We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and GitHub Advanced Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most valuable features of Checkmarx are difficult to pinpoint because of the way the functionalities and the features are intertwined, it's difficult to say which part of them I prefer most. You initiate the scan, you have a scan, you have the review set, and reporting, they all work together as one whole process. It's not like accounting software, where you have the different features, et cetera."
"The product's most valuable feature is static code and supply chain effect analysis. It provides a lot of visibility."
"We use the solution to validate the source code and do SAST and security analysis."
"The solution improved the efficiency of our code security reviews. It helps tremendously because it finds hundreds of potential problems sometimes."
"The main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete."
"The user interface is modern and nice to use."
"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."
"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"The most valuable is the developer experience and the extensibility of the overall ecosystem."
"It ensures user passwords or sensitive information are not accidentally exposed in code or reports."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution as it can handle new applications along with the analysis part."
"The product's most valuable features are security scan, dependency scan, and cost-effectiveness."
"GitHub provides advanced security, which is why the customers choose this tool; it allows them to rely solely on GitHub as one platform for everything they need."
"Dependency scanning is a valuable feature."
"I really would like to integrate it as a service along with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform. It will then be easy to use it directly as a service."
"If it is a very large code base then we have a problem where we cannot scan it."
"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model."
"Some of the descriptions were found to be missing or were not as elaborate as compared to other descriptions. Although, they could be found across various standard sources but it would save a lot of time for developers, if this was fixed."
"Meta data is always needed."
"I would like the product to include more debugging and developed tools. It needs to also add enhancements on the coding side."
"Updating and debugging of queries is not very convenient."
"The deployment part of the product is an area of concern that needs to be made easier from an improvement perspective."
"The customizations are a little bit difficult."
"The report limitations are the main issue."
"There could be DST features included in the product."
"A more refined approach, categorizing and emphasizing specific vulnerabilities, would be beneficial."
"There could be a centralized dashboard to view reports of all the projects on one platform."
