."

"The pricing can get a bit expensive, depending on the company's size."

More Checkmarx One cons

"There are a few protocols that Claroty doesn't currently support."

"There is room for improvement in the user interface to make it more vibrant and interactive, similar to IT tools."

"There is room for improvement in the user interface to make it more vibrant and interactive, similar to IT tools. Improvements could also be made in the Secure Remote Access (SRA) user interaction and graphical representations of recordings."

"I've reported four bugs and three feature requests so far. The main area of focus should be on how attacks are detected. The attack vector information needs to be more detailed. For example, it's not enough to state that an SMB v1 version open can lead to a WannaCry attack. A more detailed explanation should help clients understand the various ways an attack could occur."

"Occasionally, I face a login problem despite entering the correct password."

"There should be AI security solutions implemented."

"I think the only issue is that the hardware Claroty uses is expensive."

"We face issues in the alert investigation area because it does not properly give the alert communication patterns."

More Claroty Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price is reasonable."

"If you want more, you have to pay more. You have to pay for additional modules or functionalities."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s pricing is higher than others and it is for the license alone."

"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."

"It is a good product but a little overpriced."

"The solution's price is high and you pay based on the number of users."

"It is the right price for quality delivery."

More Checkmarx One pricing and cost advice

"It's a bit expensive compared to other solutions."

"The tool is quite expensive."

"The licensing for physical devices is cheap, but the software version is expensive. The software version costs around 26-28 dollars. I was surprised and even double-checked. It was shocking."
