We performed a comparison between Checkmarx One and Rapid7 InsightAppSec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It's not an obstacle for developers. They can easily write their code and make it more secure with Checkmarx."
"Compared to the solutions we used previously, Checkmarx has reduced our workload by almost 75%."
"The most valuable feature is the application tracking reporting."
"The administration in Checkmarx is very good."
"The setup is very easy. There is a lot of information in the documents which makes the install not difficult at all."
"Both automatic and manual code review (CxQL) are valuable."
"Vulnerability details is valuable."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the graphical interface."
"You have various attack modules, and you also have the Attack Replay feature for the attack sequence. You can reproduce an attack and see it. That is a very good feature I noticed in this solution. It helps developers as well."
"It uses a signature-based method to check for problems with your code and will provide an alert if anything is found."
"The solution is stable."
"It is a very robust solution."
"The product’s most valuable feature is UI. It is easy to manage and find vulnerabilities in the application."
"The templates feature is very easy. You just choose the kind of attack you want on your web application, and you run it against that template and receive a report. It's great."
"It is very convenient to get reports from the tool, which offers high-level environmental statistics."
"This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization."
"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."
"We are trying to find out if there is a way to identify the run-time null values. I am analyzing different tools to check if there is any tool that supports run-time null value identification, but I don't think any of the tools in the market currently supports this feature. It would be helpful if Checkmarx can identify and throw an exception for a null value at the run time. It would make things a lot easier if there is a way for Checkmarx to identify nullable fields or hard-coded values in the code. The accessibility for customized Checkmarx rules is currently limited and should be improved. In addition, it would be great if Checkmarx can do static code and dynamic code validation. It does a lot of security-related scanning, and it should also do static code and dynamic code validation. Currently, for security-related validation, we are using Checkmarx, and for static code and dynamic code validation, we are using some other tools. We are spending money on different tools. We can pay a little extra money and use Checkmarx for everything."
"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"The interactive application security testing, or IAST, the interactive part where you're looking at an application that lives in a runtime environment on a server or virtual machine, needs improvement."
"The solution sometimes reports a false auditable code or false positive."
"Checkmarx has a slightly difficult compilation with the CI/CD pipeline."
"I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved."
"Rapid7 InsightAppSec needs improvement in detecting phishing pages."
"The number of web applications we can scan is limited."
"In the future, if they can have integration with a lot of ticketing systems then it would be amazing."
"They should add more features. I would like to see them do a little more on static analysis and also interactivity analysis. Currently, it does very basic static analysis. It could do a little more static analysis, which is something that would help. A lot more interactivity analysis should also be there. It should basically look at security during interactivity."
"The reporting is definitely an aspect of the solution that's in need of some work. We found that we'd try to use widgets, but often getting them to work for us wasn't very clear. They need to be more user friendly or offer better instructions."
"We get a lot of false positives during the tests."
"We'd like to see integrations with WAF solutions."
"The product’s pricing could be flexible."
