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.

Useful for cloud data protection, particularly for email and file-sharing systems
For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto. The solution should also expand integration from the public cloud to the private cloud and add Cloud DLP and CASB features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has good performance, it is able to compute in 10 to 15 minutes."
"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."
"It is a stable product."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"It moved our organization towards being agile vs. waterfall."
"Checkmarx One has positively impacted my organization, especially in our CI/CD integration, where when we try to build any feature, they are always scanned by Checkmarx before they get released."
"The visibility the solution gives you is great; it really gives you the ability to see what the root issues in the code actually are."
"The identification of verification-related security vulnerabilities is really important and one of the key things, and 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."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"This is a very dependable solution and we are able to have a lot of Trend Micro security products integrated between each other."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
 

Cons

"Checkmarx could be improved with more integration with third-party software."
"I would like to see the tool’s pricing improved."
"We can run only one project at a time."
"Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues."
"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."
"I would like the product to include more debugging and developed tools. It needs to also add enhancements on the coding side."
"You can't use it in the continuous delivery pipeline because the scanning takes too much time."
"It is an expensive solution."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"The pricing of this solution is quite high, about double what other similar solutions cost."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's relatively expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is competitive and provides a lower TCO (total cost of ownership) for achieving application security."
"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."
"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 number of users and coverage for languages will have an impact on the cost of the license."
"If you want more, you have to pay more. You have to pay for additional modules or functionalities."
"The pricing was not very good. This is just a framework which shouldn’t cost so much."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
