"Brilliant Code to Cloud Application"
What do you like best about Checkmarx?

Is so user friendly and it is very easy to become familiar with all the numerous features. Although I wasn't around for the implementation, I've found that it is relatively straightforward to integrate further functionality. The Scanning tools (IaC, SAST, SCA, API etc.) are all excellent and provide us with all the staus and visibility that we require. If we ever have issues that can't be resolved the Customer Support team at Checkmarx always are there to help us out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Checkmarx Review"

Checkmarx Tool Scans the code pretty well. Gives accurate results in-depth analysis can be done because checkmarx provides Flow of code from source till the values getting executed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Checkmarx reports false positives issues a lot. If it's a big application code base it's tough to control the number of false positive issues to analyse.Reporting can also be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool for Source code scanning"
What do you like best about Checkmarx?

The most valuable features are the easy to understand interface, and it 's very user-friendly. Reduce the code using cxsast plugin. It will scan code line by line and find most of vulnerabilities. Very easy to use. Vulnerability report is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkmarx?

UI should update. Reduce the false positive. Please upgrade rules set to avoid the false positive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Impressed with the Codebashing platform and AppSec awareness"
What do you like best about Checkmarx?

Checkmarx has an impressive Codebashing feature that has the edge over SonarQube. The application tracking-reporting feature is good too. I like the "delta-scan" feature as it is really good for cases when there are very frequent scans needed (e.g. with every major code commit, we don't want the entire source code scan to happen again). Having used both tools extensively (SonarQube and Checkmarx), I prefer Checkmarx overall. Checkmarx also fares better compared to peers when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database. Since ours is a user-information driven applicaiton, it becomes even more imminent to identify the data-specfic vulnerabilities at the earliest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Checkmarx?

Dashboarding could be better. The UI to show the current issue and the descriptive/suggestive text for the potential fix could be more "obvious" to the end-users. SonarQube scores over checkmarx in this regard.

Also, dashboarding could provide a little more flexibility towards the creation of new widgets.

One ore thing that I disliked about Checkmarx is that I could not find a free version in the market. Even for making an initial comparison, I had to contact the sales rep (the sales rep were pretty quick to respond, though). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
