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 SAST component was absolutely 100% stable."
"The solution has good performance, it is able to compute in 10 to 15 minutes."
"In summary, this is a good application that you can use to scan every code language."
"The identification of verification-related security vulnerabilities is really important and one of the key things. It also identifies vulnerabilities for any kind of third-party tool coming into the system or any third-party tools that you are using, which is very useful for avoiding random hacking."
"The most valuable feature is the application tracking reporting."
"It gives the proper code flow of vulnerabilities and the number of occurrences."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"Checkmarx is probably one of the best static code analyzers available in the market at this point."
"It comes with many features and supports almost all of the coding languages available."
"The most valuable feature of ReShaper is that it provides continuously scanning of the data in real-time. ReShaper has a really good mechanism and process, they have a decent system."
"Once you get used to working with the ReShaper, you can't get enough of it."
"The most valuable feature of ReShaper is that it provides continuously scanning of the data in real-time, and ReShaper has a really good mechanism and process, with a decent system."
 

Cons

"Checkmarx needs to improve the false positives and provide more accuracy in identifying vulnerabilities. It misses important vulnerabilities."
"The stability of Checkmarx could improve. We're having issues with it, and the scan reliability is sometimes impacted so we sometimes have to restart the services to allow scans out of the queue."
"This product requires you to create your own rulesets. You have to do a lot of customization."
"Checkmarx needs to be more scalable for large enterprise companies."
"Creating and editing custom rules in Checkmarx is difficult because the license for the editor comes at an additional cost, and there is a steep learning curve."
"Presently they support micro-services, but the supporting methodology of the micro-services is not good enough at the moment."
"There are some downtimes when Checkmarx One is being upgraded to the latest version or some improvement is there."
"Unfortunately, Checkmarx doesn't do any automated backups which is quite inconvenient."
"When it's integrated with a weak server machine, the performance isn't that great. It starts up slowly and even crashes at times."
"ReShaper could improve by increasing the performance of the scans. Their application is taking too much CPU."
"ReShaper could improve by increasing the performance of the scans. Their application is taking too much CPU. The processing is taking too many CPU resources which causes the system to slow down."
"When it's integrated with a weak server machine, the performance isn't that great. It starts up slowly and even crashes at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For around 250 users or committers, the cost is approximately $500,000."
"The tool's pricing is fine."
"We have a subscription license that is on a yearly basis, and it's a pretty competitive solution."
"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."
"Be cautious of the one-year subscription date. Once it expires, your price will go up."
"I believe pricing is better compared to other commercial tools."
"It is not expensive, but sometimes, their pricing model or licensing model is not very clear. There are similar variables, such as projects or developers, and sometimes, it is a little bit confusing."
"Before implementing the product I would evaluate if it is really necessary to scan so many different languages and frameworks. If not, I think there must be a cheaper solution for scanning Java-only applications (which are 90% of our applications)."
"As far as I know, the licensing isn't very cheap."
