Rohit Kesharwani - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It shows in-depth code of where actual vulnerabilities are."
"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."
"It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."
"It has all the features we need."
"We use the solution for dynamic application testing."
"The most valuable feature is the simple user interface."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the Best Fix Location and the Payments option because you can save a lot of time trying to mitigate the configuration. Using these tools can save you a lot of time."
"The most valuable features are the easy to understand interface, and it 's very user-friendly."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
 

Cons

"The solution sometimes reports a false auditable code or false positive."
"The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode."
"Integration into the SDLC (i.e. support for last version of SonarQube) could be added."
"The Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) feature should be better."
"They could work to improve the user interface. Right now, it really is lacking."
"The statistics module has a function that allows you to show some statistics, but I think it's limited. Maybe it needs more information."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it seems outdated."
"Meta data is always needed."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got a special offer for a 30% reduction for three years, after our first year. I think for a real source-code scanning tool, you have to add a lot of money for Open Source Analysis, and AppSec Coach (160 Euro per user per year)."
"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price is reasonable."
"The solution's price is high and you pay based on the number of users."
"Be cautious of the one-year subscription date. Once it expires, your price will go up."
"This solution is expensive. The customized package allows you to buy additional users at any time."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s pricing is higher than others and it is for the license alone."
"The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."
"If you want more, you have to pay more. You have to pay for additional modules or functionalities."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
