"The solution is scalable, but other solutions are better."
"Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."
"Checkmarx has helped us deliver more secure products. We are able to do static code analysis with the tool before shipping our code to production. When the integration is in the pipeline, this tool gives us early notifications on code fixes."
"What I like best about Checkmarx is that it has fewer false positives than other products, giving you better results."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the automation and information that it provides in the reports."
"The most valuable feature is the application tracking reporting."
"The setup is very easy. There is a lot of information in the documents which makes the install not difficult at all."
"The solution is able to detect a wide range of vulnerabilities. It's better at it than other products."
"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."
"Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."
"It is scalable and very easy to use."
"The solution's technical support was very helpful."
"The accuracy of its scans is great."
"I've found the centralized dashboard the most valuable. For the management, it helps a lot to have abilities at the central level."
"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."
"As the solution becomes more complex and feature rich, it takes more time to debug and resolve problems. Feature-wise, we have no complaints, but Checkmarx becomes harder to maintain as the product becomes more complex. When I talk to support, it takes them longer to fix the problem than it used to."
"This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization."
"Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues."
"The pricing can get a bit expensive, depending on the company's size."
"The statistics module has a function that allows you to show some statistics, but I think it's limited. Maybe it needs more information."
"Checkmarx being Windows only is a hindrance. Another problem is: why can't I choose PostgreSQL?"
"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."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
"Not sufficiently compatible with some of our systems."
"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."
"Fortify WebInspect's shortcoming stems from the fact that it is a very expensive product in Korea, which makes it difficult for its potential customers to introduce the product in their IT environment."
"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
