We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and SonarCloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Testing (AST) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The user interface is excellent. It's very user friendly."
"The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all."
"It allows for SAST scanning of uncompiled code. Further, it natively integrates with all key repos formats (Git, TFS, SVN, Perforce, etc)."
"Our static operation security has been able to identify more security issues since implementing this solution."
"The main thing we find valuable about Checkmarx is the ease of use. It's easy to initiate scans and triage defects."
"Overall, the ability to find vulnerabilities in the code is better than the tool that we were using before."
"The value you can get out of the speedy production may be worth the price tag."
"The solution has good performance, it is able to compute in 10 to 15 minutes."
"The most valuable features of SonarCloud are the ability to discover vulnerabilities, security weak points, security hotspots, and all the feedback that comes into the feature branch. You can deploy the code with the security, you can eliminate the problem at the developer level rather than identifying the problem in the productions."
"Its dashboard provides a unified view of various code quality metrics, including code duplication, unit test coverage, and security hotspots."
"For what it is meant to do, it works pretty well."
"The solution provides continuous code analysis which has improved the quality of our code. It can raise alarms on vulnerabilities with immediate reports on the dashboard. Few things are false positives and we can customize the rules."
"The solution can be installed locally."
"SonarCloud is overall a good tool for identifying code smells, bugs, and code duplication, but we've found that using Android Lint is more effective for our needs."
"The reports from SonarCloud are very good."
"The most valuable feature of SonarCloud is its overall performance."
"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."
"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."
"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."
"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."
"We would like to be able to run scans from our local system, rather than having to always connect to the product server, which is a longer process."
"With Checkmarx, normally you need to use one tool for quality and you need to use another tool for security. I understand that Checkmarx is not in the parity space because it's totally different, but they could include some free features or recommendations too."
"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)."
"They can support the remaining languages that are currently not supported. They can also create a different model that can identify zero-day attacks. They can work on different patterns to identify and detect zero-day vulnerability attacks."
"The solution needs to improve its customization and flexibility."
"The documentation needs improvement on optimizing build time for seamless CI/CD integration with our Android apps."
"CI/CD pipeline is part of a whole chain of design, development, and production, and it's becoming increasingly crucial to optimize the various tools across different stages. However, it's still a silo approach because the full integration is missing. This isn't just an issue with SonarCloud. It's a general problem with tooling."
"The reports could improve by providing more information. We are not able to use the reports in our operation until they are improved. Additionally, if the vendor provided more customization capabilities it would be a benefit."
"There's room for improvement in the configuration process, particularly during the initial setup phase."
"We had some issues with the scanner."
"I've been told by the developers that the solution is too limited. It's not testing enough within the containers."
"SonarCloud's UI needs enhancement."
