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

"Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application."

"The main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use. It's easy to initiate scans and triage defects."

"What I like best about Checkmarx is that it has fewer false positives than other products, giving you better results."

"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."

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

"Checkmarx has helped us deliver more secure products. We are able to do static code analysis with the tool before shipping our code to production. When the integration is in the pipeline, this tool gives us early notifications on code fixes."

"It is a stable product."

"Most valuable features include: ease of use, dashboard. interface and the ability to report."

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

"The tool is currently quite static in terms of finding security vulnerabilities. It would be great if it was more dynamic and we had even more tools at our disposal to keep us safe. It would help if there was more scanning or if the process was more automated."

"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."

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

"Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement."

"I can't create a business case with multiple-factor authentication."

"If it is a very large code base then we have a problem where we cannot scan it."

"As the solution becomes more complex and feature rich, it takes more time to debug and resolve problems. Feature-wise, we have no complaints, but Checkmarx becomes harder to maintain as the product becomes more complex. When I talk to support, it takes them longer to fix the problem than it used to."

"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."

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

"Before implementing the product I would evaluate if it is really necessary to scan so many different languages and frameworks. If not, I think there must be a cheaper solution for scanning Java-only applications (which are 90% of our applications)."

"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."

"Be cautious of the one-year subscription date. Once it expires, your price will go up."

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

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

"Its price is fair. It is in or around the right spot. Ultimately, if the price is wrong, customers won't commit, but they do tend to commit. It is neither too cheap nor too expensive."

"It is an expensive solution."
