Enable secure development workflows while identifying opportunities for faster scans and improved AI guidance

Checkmarx One is a very strong platform, but there are several areas where it can improve to support modern DevSecOps workflows even better. For example, better real-time developer guidance is needed. The IDE plugin should offer richer AI-powered auto-fixes similar to SNYK Code or GitHub Copilot Security, as current guidance is good but not deeply contextual for large-scale enterprise codebases. This matters because it reduces developer friction and accelerates shift-left adoption. More transparency control over the correlation engines is another need. The correlation engine is powerful but not fully transparent. Users want to understand why vulnerabilities were correlated or de-prioritized, which helps AppSec teams trust the prioritization logic. Faster SAST scan and more language coverage is needed since SAST scan can still be slow for very large mono-repos and there is limited deep support for new language frameworks like Rust and Go, along with advanced coverage for serverless-specific frameworks. This matters because large organizations want sub-minute scans in CI/CD as cloud-native ecosystems evolve fast. A strong API security module is another area for enhancement. API security scanning could be improved with active testing, API discovery, full Swagger, OpenAPI, drift detection, and schema-based fuzzing. This is important as API attacks are one of the biggest AppSec risks in 2025. Checkmarx One is strong, but I see a few areas for improvement including faster SAST scanning for large mono-repos, deeper language framework support, more transparent correlation logic, and stronger API security that includes discovery and runtime context. The IDE plugin could offer more AI-assisted fixes, and the SBOM lifecycle tracking can evolve further. Enhancing integration with SIEM and SOAR would also make enterprise adoption smoother, and these improvements would help developers and AppSec teams move faster with more accuracy.

Useful for risk assessment and has customization capability

The tool helps us with security incidents, policies, business continuity, disaster recovery, and internal audits. The feature I like the most is its customization capability. It acts like a blank canvas where you can construct forms and workflows according to your needs. You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options. The solution has impacted our operations by helping us manage and prioritize environmental risks. It also assists in establishing ownership of risks and enables us to mitigate or mediate existing risks. Additionally, it facilitates tracking risks throughout their entire lifecycle.

Helps ensure that third-party libraries we're using are safe, but the scanning process can be more streamlined

It is somewhat complex compared to Fortify. As a Fortify user for almost five years, I find Veracode complex, but others in my team who have used it for eight to nine years don't find such issues. When we were doing manual scans before CI/CD integration, it was easier. It took approximately four to five months to onboard the solution because it was new to developers as well. There was a certain process to be followed to get access and integrate it into the CI/CD tools. We had to explain the report format to them, showing where they could find vulnerabilities and how they could fix the code, including finding safer versions of libraries and dependencies. This took almost half of 2023, and now in 2025, they do not need our help except for technical problems when there are numerous scans in the pipeline.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the Jenkins Plugin."

"Checkmarx is a nice, pleasant, and relatively easy company to work with."

"It can integrate very well with DAST solutions, so both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."

"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 features of Checkmarx are the Best Fix Location and the Payments option because you can save a lot of time trying to mitigate the configuration. Using these tools can save you a lot of time."

"In my opinion, Checkmarx gives better results, and its protection is better than SonarQube."

"It is a stable product."

"The administration in Checkmarx is very good."

More Checkmarx One pros

"The tool helps us with security incidents, policies, business continuity, disaster recovery, and internal audits. The feature I like the most is its customization capability. It acts like a blank canvas where you can construct forms and workflows according to your needs. You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options."

"The centralized view of different testing types helps reduce our risk exposure. The development teams have the freedom to choose their own libraries and languages. What happens is sometimes developers feel like a particular library is okay to use, then they will start using it, developing some functionality around it. However, as per our mandate, for every new repository that gets added and scanned, a report gets published. Based on that report, we decide if we can continue. In the past, we have found, by mistake, some developers have used copyleft licenses, which are a bit risky to use. We immediately replace these with more permissive, open-source licenses, so we are safe in the end."

"The most valuable feature of Veracode is the binary scan feature for auditing, which allows us to audit the software without the source code."

"Veracode's integration with our continuous integration solution is what I've found to be the most valuable feature. It is easy to connect the two and to run scans in an automated way without needing as much manual intervention."

"The security team can track the remediation and risk acceptance statistics."

"The best feature of Veracode is that we can do static and dynamic scans."

"All the top vulnerabilities are detected, which makes sure all our applications are up-to-date on market threats, and it gives a good workaround process for the developers to secure their code and ensure all our applications are secure."

"I like the way the flaws are reported in the system."

"The rate at which we gained control of our security posture, from a development perspective, was fast."

More Veracode pros

Cons

"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."

"Checkmarx One is often down when the cloud provider experiences issues. A more fail-tolerant solution needs to be created."

"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."

"The accessibility for customized Checkmarx rules is currently limited and should be improved."

"I can't create a business case with multiple-factor authentication."

"Checkmarx needs improvement in its Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and API security features."

"I expect application security vendors to cover all aspects of application security, including SAST, DAST, and even mobile application security testing."

"I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved."

More Checkmarx One cons

"We think there's room for improvement, especially with customizing NAVEX One. Their development on the roadmap can be slow."

"On-premise implementation is not available."

"The user interface could be more sleek. Some scanning requirements aren't flexible. Some features take some time for new users to understand (like what exactly "modules" are)."

"It would be better if we had a channel for direct communication with the engineering team to speed up the process of providing feedback."

"I would like Veracode to also have the ability to fix these flaws in a future release."

"Sometimes, I get feedback from a developer saying, "They are scanning a Python code, but getting feedback around Java code." While the remediation and guidelines are there, improvement is still required, e.g., you won't get the exact guidelines, but you can get some sort of a high-level insights."

"It does nearly everything, but penetration testing."

"It would be nice if Veracode were bundled with some preferred vendors like Salesforce and offered at a discount."

"I don't have the on-platform flexibility to sort and filter inspection data, and that's not good."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."

"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."

"I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."

"Its price is fair. It is in or around the right spot. Ultimately, if the price is wrong, customers won't commit, but they do tend to commit. It is neither too cheap nor too expensive."

"This solution is expensive. The customized package allows you to buy additional users at any time."

"It is an expensive solution."

"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."

"We have purchased an annual license to use this solution. The price is reasonable."

More Checkmarx One pricing and cost advice

"NAVEX One's pricing comes in the middle range when compared to other products."

"I think licensing needs to be changed or updated so that it works with adjustments. Pricing is expensive compared to the amount of scanning we perform."

"The pricing and licensing are reasonable, and relatively straightforward, and different licensing and subscription models are available."

"It's very expensive, especially when you are a very small organization. If you're using Veracode at an individual level, for example, you're a developer or you run agents, the pricing might not affect you, but if you're using it at a company level to troubleshoot security issues, the pricing is not quite favorable. It may affect ROI."

"It is very reasonably priced compared to what we were paying our previous vendor. For the same price, we are getting much more value and reducing our AppSec costs from 40 to 50 percent."

"I don't have firsthand knowledge of Veracode pricing, but based on client feedback, it seems to be expensive with additional fees for certain features."

"The licensing and prices were upfront and clear. They stand behind everything that is said during the commercial phase and during the onboarding phase. Even the most irrelevant "that can be done" was delivered, no matter how important the request was."

"If I compare the pricing with other software tools, then it is quite competitive. Whatever the price is, they have always given us a good discount."

"The pricing is pretty high."
