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

"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."
"The user interface is modern and nice to use."
"We were using HPE Security Fortify to scan code for security vulnerabilities, but it can scan only after a successful compile. If the code has dependencies or build errors, the scan fails. With Checkmarx, pre-compile scanning is seamless. This allows us to scan more code."
"Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."
"The solution is scalable, but other solutions are better."
"Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution."
"The only thing I like is that Checkmarx does not need to compile."
"The most valuable feature for me is the Jenkins Plugin."
"I have found the interface to be perfect."
"Can help in reducing the number of false positives."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the rate of false positives reduced."
"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 could improve the speed of the scans."
"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."
"In terms of dashboarding, the solution could provide a little more flexibility in terms of creating more dashboards. It has some of its own dashboards that come out of the box. However, if I have to implement my own dashboards that are aligned to my organization's requirements, that dashboarding feature has limited capability right now."
"Micro-services need to be included in the next release."
"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."
"Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"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

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s pricing is higher than others and it is for the license alone."
"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price is reasonable."
"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."
"Before implementing the product I would evaluate if it is really necessary to scan so many different languages and frameworks. If not, I think there must be a cheaper solution for scanning Java-only applications (which are 90% of our applications)."
"It is a good product but a little overpriced."
"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."
"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."
"It is the right price for quality delivery."
"Pricing can be improved as well."
