Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature for me is the Jenkins Plugin."
"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 main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use. It's easy to initiate scans and triage defects."
"The solution allows us to create custom rules for code checks."
"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."
"We were using HPE Security Fortify to scan code for security vulnerabilities, but it can scan only after a successful compile. If the code has dependencies or build errors, the scan fails. With Checkmarx, pre-compile scanning is seamless. This allows us to scan more code."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"Less false positive errors as compared to any other solution."
"The configurability of the tools and the ease of operation to be the most valuable feature of Imperva."
"The solution has been quite stable. I have not seen any bugs at all."
"The most valuable feature of Imperva, in addition to its strong knowledge base, is its effective protection for web applications."
"Very intuitive and granular configuration - It does not require much time, or advanced knowledge, for configuration and maintenance."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall is a highly stable solution and is very mature."
"If you are using the appliance as opposed to the virtual deployment, it can stand as the network layer-two and provide real transparency."
"There is a quick switch between any of the the nodes if something goes wrong, where there's a there's an attack against a specific area. The security setup is reasonably easy. It's not a problem to do setups and rules and integrations. And, yeah, just the the back end team is also very willing to insist if there's questions that that we cannot answer or with these questions that we do have"
"Imperva Web Application Firewall is stable."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it seems outdated."
"The cost per user is high and should be reduced."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."
"I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved."
"Some of the descriptions were found to be missing or were not as elaborate as compared to other descriptions. Although, they could be found across various standard sources but it would save a lot of time for developers, if this was fixed."
"The solution sometimes reports a false auditable code or false positive."
"The statistics module has a function that allows you to show some statistics, but I think it's limited. Maybe it needs more information."
"The signature updates could be faster. Sometimes we have to upload signatures to the Imperva portal for checking and analysis before we can use them."
"The user interface could be better."
"Imperva Web Application Firewall could improve the API integration. It was complex for us. Additionally, The onboarding could be better."
"One potential improvement for Imperva is enhancing its alert system."
"The support for the on-premises version needs improvement."
"They can provide an option to create reports, automatically import the entire report, and create rules again. In a real-life crisis, it would be helpful to be able to import a report and generate security rules from that report. I should be able to create a simple query and import the reports automatically. It can maybe also tell us the format of the report."
"The only disadvantage of Imperva is that it is a pretty costly solution."
"Some of the features should be included in the next release is a file integrating monitoring tool. This feature should be improved."
