Manager, Engineering at 7-Eleven

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like best about Checkmarx is that it has fewer false positives than other products, giving you better results."

"The solution improved the efficiency of our code security reviews. It helps tremendously because it finds hundreds of potential problems sometimes."

"Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle."

"The most valuable feature of Checkmarx is the user interface, it is very easy to use. We do not need to configure anything, we only have to scan to see the results."

"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."

"Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application."

"Vulnerability details is valuable."

"One of the most valuable features is it is flexible."

More Checkmarx One pros

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."

Cons

"Checkmarx has a slightly difficult compilation with the CI/CD pipeline."

"Its user interface could be improved and made more friendly."

"I think the CxAudit tool has room for improvement. At the beginning you can choose a scan of a project, but in any event the project must be scanned again (wasting time)."

"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."

"The product can be improved by continuing to expand the application languages and frameworks that can be scanned for vulnerabilities. This includes expanded coverage for mobile applications as well as open-source development tools."

"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."

"Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?"

More Checkmarx One cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is fine."

"The solution is costly."

"The price of Checkmarx could be reduced to match their competitors, it is expensive."

"We have a subscription license that is on a yearly basis, and it's a pretty competitive solution."

"The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."

"For around 250 users or committers, the cost is approximately $500,000."

"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."

"It is not expensive, but sometimes, their pricing model or licensing model is not very clear. There are similar variables, such as projects or developers, and sometimes, it is a little bit confusing."
