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.
Saif Ullah Khan - PeerSpot reviewer
Boosts security by automatically blocking applications or activities, but query responses have been slower recently
For the past six months, we have been facing some issues. Because it is a cloud-based infrastructure, it has been getting slower. There are no bugs because they release updates continuously. We highly appreciate that, but during hunting or running a query on different logs, the time frame has increased in the past six months. It takes longer to give us the results. Another issue is the lack of proper documentation. During investigations, there is no proper documentation available. This is a problem because many people are saying there should be proper documentation explaining what CrowdStrike captures from the machine and the meaning of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution to validate the source code and do SAST and security analysis."
"It has all the features we need."
"The identification of verification-related security vulnerabilities is really important and one of the key things. It also identifies vulnerabilities for any kind of third-party tool coming into the system or any third-party tools that you are using, which is very useful for avoiding random hacking."
"It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."
"It is very useful because it fits our requirements. It is also easy to use. It is not complex, and we are satisfied with the results."
"The user interface is modern and nice to use."
"It's not an obstacle for developers. They can easily write their code and make it more secure with Checkmarx."
"The solution has good performance, it is able to compute in 10 to 15 minutes."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include its automation capabilities, efficacy, and lower risk."
"The alerts are clearer, and the capabilities are much better than the others."
"It's easy to gather insights and conduct analysis about existing threats."
"We like the solution's management and monitoring tools for our network. We use it to monitor our network between workstations and outside our organization. The AI provides useful visualizations of our network on a dashboard."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is user-friendly."
"I find the easy installation process, quick detection capabilities, and the cloud-based console very useful for this solution."
"Cloud security is one valuable feature. Spotlight is the other one. There is also vulnerability management and a couple of more features."
"The solution has login features like multi factor authentication."
 

Cons

"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."
"It provides us with quite a handful of false positive issues. If Checkmarx could reduce this number, it would be a great tool to use."
"We want to have a holistic view of the portfolio-level dashboard and not just an individual technical project level."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"Checkmarx needs improvement in its Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and API security features."
"I can't create a business case with multiple-factor authentication."
"The cost per user is high and should be reduced."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I think the UI could be improved, but the technical support said CrowdStrike will improve the UI in the near future. But right now, it’s so messy."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's ability to handle Linux systems."
"The SIEM needs to be more developed."
"The only suggestion for improvement would be the pricing."
"There should be cloud storage scanning. We would like to have cloud storage vulnerability and threat management on any cloud storage."
"The tool's scalability is low."
"Incorporating threat intelligence into the system would be a valuable addition."
"The log scale or Humio side of it where it collects the data and expands into the XDR world still needs time to develop in terms of the way it combines the data and metadata that flows into the platform. I know they're working on it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is expensive. The customized package allows you to buy additional users at any time."
"It's relatively expensive."
"We're using a commercial version of Checkmarx, and we paid for the solution for one year. The price is high and could be reduced."
"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."
"The number of users and coverage for languages will have an impact on the cost of the license."
"​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."
"The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."
"If you want more, you have to pay more. You have to pay for additional modules or functionalities."
"The price is not too high, it is okay."
"The pricing is reasonable, neither overly expensive nor excessively cheap, making it competitive compared to other market options."
"It's an expensive product"
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is pricy."
"CrowdStrike Falcon is very expensive."
"CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security is very expensive for us. Last month, we had a big issue that took much time and money to resolve. It slowed down our business and required our management team to get involved. We had a problem similar to the "Blue Screen of Death" issue many US companies faced. This incident used up many of our IT resources in just a few months. That's why we're looking for a replacement tool now."
"It's an expensive package but does what it says it will do."
"I am not the one who handled the pricing. A different team worked on it, but it is pretty expensive."
