Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the simple user interface."

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

"The most valuable feature is the application tracking reporting."

"The most valuable feature for me is the Jenkins Plugin."

"One of the most valuable features is it is flexible."

"It has all the features we need."

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

"It is a stable product."

More Checkmarx One pros

"The customers were looking for something around static security and dynamic security, and in all those areas, they were looking for an industry leader with a proven solution. Synopsys is a Gartner leader, so I position this particular technology for the technical pre-sales part of it."

Cons

"I really would like to integrate it as a service along with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform. It will then be easy to use it directly as a service."

"C, C++, VB and T-SQL are not supported by this product. Although, C and C++ were advertised as being supported."

"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."

"The integration could improve by including, for example, DevSecOps."

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

"One area for improvement in Checkmarx is pricing, as it's more expensive than other products."

"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."

"The product can be improved by continuing to expand the application languages and frameworks that can be scanned for vulnerabilities. This includes expanded coverage for mobile applications as well as open-source development tools."

More Checkmarx One cons

"The initial setup is a bit challenging because things are not easy. It needs a lot of technology adaptability plus the customer's environment-specific use cases."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It is a good product but a little overpriced."

"I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."

"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."

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

"The license has a vague language around P1 issues and the associated support. Make sure to review these in order to align them with your organizational policies."

"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."

More Checkmarx One pricing and cost advice

"It is more of an enterprise solution for budget-conscious customers. So, it's moderately priced. It's not for everybody."
