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 features of Checkmarx are the automation and information that it provides in the reports."
"Overall, the ability to find vulnerabilities in the code is better than the tool that we were using before."
"The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities. It's one of the key features they provide that's an excellent selling point. They're always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database."
"Apart from software scanning, software composition scanning is valuable."
"Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle."
"Vulnerability details is valuable."
"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 feature that I have found most valuable is that its number of false positives is less than the other security application platforms. Its ease of use is another good feature. It also supports most of the languages."
"The stability is good."
"This product is always evolving, and they listen to the customers."
"We're only using the basic features of GitLab and haven't used any advanced features. The solution works fine, so that's what we like about GitLab. We're party using GitHub and GitLab. We have a GitHub server, while we use GitLab locally or only within our team, and it works okay. We don't have any significant problems with the solution. We also found the straightforward setup, stability, and scalability of GitLab valuable."
"The dashboard and interface make it easy to use."
"I have found the most valuable feature is security control. I also like the branching and cloning software."
"We use the Git repository and tagging feature. We are a product-based company and use this solution to move to a forward or backward tag."
"GitLab is kind of an image of GitHub, so it gives us the flexibility to monitor our changes in the repos."
"GitLab is a solution for source code management, container registry, pipelines, testing, and deployment."
"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved."
"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."
"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)."
"The solution's user interface could be improved because it seems outdated."
"Checkmarx needs to improve the false positives and provide more accuracy in identifying vulnerabilities. It misses important vulnerabilities."
"Checkmarx could improve the solution reports and false positives. The false positives could be reduced. For example, we have alerts that are tagged as vulnerabilities but when you drill down they are not."
"It is an expensive solution."
"When deploying the solution on cloud and the CI/CD pipeline, we have to define the steps and it becomes confusing."
"I would like to have some features to support peer review."
"GitLab's UI could be improved."
"GitLab could improve the patch repository. It does not have support for Conan patch version regions. Additionally, better support for Kubernetes deployment is needed as part of the package."
"I would like to see security increased in the future. A secure environment is very important."
"It would be really good if they integrated more features in application security."
"We have only seen a couple of issues on Gitlab, which we use for building some of the applications."
"The solution could be faster."
