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 can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."

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

"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are difficult to pinpoint because of the way the functionalities and the features are intertwined, it's difficult to say which part of them I prefer most. You initiate the scan, you have a scan, you have the review set, and reporting, they all work together as one whole process. It's not like accounting software, where you have the different features, et cetera."

"The main advantage of this solution is its centralized reporting functionality, which lets us track issues, then see and report on the priorities via a web portal."

"The best thing about Checkmarx is the amount of vulnerabilities that it can find compared to other free tools."

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

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

"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are its integration with multiple SCM solutions and CICD tools, its ability to scale according to user licenses, and the quick scanning process."

More Checkmarx One pros

"I find the attack model quite amazing, where I can write my scripts and load my scripts as well, which helps quite a bit. All the active scanning that it can do is also quite a lot helpful. It speeds up our vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. Right now, I am enjoying its in-browser, which also helps quite a bit. I'm always confused about setting up some proxy, but it really is the big solution we all want."

"The most valuable feature is the application security. It also has a reasonable price."

"We are mostly using it for scanning the entire website. So, we basically create a script with the entire website and then run it for different injections."

"The feature that we have found most valuable is that it comes with pre-set configurations. They have a set of predefined options where you can pick one and start scanning. We also have the option of creating our own configurations, like how often do the applications need to be scanned."

"You can download different plugins if you don't have them in the standard edition."

"We use the solution for vulnerability assessment in respect of the application and the sites."

"The most valuable feature is Burp Collaborator."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional is one of the best user-friendly solutions for getting the proxy set up."

Cons

"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."

"It is an expensive solution."

"The validation process needs to be sped up."

"Checkmarx could improve the solution reports and false positives. The false positives could be reduced. For example, we have alerts that are tagged as vulnerabilities but when you drill down they are not."

"I would like to see the DAST solution in the future."

"The solution sometimes reports a false auditable code or false positive."

"There is nothing particular that I don't like in this solution. It can have more integrations, but the integrations that we would like are in the roadmap anyway, and they just need to deliver the roadmap. What I like about the roadmap is that it is going where it needs to go. If I were to look at the roadmap, there is nothing that is jumping out there that says to me, "Yeah. I'd like something else on the roadmap." What they're looking to deliver is what I would expect and forecast them to deliver."

"Some of the descriptions were found to be missing or were not as elaborate as compared to other descriptions. Although, they could be found across various standard sources but it would save a lot of time for developers, if this was fixed."

More Checkmarx One cons

"It would be beneficial to have privileged access management as a part of Burp Suite Professional."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional could improve the static code review."

"One area for improvement is the integrated browser, Chromium. Single Sign-On (SSO) methods like Microsoft authentication login sometimes fail and show errors. As a workaround, I have to use a different browser, such as Firefox, to log in and make Burp work."

"The Initial setup is a bit complex."

"The tool is very expensive."

"There needs to be better documentation provided. Currently, we need to buy books, or we need to review online some use cases from other professionals who have been using the solution to find out their experience. It is not easy to find out how to properly do a security assessment."

"Mitigating the issues and low confluence issues needs some improvement. Implementing demand with the ChatGPT under the web solution is an additional feature I would like to see in the next release."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is the right price for quality delivery."

"It is an expensive solution."

"The tool's pricing is fine."

"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."

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

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

"The number of users and coverage for languages will have an impact on the cost of the license."

"The average deal size was usually anywhere between $120K to $175K on an annual basis, which could be divided across 12 months."

More Checkmarx One pricing and cost advice

"We are using the community version, which is free."

"There is no setup cost and the cost of licensing is affordable."

"The cost is approximately $500 for a single license, and there are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"There are different licenses available that include a free version."

"This solution requires a license. It is expensive but you receive a lot of functionality for the price."

"They should reduce the license cost a little bit. It is $400 per user, and it would be better if they could reduce the licensing fee."

"The solution used to be expensive. However, they have reduced the price to approximately $400.00 which is reasonable."

"It is expensive for us in Brazil because the currency exchange rate from a dollar to a Brazilian Real is quite steep."
