Partner experiences excellent technical support and seamless initial setup

In my opinion, if we are able to extract or show the report, and because everything is going towards agent tech and GenAI, it would be beneficial if it could get integrated with our code base and do the fix automatically. It could suggest how the code base is written and automatically populate the source code with three different solution options to choose from. This would be really helpful.

Effectively in identify and fix bugs early in the development lifecycle

When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Previously, security professionals had to spend a lot of time and effort running around, asking people to fix issues in their products, architectures, code, and even networks. With ShiftLeft, everything becomes robust and secure from within. Instead of relying on external measures like Web Application Firewalls (WAF) that are applied from the outside in, ShiftLeft takes a proactive approach. It helps prevent issues from arising in the first place, making it much easier for both security teams and developers. It's also cost-effective because you don't have to constantly go back, make changes to the code, and then push it again. Writing secure code from the start ensures that there are no vulnerabilities when it goes live. So, I would say the main features of ShiftLeft are its cost-effectiveness and ease of adaptability or use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can integrate very well with DAST solutions. So both of them are combined into an integrated solution for customers running application security."

"The setup is fairly easy. We didn't struggle with the process at all."

"The solution is scalable, but other solutions are better."

"The main advantage of this solution is its centralized reporting functionality, which lets us track issues, then see and report on the priorities via a web portal."

"The reports are very good because they include details on the code level, and make suggestions about how to fix the problems."

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

"The setup is very easy. There is a lot of information in the documents which makes the install not difficult at all."

"From my point of view, it is the best product on the market."

More Checkmarx One pros

"When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."

Cons

"We have received some feedback from our customers who are receiving a large number of false positives."

"I would like the product to include more debugging and developed tools. It needs to also add enhancements on the coding side."

"When we first ran it on a big project, there wasn't enough memory on the computer. It originally ran with eight gigabytes, and now it runs with 32. The software stopped at some point, and while I don't think it said it ran out of memory, it just said "stopped" and something else. We had to go to the logs and send them to the integrator, and eventually, they found a memory issue in the logs and recommended increasing the memory. We doubled it once, and it didn't seem enough. We doubled it again, and it helped."

"Updating and debugging of queries is not very convenient."

"Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software."

"It is an expensive solution."

"Checkmarx reports many false positives that we need to manually segregate and mark “Not exploitable”."

"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)."

More Checkmarx One cons

"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."

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

"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)."

"Be cautious of the one-year subscription date. Once it expires, your price will go up."

"Checkmarx is comparatively costlier than other products, which is why some of the customers feel reluctant to go for it, though performance-wise, Checkmarx can compete with other products."

"The tool's pricing is fine."

"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."

"It is an expensive solution."
