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.

Integrated workflows have transformed security reviews and provide end-to-end risk visibility
The best features that Ox Security offers include real-time visibility and actionable intelligence. Also, I love the intuitive interface and seamless integrations. Regarding the features of Ox Security, I love the pipeline functionality, which allows the creation of customized workflows based on scan results, making prevention and notification processes highly adaptable. I also love the visibility it provides, which is end-to-end security visibility covering the entire development lifecycle from code writing and storage to security testing, deployment, and infrastructure management. I also love its powerful pipeline system, which enables us to automate notifications to relevant teams based on issue origin and type while also enforcing security policies by blocking new code when prohibited issue types are detected. The intuitive interface makes it easy to pinpoint vulnerabilities early, prioritize critical issues, and streamline remediation processes. The seamless integration with existing DevOps tools ensures that security insights flow naturally into development workflows without creating bottlenecks. I also love the real-time visibility and actionable intelligence. It fosters a security-first mindset, boosting both the confidence of my development team and the overall resilience of our applications. Regarding Ox Security's AI capabilities, I find its governance and security capabilities to be very strong, particularly in helping us identify risks and maintaining visibility across the software development process. I also value the focus on data protection, access control, and responsible use of AI. The AI capabilities are generally accurate and reliable, especially in helping us identify vulnerabilities and highlighting potential risks very easily. They help us reduce manual effort and speed up security reviews.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."
"As an InfoSec consulting company, we come across major challenging projects, and Checkmarx has made life easy by reducing manual efforts in using test cases against any vulnerability found during source code reviews while intelligently finding the latest vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten."
"We use the solution for dynamic application testing."
"Security can be part of the SDLC and reduce the cost of vulnerability remediation."
"We have been using this product extensively for a lot of applications to identify as well as employ proper remediation which makes the application secure including information issues which might get neglected with a manual code review process."
"I have seen a return on investment from Checkmarx One."
"The product's most valuable feature is static code and supply chain effect analysis. It provides a lot of visibility."
"The visibility the solution gives you is great; it really gives you the ability to see what the root issues in the code actually are."
"Ox Security has positively impacted my organization by helping to reduce the amount of noise we received from vulnerabilities because of the prioritization scoring it has and all of the context it provides."
"The seamless integration with existing DevOps tools ensures that security insights flow naturally into development workflows without creating bottlenecks."
"As a service provider, I believe the biggest advantage of Ox Security is its simplicity and the clarity of the issues, along with a very good dashboard showing the state of the company."
 

Cons

"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"The stability of Checkmarx could improve. We're having issues with it, and the scan reliability is sometimes impacted so we sometimes have to restart the services to allow scans out of the queue."
"There are some downtimes when Checkmarx One is being upgraded to the latest version or some improvement is there."
"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."
"There is nothing particular that I don't like in this solution. It can have more integrations, but the integrations that we would like are in the roadmap anyway, and they just need to deliver the roadmap. What I like about the roadmap is that it is going where it needs to go. If I were to look at the roadmap, there is nothing that is jumping out there that says to me, "Yeah. I'd like something else on the roadmap." What they're looking to deliver is what I would expect and forecast them to deliver."
"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."
"They could work to improve the user interface. Right now, it really is lacking."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model."
"One area that Ox Security could improve is the dashboard customization and reporting."
"My overall review rating for Ox Security is zero."
"The main pain point I have with Ox Security as a tool is the user interface, which can feel quite complex when navigating large datasets."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."
"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."
"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 price of Checkmarx could be reduced to match their competitors, it is expensive."
"It is not expensive, but sometimes, their pricing model or licensing model is not very clear. There are similar variables, such as projects or developers, and sometimes, it is a little bit confusing."
"We got a special offer for a 30% reduction for three years, after our first year. I think for a real source-code scanning tool, you have to add a lot of money for Open Source Analysis, and AppSec Coach (160 Euro per user per year)."
"It is the right price for quality delivery."
"​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."
