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

"Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application."
"The user interface is modern and nice to use."
"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"Overall, the ability to find vulnerabilities in the code is better than the tool that we were using before."
"The most valuable feature is the simple user interface."
"The main advantage of this solution is its centralized reporting functionality, which lets us track issues, then see and report on the priorities via a web portal."
"The most valuable feature for me is the Jenkins Plugin."
"The setup is very easy. There is a lot of information in the documents which makes the install not difficult at all."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
 

Cons

"The interactive application security testing, or IAST, the interactive part where you're looking at an application that lives in a runtime environment on a server or virtual machine, needs improvement."
"I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved."
"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"I would like to see the rate of false positives reduced."
"Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?"
"Checkmarx needs to improve the false positives and provide more accuracy in identifying vulnerabilities. It misses important vulnerabilities."
"The cost per user is high and should be reduced."
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"​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."
"I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."
"It is the right price for quality delivery."
"This solution is expensive. The customized package allows you to buy additional users at any time."
"Most of my customers opted for a perpetual license. They prefer to pay the highest amount up front for the perpetual license and then pay for additional support annually."
"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."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
