We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and Tenable.io Web Application Scanning based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities. It's one of the key features they provide that's an excellent selling point. They're always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"The most valuable feature is the application tracking reporting."
"Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."
"We were using HPE Security Fortify to scan code for security vulnerabilities, but it can scan only after a successful compile. If the code has dependencies or build errors, the scan fails. With Checkmarx, pre-compile scanning is seamless. This allows us to scan more code."
"The value you can get out of the speedy production may be worth the price tag."
"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"The features and technologies are very good. The flexibility and the roadmap have also been very good. They're at the forefront of delivering the additional capabilities that are required with cloud delivery, etc. Their ability to deliver what customers require and when they require is very important."
"The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities."
"The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment."
"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."
"All the features are valuable to us as they offer cutting-edge scanning methods and address the latest issues with a contemporary approach. Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is highly stable. I rate it a nine out ten. Since the solution works on the Cloud, it's highly scalable. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten. The setup of the solution is straightforward. The Return on Investment is substantial. I recommend the solution to all."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."
"It is fully automated."
"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."
"They could work to improve the user interface. Right now, it really is lacking."
"It is an expensive solution."
"They should make it more container-friendly and optimized for the CI pipeline. They should make it a little less heavy. Right now, it requires a SQL database, and the way the tool works is that it has an engine and then it has an analysis database in which it stores the information. So, it is pretty heavy from that perspective because you have to have a full SQL Server. They're working on something called Checkmarx Light, which is a slim-down version. They haven't released it yet, but that's what we need. There should be something a little more slimmed down that can just run the analysis and output the results in a format that's readable as opposed to having a full, really big, and thick deployment with a full database server."
"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."
"The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode."
"Its user interface could be improved and made more friendly."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."
"It would be great if there were a dashboard that is more user-friendly."
"I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package. It is fully automated. Other web application testers programs are actually proxy software, and the proxy software gives you the flexibility of modifying the outgoing package, which will actually help you in exploiting any vulnerability in detail."
"The reporting has a very limited customization capability."
"The platform's technical support services could be better."
"The cloud and the on-premises versions have their own controllers, and there is no way to centrally manage controllers."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
