Find out in this report how the two DevSecOps solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the SCA module and the code-checking module. Additionally, the solutions are explanatory and helpful."
"Overall, the ability to find vulnerabilities in the code is better than the tool that we were using before."
"It is a stable product."
"The product's most valuable feature is static code and supply chain effect analysis. It provides a lot of visibility."
"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."
"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 administration in Checkmarx is very good."
"When we are integrating it with SSC, we're able to scan and trace and see all of the vulnerabilities. Comparison is easy in SSC."
"The accuracy of its scans is great."
"I've found the centralized dashboard the most valuable. For the management, it helps a lot to have abilities at the central level."
"Reporting, centralized dashboard, and bird's eye view of all vulnerabilities are the most valuable features."
"The solution's technical support was very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the static analysis."
"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."
"There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."
"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."
"It would be really helpful if the level of confidence was included, with respect to identified issues."
"Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"The solution sometimes reports a false auditable code or false positive."
"The product's reporting feature could be better. The feature works well for developers, but reports generated to be shared with external parties are poor, it lacks the details one gets when viewing the results directly from the Checkmarx One platform."
"One area for improvement in Checkmarx is pricing, as it's more expensive than other products."
"Checkmarx could improve the speed of the scans."
"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."
"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."
"Fortify WebInspect could improve user-friendliness. Additionally, it is very bulky to use."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
"We have had a problem with authentification."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"I'm not sure licensing, but on the pricing, it's a bit costly. It's a bit overpriced. Though it is an enterprise tool, there are other tools also with similar functionalities."
"The scanner could be better."
