We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) 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."Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that its number of false positives is less than the other security application platforms. Its ease of use is another good feature. It also supports most of the languages."
"The solution has good performance, it is able to compute in 10 to 15 minutes."
"Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution."
"Checkmarx has helped us deliver more secure products. We are able to do static code analysis with the tool before shipping our code to production. When the integration is in the pipeline, this tool gives us early notifications on code fixes."
"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."
"Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application."
"Currently, it's distributing the load perfectly, as per my understanding of our requirements."
"One of the best features of the solution is the operating system."
"We like the capability to combine the content switching with the intrusion prevention and adding the security roles, so we can expose certain sub-pieces outside without exposing everything."
"The F5 GTM/BIGIP DNS (Global Traffic Manager) is a valuable feature. This feature allows for DNS load balancing, which means that high availability and load sharing can be done across services locally, as well as across datacenters with advanced capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the F5 LTM (Local Traffic Manager). This is the part of the product most organisations will be using most. It provides the core functionality to be able to load balance services and the means and the intelligence to be able to load balance based on advanced logic, e.g., TCL scripting."
"We always use technical support and the team helps us very well. They're able to effectively find and fix issues and they respond very quickly."
"Where we are finding the AWS version helpful is when we are trying to scale up new environments. AWS Marketplace helps here a lot."
"It has made it a single entry point for all users, verging across all the VPCs. It is more of an SSO solution versus multitier user loggin."
"C, C++, VB and T-SQL are not supported by this product. Although, C and C++ were advertised as being supported."
"They can support the remaining languages that are currently not supported. They can also create a different model that can identify zero-day attacks. They can work on different patterns to identify and detect zero-day vulnerability attacks."
"Its user interface could be improved and made more friendly."
"The pricing can get a bit expensive, depending on the company's size."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Meta data is always needed."
"Not everything is intuitive."
"The synchronization does works fairly well. However, if I were to make changes, I would make it easier to start the sync process."
"For a future release, I would like to see more features in the cloud."
"A more intuitive interface would be helpful."
"I would like them to expand load balancing, being able to go across multiple regions to on-premise and into the cloud. This could use improvement, as it is sometimes a little cumbersome."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would expect more integration with different platforms and more integration with the backend systems. Additionally, in the next release, I would like a more secure version."
"The solution is scalable."
"I would like F5 to incorporate the ability to create your own custom roles and customised permissions within the product set. I have seen many customers wanting to give a certain level of access for the purposes of out-of-hours servicing to out-of-hours staff or teams that fulfill an operations type role."
