Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Most valuable features include: ease of use, dashboard. interface and the ability to report.""The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions).""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 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.""What I like best about Checkmarx is that it has fewer false positives than other products, giving you better results.""The only thing I like is that Checkmarx does not need to compile.""Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution.""Vulnerability details is valuable."

"Maybe there are some remediation steps on the website, we can mask sensitive information on the website better.""The product is easy to use.""The most valuable feature of Pentera is that you can do continuous vulnerability assessment, which is automated.""The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great.""What I like the most about Pentera is its solution-oriented approach."

Cons
"Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues.""I think the CxAudit tool has room for improvement. At the beginning you can choose a scan of a project, but in any event the project must be scanned again (wasting time).""Checkmarx needs to improve the false positives and provide more accuracy in identifying vulnerabilities. It misses important vulnerabilities.""I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved.""If it is a very large code base then we have a problem where we cannot scan it.""Implementing a blackout time for any user or teams: Needs improvement.""The product can be improved by continuing to expand the application languages and frameworks that can be scanned for vulnerabilities. This includes expanded coverage for mobile applications as well as open-source development tools.""Its user interface could be improved and made more friendly."

More Checkmarx One Cons →

"The price could be improved.""Pentera's general dashboards could be improved and made more specific in terms of vulnerabilities that I'm discovering.""Maybe scalability. I know that the Pentera right now is high level in order to scan big deals over 500 IPs and not less, and not less. That can be more granular. This will be useful.""There is room for improvement in virtualization compatibility.""The vulnerability scanner, exploit achievements, and remediation actions are all great."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is the right price for quality delivery."
  • "I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."
  • "The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."
  • "The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."
  • "It is a good product but a little overpriced."
  • "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."
  • "​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."
  • "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)."

  • "We have to pay a yearly licensing cost for Pentera."
  • "It's not that expensive, but it could be more cost-effective."
