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."With the solution, we managed to obtain complete comprehensive visibility of the entire environment in the cloud, thus having better control of each of the resources."
"On the endpoint side, the most valuable feature is undoubtedly the cloud-based management capability, along with the ransomware protection, despite not encountering any instances so far."
"The first valuable feature is that it is not a complex process to get it up and running. It was not complex at all. We were in a close relationship with the team that developed the app, and it worked in a few hours. The second valuable feature is the information that comes out of it."
"It is a highly scalable solution with a quick turnaround time for deployment and running of the software across any IT system."
"The solution's strongest point is that you can connect everything to it, giving you a full view of what's connected."
"It offers high performance and improved productivity for users."
"The tool helps us to block IPs and applications."
"The app control is very sensitive, and the threat detection and prevention is better than other Check Point solutions. There is a centralized management console for threat protection and self-inspection."
"The process of remediating software security vulnerabilities can now be performed (ongoing) as portions of the application are being built in advance of being compiled."
"The main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete."
"Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle."
"The user interface is excellent. It's very user friendly."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"The solution is scalable, but other solutions are better."
"The most valuable feature for me is the Jenkins Plugin."
"The reports are very good because they include details on the code level, and make suggestions about how to fix the problems."
"CloudGuard for Application Security, like the other Check Point applications, has been presenting major latency problems when entering their administrative portal."
"I have faced issues with the tool's blocking aspects. It is hard to open or block web services due to the multitude of cloud centers. I have to do the process manually at times. We have a bug which is hard to solve."
"The documentation of each of the tools that they offer needs to be better."
"They should improve in the delivery of more detailed reports with more information."
"We would like to have a solution of this type for the administration of applications from mobile devices."
"CloudGuard could improve in areas such as ease of integration with Fortinet and reducing costs associated with deployment in cloud environments like Azure."
"I would like to be able to integrate the theme of Artificial Intelligence to help review issues and to monitor and view the security issue while also suggesting and interpreting and additionally configuring solutions - basically, acting as an interpreter."
"I do not know if it is already there, but I would like to have complete visibility between the posture management and firewall as a service."
"Creating and editing custom rules in Checkmarx is difficult because the license for the editor comes at an additional cost, and there is a steep learning curve."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model."
"Checkmarx needs to improve the false positives and provide more accuracy in identifying vulnerabilities. It misses important vulnerabilities."
"The resolutions should also be provided. For example, if the user faces any problem regarding an installation due to the internal security policies of their company, there should be a resolution offered."
"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."
"We have received some feedback from our customers who are receiving a large number of false positives."
"I expect application security vendors to cover all aspects of application security, including SAST, DAST, and even mobile application security testing. And it would be much better if they provided an on-premises and cloud option for all these main application security features."
"Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues."
