Enable secure development workflows while identifying opportunities for faster scans and improved AI guidance
Checkmarx One is a very strong platform, but there are several areas where it can improve to support modern DevSecOps workflows even better. For example, better real-time developer guidance is needed. The IDE plugin should offer richer AI-powered auto-fixes similar to SNYK Code or GitHub Copilot Security, as current guidance is good but not deeply contextual for large-scale enterprise codebases. This matters because it reduces developer friction and accelerates shift-left adoption. More transparency control over the correlation engines is another need. The correlation engine is powerful but not fully transparent. Users want to understand why vulnerabilities were correlated or de-prioritized, which helps AppSec teams trust the prioritization logic. Faster SAST scan and more language coverage is needed since SAST scan can still be slow for very large mono-repos and there is limited deep support for new language frameworks like Rust and Go, along with advanced coverage for serverless-specific frameworks. This matters because large organizations want sub-minute scans in CI/CD as cloud-native ecosystems evolve fast. A strong API security module is another area for enhancement. API security scanning could be improved with active testing, API discovery, full Swagger, OpenAPI, drift detection, and schema-based fuzzing. This is important as API attacks are one of the biggest AppSec risks in 2025. Checkmarx One is strong, but I see a few areas for improvement including faster SAST scanning for large mono-repos, deeper language framework support, more transparent correlation logic, and stronger API security that includes discovery and runtime context. The IDE plugin could offer more AI-assisted fixes, and the SBOM lifecycle tracking can evolve further. Enhancing integration with SIEM and SOAR would also make enterprise adoption smoother, and these improvements would help developers and AppSec teams move faster with more accuracy.

Protection has secured our mobile algorithms and now testing guidelines need improvement
The best features DoveRunner Mobile Application Security offers include its simple integration, which is basically a pipeline, making it a plug-and-play type of approach that automatically takes care of all the heavy work. Regarding how the automatic protection works, I appreciate the simplicity of this particular SDK, as I just need to integrate it using Xcode directly and use CocoaPods to install it in applications, which simplifies the security layers along with all the signing and submission of the application to the App Store. DoveRunner Mobile Application Security has positively impacted my organization so far by alleviating a constant fear that our proprietary algorithms or shaders might be leaked, which could affect our application's revenue, and we are optimistic about achieving secure integration after launching in production.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The reports are very good because they include details on the code level, and make suggestions about how to fix the problems."
"The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all."
"Initial setup couldn't be any easier; Checkmarx has good documentation on environment requirements, and as long as you meet those, the installation process takes maybe 30 minutes for an initial setup, perhaps a bit longer if you're adding multiple engines."
"Security can be part of the SDLC and reduce the cost of vulnerability remediation."
"They have some of the best features which make the product wonderful."
"Checkmarx is a powerful scanning tool, and it’s essential to have one of these products to build a safe and stable application when it comes to inviting customers to use your online services."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are its integration with multiple SCM solutions and CICD tools, its ability to scale according to user licenses, and the quick scanning process."
"It is a stable product."
"After exploring DoveRunner Mobile Application Security, I can say that you are getting everything on a single platform."
"DoveRunner Mobile Application Security has positively impacted my organization so far by alleviating a constant fear that our proprietary algorithms or shaders might be leaked, which could affect our application's revenue, and we are optimistic about achieving secure integration after launching in production."
 

Cons

"It could be improved with more reporting of false positives and the understanding of file references."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Presently they support micro-services, but the supporting methodology of the micro-services is not good enough at the moment."
"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."
"The Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) feature should be better."
"Some were valid and some were not applicable for us based on the scenario."
"The solution sometimes reports a false auditable code or false positive."
"From an administrative standpoint, I would rate Checkmarx with a five out of ten."
"I think improved guidelines could be added regarding testing on the security aspect."
"As I am in the exploration phase of DoveRunner Mobile Application Security, I chose a rating of eight."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is costly."
"The number of users and coverage for languages will have an impact on the cost of the license."
"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s pricing is higher than others and it is for the license alone."
"​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."
"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."
"This solution is expensive. The customized package allows you to buy additional users at any time."
"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."
"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."
