"Checkmarx could improve the REST APIs by including automation."
"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."
"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."
"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."
