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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution."

"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."

"Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution."

"The tool's valuable features include integrating GPT and Copilot. Additionally, the UI web representation is very user-friendly, making navigation easy. GPT has made several improvements to my security code."

"Overall, the ability to find vulnerabilities in the code is better than the tool that we were using before."

"The solution allows us to create custom rules for code checks."

"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."

More Checkmarx One pros

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."

Cons

"Checkmarx has a slightly difficult compilation with the CI/CD pipeline."

"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."

"I expect application security vendors to cover all aspects of application security, including SAST, DAST, and even mobile application security testing. And it would be much better if they provided an on-premises and cloud option for all these main application security features."

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

"You can't use it in the continuous delivery pipeline because the scanning takes too much time."

"Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues."

"The validation process needs to be sped up."

"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."

More Checkmarx One cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"It is the right price for quality delivery."

"The price of Checkmarx could be reduced to match their competitors, it is expensive."

"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)."

"This solution is expensive. The customized package allows you to buy additional users at any time."

"We have a subscription license that is on a yearly basis, and it's a pretty competitive solution."

"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."

"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."
