Using these tools can save you a lot of time."
"The reports are very good because they include details on the code level, and make suggestions about how to fix the problems."
"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the automation and information that it provides in the reports."
"The user interface is modern and nice to use."
"The best thing about Checkmarx is the amount of vulnerabilities that it can find compared to other free tools."
"It has all the features we need."
"The most valuable feature is the application tracking reporting."
"Cloudflare offers CDN and DDoS protection. We have the front end, API, and database in how you structure applications."
"Cloudflare has many features."
"Cloudflare allows us to self-host services such as Rocket.Chat and Node-RED, in high-availability mode, thanks to round robin DNS which allows us to share one hostname between our two locations."
"Cloudflare is a security SaaS provider that provides security and protects us from any application layer attack."
"From what I've seen so far, there are no negatives to report as of yet"
"It is easier to configure and develop documentation to see how we have configured firewalls."
"The simplicity of the overall dashboard makes it a great product for a user like me who has less understanding of the internet than a developer or other more technical people. It gives me peace of mind. I also love the easy customization of the Page Rules."
"There are key things that are used for our enterprise customers, such as Lambda and DNS."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"When we first ran it on a big project, there wasn't enough memory on the computer. It originally ran with eight gigabytes, and now it runs with 32. The software stopped at some point, and while I don't think it said it ran out of memory, it just said "stopped" and something else. We had to go to the logs and send them to the integrator, and eventually, they found a memory issue in the logs and recommended increasing the memory. We doubled it once, and it didn't seem enough. We doubled it again, and it helped."
"This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization."
"The cost per user is high and should be reduced."
"Integration into the SDLC (i.e. support for last version of SonarQube) could be added."
"Meta data is always needed."
"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 reporting can definitely be improved to offer a lot more explanation on something that may have happened or has actually happened."
"It should be easier to collect the logs with companies like Sumo. However, based on my discussions with the salespeople, I understand that's how they make their money. With the enterprise product, they want people doing those kinds of enterprise features to do the logging. They want them to pay a lot of money, and that's where I have an issue with them. That should be a default. You should be able to get the log no matter what. The logging should be universal."
"They lack a good way to manage DNS as a company, since everything is relegated to single account logins until you get to the higher levels. They have come out with a paid feature to remedy this, but I have not had a chance to fully review it yet to know if it fixes the access problem."
"Support response time could be improved."
"If they improve on the placement of their data centers, it would be better. I'm living in a remote area. I would like to connect to them without any kind of lag."
"DNS Management."
"Technical support is lacking."
"The product support needs to be accessible from more places, a wider area of coverage."
