Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."The administration in Checkmarx is very good."
"The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities. It's one of the key features they provide that's an excellent selling point. They're always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"Checkmarx pinpoints the vulnerability in the code and also presents the flow of malicious input across the application."
"The value you can get out of the speedy production may be worth the price tag."
"The most valuable feature is that it actually identifies the different criteria you can set to meet whatever standards you're trying to get your system accredited for."
"Most valuable features include: ease of use, dashboard. interface and the ability to report."
"The product's most valuable feature is static code and supply chain effect analysis. It provides a lot of visibility."
"Whatever the test suit they give, it is intelligent. It will understand the protocol and it will generate the test cases based on the protocol: protocol, message sequence, protocol, message structure... Because of that, we can eliminate a lot of unwanted test cases, so we can execute the tests and complete them very quickly."
"The product is related to US usage with TLS contact fees, i.e. how more data center connections will help lower networking costs."
"We have found multiple issues in our embedded system network protocols, related to buffer overflow. We have reduced some of these issues."
"The resolutions should also be provided. For example, if the user faces any problem regarding an installation due to the internal security policies of their company, there should be a resolution offered."
"I expect application security vendors to cover all aspects of application security, including SAST, DAST, and even mobile application security testing. And it would be much better if they provided an on-premises and cloud option for all these main application security features."
"I really would like to integrate it as a service along with the SAP HANA Cloud Platform. It will then be easy to use it directly as a service."
"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"We have received some feedback from our customers who are receiving a large number of false positives."
"Its pricing model can be improved. Sometimes, it is a little complex to understand its pricing model."
"You can't use it in the continuous delivery pipeline because the scanning takes too much time."
"I would like the product to include more debugging and developed tools. It needs to also add enhancements on the coding side."
"Codenomicon Defensics should be more advanced for the testing sector. It should be somewhat easy and flexible to install."
"Sometimes, when we are testing embedded devices, when we trigger the test cases, the target will crash immediately. It is very difficult for us to identify the root cause of the crash because they do not provide sophisticated tools on the target side. They cover only the client-side application... They do not have diagnostic tools for the target side. Rather, they have them but they are very minimal and not very helpful."
"It does not support the complete protocol stack. There are some IoT protocols that are not supported and new protocols that are not supported."
