Featured Reviews

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.
Jos Badimo - PeerSpot reviewer
Test assurance improves compliance and products with good performance
The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation. The most significant issue I encounter with the solution is the user interface. It would be beneficial if I could remain on one screen most of the time. Even if the system navigates me to another screen, it should effectively return me to the main screen.

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 features of Checkmarx are the SCA module and the code-checking module. Additionally, the solutions are explanatory and helpful."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"I like that you don't have to compile the code in order to execute static code analysis. So, it's very handy."
"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."
"The main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use. It's easy to initiate scans and triage defects."
"The UI is very intuitive and simple to use."
"Checkmarx pinpoints the vulnerability in the code and also presents the flow of malicious input across the application."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the automation and information that it provides in the reports."
"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."
"CyberFlood is flexible."
"CyberFlood's best features are its user-friendliness and scheduling function."
"Our customers use it to check for unauthorized file transfer."
"The feature I find most valuable is the traffic generator."
"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."
 

Cons

"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."
"Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues."
"Licensing models and Swift language support are the aspects in which this product needs to improve. Swift is a new language, in which major customers require support for lower prices."
"Meta data is always needed."
"I would like to see the DAST solution in the future."
"As the solution becomes more complex and feature rich, it takes more time to debug and resolve problems. Feature-wise, we have no complaints, but Checkmarx becomes harder to maintain as the product becomes more complex. When I talk to support, it takes them longer to fix the problem than it used to."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model."
"Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software."
"I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule."
"The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation."
"The initial setup is not straightforward and can be quite challenging."
"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better."
"Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."
"The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For around 250 users or committers, the cost is approximately $500,000."
"It is an expensive solution."
"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)."
"We have a subscription license that is on a yearly basis, and it's a pretty competitive solution."
"I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."
"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."
"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."
"It's relatively expensive."
"CyberFlood is reasonably priced."
