Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution.""The value you can get out of the speedy production may be worth the price tag.""The process of remediating software security vulnerabilities can now be performed (ongoing) as portions of the application are being built in advance of being compiled.""Vulnerability details is valuable.""The solution allows us to create custom rules for code checks.""The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations.""Helps us check vulnerabilities in our SAP Fiori application.""The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."

More Checkmarx One Pros →

"One of the most valuable features is their distributed scan model for allotting engines to work together as a pool and handle multiple scans at once, across multiple environments. Automatic scanning distribution is a distinguishing feature of their toolset.""The tool gives us fewer false positives. Compared to its competitors, the solution’s reports are more accurate.""Has a great advanced scanning feature.""Tenable.sc is user-friendly.""The solution has a lean and easy-to-use interface that is not confusing to first-time users.""This product has the best results in terms of the lowest number of false-positives and false-negatives.""Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR).""Compared to other products, the most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and ability to provide visibility over scan results while providing many templates to users, making it a helpful tool."

More Tenable Security Center Pros →

Cons
"This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization.""The lack of ability to review compiled source code. It would then be able to compete with other scanning tools, such as Veracode.""It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues.""The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers.""Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies.""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.""I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved.""I would like to see the DAST solution in the future."

More Checkmarx One Cons →

"The solution should provide better web application features and support.""Support could be faster.""The solution should include compliance-based scanning.""The solution needs to improve its support. I would like to see a bird's eye view of my network architecture. I would also like to see the continuous view feature in the tool.""The solution is expensive.""The product should provide risk-based vulnerability management.""We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with""At times we have had the typical bugs."

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)."
  • More Checkmarx One Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is slightly more expensive than other solutions in the same sphere."
  • "We're able to save because we don't have to employ more staff members to help wit ht he scheduling of the scans, running the reports or sending them out to the systems owners. That alone is a big ROI for us."
  • "The licensing costs for this solution are approximately $100,000 US, and I think that covers everything."
  • "The pricing is more than Nexpose."
  • "Costing is pretty reasonable compared to the competition."
  • "We're a Fortune 500 company... our licensing costs [are] in the seven figures."
  • "We pay around 60,000 on a yearly basis."
  • "The price can start at €10,000 ($13,000 USD) for between 500 and 1,000 assets, and the price can climb into the millions as more assets are added."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Checkmarx stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its ability to enable developers to secure their code with a single management dashboard and its high-speed scanning abilities.

    PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A CEO at a tech services company writes, “The most valuable features are the easy-to-understand interface, and it’s very user-friendly. We spend some time tuning to start scanning a new project, which is only a few clicks. A few simple tunes for custom rules and we can start our scan. We can do the work quickly and we don't need to compile the source code because Checkmarx does the work without compiling the project. The scanning is very quick. It's about 20,000 lines per hour, which is a good speed for scanning.”

    A director at a tech services company notes, “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.”

    A senior manager at a manufacturing company writes, “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."

    Get a risk-based view of your IT, security and compliance posture so you can quickly identify, investigate and prioritize your most critical assets and vulnerabilities.

    Managed on-premises and powered by Nessus technology, the Tenable Security Center (formerly Tenable.sc) suite of products provides the industry’s most comprehensive vulnerability coverage with real-time continuous assessment of your network. It’s your complete end-to-end vulnerability management solution.
