Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution."
"The user interface is excellent. It's very user friendly."
"Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application."
"Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution."
"The main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the automation and information that it provides in the reports."
"The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities. It's one of the key features they provide that's an excellent selling point. They're always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database."
"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."
"Fortinet FortiWeb is priced well."
"It's easy to use and allows us to integrate solutions together."
"The GUI is user-friendly and it's easy to understand how to manage it."
"You have the ability to control everything from one single dashboard."
"We were able to protect our web servers from outside attacks."
"This product is very user-friendly."
"It's the extra security that is the most valuable feature. You have insight into your traffic. There are some great insights into what utilities hackers are trying to exploit. It blocks a lot of stuff from the internet."
"Also, if you serve files or you accept files with your server, Fortiweb has built-in antivirus. The Fortinet product family also provides good IP intelligence (botnet C&C, etc.)."
"We have received some feedback from our customers who are receiving a large number of false positives."
"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."
"Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement."
"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."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it seems outdated."
"The product's reporting feature could be better. The feature works well for developers, but reports generated to be shared with external parties are poor, it lacks the details one gets when viewing the results directly from the Checkmarx One platform."
"The integration could improve by including, for example, DevSecOps."
"The documentation for the machine learning could be better."
"It can be better with web application firewalls."
"The reporting could be optimized."
"Another area for improvement is logging. When troubleshooting, the logs sometimes take a while to update. We've had people report that some things aren't logged if they're successful. It's a bit hit-and-miss. For example, sometimes people access one of our services, and it's successful, but we don't see that in the logs."
"The dashboards are not that configurable. Application-specific dashboards can be improved. If we have 50 applications, there should be something to see what's happening with these 50 applications. There could be a graph or a consolidated alert page where all alerts are inbuilt. They have other products that I can use, but this feature should be built into FortiWeb."
"They can introduce a scaled-down version for the SMB market. It would be very competitive in the environment."
"When we look at the incident reports in the dashboard, they are available for a maximum duration of 24 hours. They should provide more time for the analysis and increase the duration of the availability of these reports. Currently, it gives the options for 5 minutes, 1 hour, and 24 hours. It would be excellent if there are more options for a longer time period. It may be configurable, but I don't know how to do it."
"Fortinet FortiWeb could improve data integration."
