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.

Helps with Zero-day protection

We use the solution for Zero-day protection. The solution stops any kind of remote code execution. The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load. I have been using the product for a year. I would rate the tool's stability a six out of ten. I would…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Vulnerability details is valuable."

"The SAST component was absolutely 100% stable."

"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."

"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."

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

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

"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 feature is that it actually identifies the different criteria you can set to meet whatever standards you're trying to get your system accredited for."

More Checkmarx One pros

"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."

Cons

"Checkmarx could improve by reducing the price."

"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."

"The cost per user is high and should be reduced."

"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."

"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."

"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."

"I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved."

More Checkmarx One cons

"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."

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

"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)."

"The solution is costly."

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

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

"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."

"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
