Syed Hasan - PeerSpot reviewer
Partner experiences excellent technical support and seamless initial setup
In my opinion, if we are able to extract or show the report, and because everything is going towards agent tech and GenAI, it would be beneficial if it could get integrated with our code base and do the fix automatically. It could suggest how the code base is written and automatically populate the source code with three different solution options to choose from. This would be really helpful.
FE
Protects problematic libraries; sorely lacking in customer services
Kiuwan lacks decent support, it's very bad. A couple of years ago an American company bought Kiuwan and support became non-existent. It's a big part of why we're looking to move to another product. We have questions regarding false positives and nobody responds to our tickets. They don't have any answers. If you're looking for a cheaper solution and don't require support, it might be okay, but a large end company that has a lot of questions about how the developers are programming will have trouble.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like best about Checkmarx is that it has fewer false positives than other products, giving you better results."
"One of the most valuable features is it is flexible."
"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."
"The main advantage of this solution is its centralized reporting functionality, which lets us track issues, then see and report on the priorities via a web portal."
"Checkmarx offers many valuable features, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Infrastructure as Code (IAC), Supply Chain Security, and API Security."
"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."
"It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."
"Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application."
"I have found the interface to be perfect."
"Can help in reducing the number of false positives."
 

Cons

"We want to have a holistic view of the portfolio-level dashboard and not just an individual technical project level."
"We would like to be able to run scans from our local system, rather than having to always connect to the product server, which is a longer process."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"I would like the product to include more debugging and developed tools. It needs to also add enhancements on the coding side."
"The cost per user is high and should be reduced."
"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."
"The interactive application security testing, or IAST, the interactive part where you're looking at an application that lives in a runtime environment on a server or virtual machine, needs improvement."
"The solution is great, but improvement is needed in the number of lines of code allowed, that is the capacity. Pricing can be improved as well."
"The solution has issues detecting intrusive methods."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Checkmarx is comparatively costlier than other products, which is why some of the customers feel reluctant to go for it, though performance-wise, Checkmarx can compete with other products."
"The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."
"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."
"For around 250 users or committers, the cost is approximately $500,000."
"We're using a commercial version of Checkmarx, and we paid for the solution for one year. The price is high and could be reduced."
"It is the right price for quality delivery."
"The solution's price is high and you pay based on the number of users."
"​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."
"Pricing can be improved as well."
