We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and Fortify Software Security Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Static Application Security Testing (SAST) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The main advantage of this solution is its centralized reporting functionality, which lets us track issues, then see and report on the priorities via a web portal."
"Most valuable features include: ease of use, dashboard. interface and the ability to report."
"What I like best about Checkmarx is that it has fewer false positives than other products, giving you better results."
"The best thing about Checkmarx is the amount of vulnerabilities that it can find compared to other free tools."
"The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all."
"The most valuable feature for me is the Jenkins Plugin."
"The main benefit to using this solution is that we find vulnerabilities in our software before the development cycle is complete."
"The product's most valuable feature is static code and supply chain effect analysis. It provides a lot of visibility."
"You can easily download the tool's rule packs and update them."
"The reporting is very useful because you can always view an entire list of the issues that you have."
"This is a stable solution at the end of the day."
"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)."
"Micro-services need to be included in the next release."
"C, C++, VB and T-SQL are not supported by this product. Although, C and C++ were advertised as being supported."
"This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization."
"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"They should make it more container-friendly and optimized for the CI pipeline. They should make it a little less heavy. Right now, it requires a SQL database, and the way the tool works is that it has an engine and then it has an analysis database in which it stores the information. So, it is pretty heavy from that perspective because you have to have a full SQL Server. They're working on something called Checkmarx Light, which is a slim-down version. They haven't released it yet, but that's what we need. There should be something a little more slimmed down that can just run the analysis and output the results in a format that's readable as opposed to having a full, really big, and thick deployment with a full database server."
"There is nothing particular that I don't like in this solution. It can have more integrations, but the integrations that we would like are in the roadmap anyway, and they just need to deliver the roadmap. What I like about the roadmap is that it is going where it needs to go. If I were to look at the roadmap, there is nothing that is jumping out there that says to me, "Yeah. I'd like something else on the roadmap." What they're looking to deliver is what I would expect and forecast them to deliver."
"The statistics module has a function that allows you to show some statistics, but I think it's limited. Maybe it needs more information."
"This solution is difficult to implement, and it should be made more comfortable for the end-users."
"Fortify Software Security Center's setup is really painful."
"We are having issues with false positives that need to be resolved."
