Enable secure development workflows while identifying opportunities for faster scans and improved AI guidance

Checkmarx One is a very strong platform, but there are several areas where it can improve to support modern DevSecOps workflows even better. For example, better real-time developer guidance is needed. The IDE plugin should offer richer AI-powered auto-fixes similar to SNYK Code or GitHub Copilot Security, as current guidance is good but not deeply contextual for large-scale enterprise codebases. This matters because it reduces developer friction and accelerates shift-left adoption. More transparency control over the correlation engines is another need. The correlation engine is powerful but not fully transparent. Users want to understand why vulnerabilities were correlated or de-prioritized, which helps AppSec teams trust the prioritization logic. Faster SAST scan and more language coverage is needed since SAST scan can still be slow for very large mono-repos and there is limited deep support for new language frameworks like Rust and Go, along with advanced coverage for serverless-specific frameworks. This matters because large organizations want sub-minute scans in CI/CD as cloud-native ecosystems evolve fast. A strong API security module is another area for enhancement. API security scanning could be improved with active testing, API discovery, full Swagger, OpenAPI, drift detection, and schema-based fuzzing. This is important as API attacks are one of the biggest AppSec risks in 2025. Checkmarx One is strong, but I see a few areas for improvement including faster SAST scanning for large mono-repos, deeper language framework support, more transparent correlation logic, and stronger API security that includes discovery and runtime context. The IDE plugin could offer more AI-assisted fixes, and the SBOM lifecycle tracking can evolve further. Enhancing integration with SIEM and SOAR would also make enterprise adoption smoother, and these improvements would help developers and AppSec teams move faster with more accuracy.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution is always updating to continuously add items that create a level of safety from vulnerabilities, and they are always ahead of the game when it comes to finding any vulnerabilities within the database, so I am assured that when I am scanning my product those vulnerabilities are identified at very initial stages, giving my development team more time to react."

"We use the solution to validate the source code and do SAST and security analysis."

"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, and it also supports most of the languages."

"It has all the features we need."

"The UI is very intuitive and simple to use."

"Even if there are multiple vulnerabilities in the source coding, Checkmarx is able to identify which lines need to be corrected and then proceeds to automatically remediate the situation."

"The most valuable feature is the application tracking reporting."

"Overall, I use Checkmarx One as a strategic control point to improve developer velocity while strengthening application security across the full software lifecycle."

More Checkmarx One pros

"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."

"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."

"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."

"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."

"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."

"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."

"Using HipTest makes the testing process easy and its support for Behavior Driven Development helps align all the team members, whether technical or non-technical."

More CucumberStudio pros

Cons

"The reports are good, but they still need to be improved considering what the UI offers."

"We want to have a holistic view of the portfolio-level dashboard and not just an individual technical project level."

"Checkmarx could probably do something to improve their license model."

"When we have many applications to check, I need to wait a long time in the queue."

"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)."

"Checkmarx needs improvement in its Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and API security features."

"There are some downtimes when Checkmarx One is being upgraded to the latest version or some improvement is there."

"As the solution becomes more complex and feature rich, it takes more time to debug and resolve problems. Feature-wise, we have no complaints, but Checkmarx becomes harder to maintain as the product becomes more complex. When I talk to support, it takes them longer to fix the problem than it used to."

More Checkmarx One cons

"The reporting needs to be improved."

"I would like to see better customer support."

"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."

"More tutorials and examples."

"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."

"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."

"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."

"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."

More CucumberStudio cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got a special offer for a 30% reduction for three years, after our first year. I think for a real source-code scanning tool, you have to add a lot of money for Open Source Analysis, and AppSec Coach (160 Euro per user per year)."

"The average deal size was usually anywhere between $120K to $175K on an annual basis, which could be divided across 12 months."

"For around 250 users or committers, the cost is approximately $500,000."

"The license has a vague language around P1 issues and the associated support. Make sure to review these in order to align them with your organizational policies."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s pricing is higher than others and it is for the license alone."

"The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."

"The tool's pricing is fine."

"Its price is fair. It is in or around the right spot. Ultimately, if the price is wrong, customers won't commit, but they do tend to commit. It is neither too cheap nor too expensive."
