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.

Simple tool to use, good dashboard capabilities and offers asset criticality ratings

It has good dashboard capabilities and gives good results with priority ratings, asset criticality ratings, and exposure scores for vulnerabilities. It also provides automated web application scanning, which customers appreciate because it doesn't disturb the web application or hamper the business. While testing the web application, sometimes it happens that the website or application goes down. But with Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, it doesn't affect the business. It has good unified web application scanning and exposure management.

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

Pros

"The user interface is modern and nice to use."

"The reports are very good because they include details on the code level, and make suggestions about how to fix the problems."

"The SAST component was absolutely 100% stable."

"Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle."

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

"The only thing I like is that Checkmarx does not need to compile."

"The administration in Checkmarx is very good."

"The user interface is excellent. It's very user friendly."

More Checkmarx One pros

"We can get detailed information about vulnerabilities."

"Our customers adopt this solution because of the replication testing and the vulnerability assessment it can do. It is a multi-faceted product."

"It has good unified web application scanning and exposure management."

"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 effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

Cons

"Checkmarx has a slightly difficult compilation with the CI/CD pipeline."

"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 solution's user interface could be improved because it seems outdated."

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

"Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?"

"Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”."

"With Checkmarx, normally you need to use one tool for quality and you need to use another tool for security. I understand that Checkmarx is not in the parity space because it's totally different, but they could include some free features or recommendations too."

"This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization."

More Checkmarx One cons

"It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable."

"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."

"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."

"The solution's dashboards could be improved and made more user-friendly."

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning could improve by offering faster fuzzing."

"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."

"Sometimes it lags with different cloud environments."

"The reporting has a very limited customization capability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"We're using a commercial version of Checkmarx, and we paid for the solution for one year. The price is high and could be reduced."

"The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."

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

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

"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."

More Checkmarx One pricing and cost advice

"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is expensive for small businesses."

"It follows the same licensing scheme as Tenable.io and Tenable. sc."

"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to the competitors. The license cost is based on the number of users and the annual usage."

"For Tenable.io Web Application Scanning, it comes to around 6,50,000 Indian rupees, plus taxes."

"The pricing is okay."

"I rate the product's pricing a four out of ten."

"The application is extremely affordable. There are no additional costs involved with licensing. We switched to Tenable.io Web Application Scanning from other solutions due to pricing."
