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.
Murali Krishnan L - PeerSpot reviewer

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 difficult to pinpoint because of the way the functionalities and the features are intertwined, it's difficult to say which part of them I prefer most. You initiate the scan, you have a scan, you have the review set, and reporting, they all work together as one whole process. It's not like accounting software, where you have the different features, et cetera."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"The reports are very good because they include details on the code level, and make suggestions about how to fix the problems."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"Overall, the ability to find vulnerabilities in the code is better than the tool that we were using before."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."
"Both automatic and manual code review (CxQL) are valuable."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"Checkmarx could improve by reducing the price."
"The solution sometimes reports a false auditable code or false positive."
"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."
"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."
"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 could be improved with more integration with third-party software."
"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."
"Checkmarx needs improvement in its Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and API security features."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Most of my customers opted for a perpetual license. They prefer to pay the highest amount up front for the perpetual license and then pay for additional support annually."
"It is a good product but a little overpriced."
"The tool's pricing is fine."
"Its price is fair. It is in or around the right spot. Ultimately, if the price is wrong, customers won't commit, but they do tend to commit. It is neither too cheap nor too expensive."
"This solution is expensive. The customized package allows you to buy additional users at any time."
"The solution is costly."
"The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."
"For around 250 users or committers, the cost is approximately $500,000."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
