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.

I like the solution's flexibility

Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete."

"The SAST component was absolutely 100% stable."

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

"The feature that I have found most valuable is that its number of false positives is less than the other security application platforms. Its ease of use is another good feature. It also supports most of the languages."

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

"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."

"Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."

"Both automatic and manual code review (CxQL) are valuable."

More Checkmarx One pros

"CyberFlood is flexible."

"CyberFlood's best features are its user-friendliness and scheduling function."

"Our customers use it to check for unauthorized file transfer."

"The feature I find most valuable is the traffic generator."

Cons

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

"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."

"Creating and editing custom rules in Checkmarx is difficult because the license for the editor comes at an additional cost, and there is a steep learning curve."

"Checkmarx needs improvement in its Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and API security features."

"Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software."

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

"It is an expensive solution."

"Meta data is always needed."

More Checkmarx One cons

"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better."

"I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule."

"The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes."

"Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is the right price for quality delivery."

"If you want more, you have to pay more. You have to pay for additional modules or functionalities."

"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price is reasonable."

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

"It's relatively expensive."

"Checkmarx is comparatively costlier than other products, which is why some of the customers feel reluctant to go for it, though performance-wise, Checkmarx can compete with other products."

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

"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)."
