Partner experiences excellent technical support and seamless initial setup
In my opinion, if we are able to extract or show the report, and because everything is going towards agent tech and GenAI, it would be beneficial if it could get integrated with our code base and do the fix automatically. It could suggest how the code base is written and automatically populate the source code with three different solution options to choose from. This would be really helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."
"The user interface is excellent. It's very user friendly."
"Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution."
"We use the solution to validate the source code and do SAST and security analysis."
"Vulnerability details is valuable."
"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 for me is the Jenkins Plugin."
"The most important competitive advantage and benefit is the ability to identify vulnerabilities in the source code immediately without needing to complete the coding."
"The most important feature is that Checkmarx protects our company against attacks."
"The most important feature is that Checkmarx protects our company against attacks."
 

Cons

"I would like the product to include more debugging and developed tools. It needs to also add enhancements on the coding side."
"Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software."
"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."
"Checkmarx could improve by reducing the price."
"I can't create a business case with multiple-factor authentication."
"The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode."
"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"The tool is currently quite static in terms of finding security vulnerabilities. It would be great if it was more dynamic and we had even more tools at our disposal to keep us safe. It would help if there was more scanning or if the process was more automated."
"We had some issues where Checkmarx did not recognize a vulnerability. We had to talk with the vendor, and they had to include an improvement in the tool to resolve this issue."
"The on-premises version is more expensive compared to the cloud version."
"We had some issues where Checkmarx did not recognize a vulnerability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For around 250 users or committers, the cost is approximately $500,000."
"We have a subscription license that is on a yearly basis, and it's a pretty competitive solution."
"The price of Checkmarx could be reduced to match their competitors, it is expensive."
"The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."
"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."
"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."
"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."
"The tool's pricing is fine."
