Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The value you can get out of the speedy production may be worth the price tag.""The setup is very easy. There is a lot of information in the documents which makes the install not difficult at all.""The report function is the solution's greatest asset.""The most valuable features are the easy to understand interface, and it 's very user-friendly.""The solution is scalable, but other solutions are better.""Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle.""The reports are very good because they include details on the code level, and make suggestions about how to fix the problems.""It shows in-depth code of where actual vulnerabilities are."

More Checkmarx One Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically feed it rules what it's coupled with the WebInspect dynamic application scanning technology.""We are able to provide out customers with a secure application after development. They are no longer left wondering if they are vulnerable to different threats within the market following deployment.""The tool's most valuable feature is software composition analysis. This feature works well with my .NET applications, providing a better understanding of library vulnerabilities.""I find the configuration of rules in Fortify Application Defender useful. Its integration is also easy.""Fortify Application Defender's most valuable features are machine learning algorithms, real-time remediation, and automatic vulnerability notifications.""The most valuable features of Fortify Application Defender are the code packages that are default.""The most valuable feature is that it analyzes data in real-time.""The product saves us cost and time."

More Fortify Application Defender Pros →

"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed.""We could manage our entire IP range with the solution.""Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."

Cons
"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans.""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).""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.""It provides us with quite a handful of false positive issues. If Checkmarx could reduce this number, it would be a great tool to use.""I would like to see the rate of false positives reduced.""The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode.""The plugins for the development environment have room for improvements such as for Android Studio and X code.""Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues."

More Checkmarx One Cons →

"Fortify Application Defender could improve by supporting more code languages, such as GRAAS and Groovy.""Support for older compilers/IDEs is lacking.""The false positive rate should be lower.""The workbench is a little bit complex when you first start using it.""Fortify Application Defender gives a lot of false positives.""The licensing can be a little complex.""The biggest complaint that I have heard concerns additional platform support because right now, it only supports applications that are written in .NET and Java.""The solution is quite expensive."

More Fortify Application Defender Cons →

"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running.""I am not very impressed by the technical support.""The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is the right price for quality delivery."
  • "I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."
  • "The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."
  • "The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."
  • "It is a good product but a little overpriced."
  • "The license has a vague language around P1 issues and the associated support. Make sure to review these in order to align them with your organizational policies."
  • "​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."
  • "We got a special offer for a 30% reduction for three years, after our first year. I think for a real source-code scanning tool, you have to add a lot of money for Open Source Analysis, and AppSec Coach (160 Euro per user per year)."
  • More Checkmarx One Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The base licensing costs for the SaaS platform is about $900 USD per application, per year."
  • "The price of this solution could be less expensive."
  • "The licensing is very complex, it's project based and can range from $10,000 to $200,000+ depending on the project type and size."
  • "Fortify Application Defender is very expensive."
  • "The product’s price is much higher than other tools."
  • "I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten. It comes as an annual cloud subscription. The tool's pricing is around 50 lakhs."

    • Open-source security for infrastructure as code: Identify and fix insecure IaC configurations that put your application at risk.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Checkmarx stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to enable developers to secure their code with a single management dashboard and its high-speed scanning abilities.

    PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A CEO at a tech services company writes, “The most valuable features are the easy-to-understand interface, and it’s very user-friendly. We spend some time tuning to start scanning a new project, which is only a few clicks. A few simple tunes for custom rules and we can start our scan. We can do the work quickly and we don't need to compile the source code because Checkmarx does the work without compiling the project. The scanning is very quick. It's about 20,000 lines per hour, which is a good speed for scanning.”

    A director at a tech services company notes, “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.”

    A senior manager at a manufacturing company writes, “The identification of verification-related security vulnerabilities is really important and one of the key things. It also identifies vulnerabilities for any kind of third-party tool coming into the system or any third-party tools that you are using, which is very useful for avoiding random hacking."

    Micro Focus Security Fortify Application Defender is a runtime application self-protection (RASP) solution that helps you manage and mitigate risk from homegrown or third-party applications. It provides centralized visibility into application use and abuse while protecting from software vulnerability exploits and other violations in real time.

    Tripwire IP360 is a powerful vulnerability management solution that identifies and prioritizes network vulnerabilities for remediation. It is highly effective in scanning devices and applications, improving security posture, ensuring compliance, and managing risks. 

    Users value its detailed reporting, user-friendly interface, and seamless integration with other security tools for efficient security management.
