Automated security scans have strengthened pipeline checks and now need better noise reduction and IDE integration

November 29, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Checkmarx One is primarily used for SAST scans in my organization. A specific example of how I use Checkmarx One for SAST scans is in applications that require scanning both static and dynamic vulnerabilities. For the static vulnerabilities, Checkmarx One identifies SQL injections and other static vulnerabilities in the code.

Checkmarx One has been included in the CI/CD pipelines, so it runs automatically for all components and microservices across various applications. The tool indicates severity levels from one, two, three, and so on, and is integrated within the pipeline.

What is most valuable?

Checkmarx One offers several standout features. The tool summarizes CWE reports so I can identify what is exploitable and what is non-exploitable. It is well-integrated with other internal tools where I can disposition false positives and provides vulnerability resolutions and guidance on how to fix them, which are sometimes very helpful.

The CWE report summaries assist in my daily work by showing up in reports, allowing me to see all types of vulnerabilities at once. The tool indicates when there are multiple vulnerabilities in specific legacy code, for example, by showing that there are 12 findings for CVE X.X, and I can fix them all at once.

Checkmarx One has positively impacted the organization by providing resolution strategies and indicating which vulnerabilities need to be fixed. It is beneficial to catch vulnerabilities early in the pipeline so that any false positives can be addressed later, which is especially important for security in a banking environment.

What needs improvement?

Checkmarx One can be improved by reducing noise and improving false positive filtering. There are instances when false positives appear, such as when the word 'password' appears in a file, which actually refers to a code variable elsewhere. Checkmarx One could provide better reports, and the UI could be made more user-friendly.

Integration into the IDE being used would be beneficial so that code does not need to be uploaded to the website and an IDE-friendly report could be generated.

For how long have I used the solution?

Checkmarx One has been used for approximately three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Checkmarx One has been stable with no observed issues with downtime or reliability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Checkmarx One has handled increased workloads adequately.

How are customer service and support?

There has been no interaction with the support team.

How would you rate customer service and support?

What other advice do I have?

Checkmarx One saves significant time because it is directly integrated into the CI/CD pipeline, although specific metrics are not available. The overall rating for Checkmarx One is seven out of ten, primarily based on the previously mentioned features and capabilities. Checkmarx One is a solid program that has a secure-first mentality, and no specific advice comes to mind for others considering the product. There is no business relationship with the vendor other than being a customer.

Early detection with custom queries has improved secure coding practices and continuously prevents critical vulnerabilities from reaching deployment

November 29, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Checkmarx One is as a SAST product. In the Jenkins pipeline, we use it to build or confirm the Checkmarx result. Whenever we find any high or critical severity vulnerability, we break the pipeline and the product does not go to deployment. I use Checkmarx audit a lot. Whenever I find a zero-day vulnerability, we go to Checkmarx audit and write some custom query so that we can find the particular vulnerability in a particular library. Checkmarx One can give us the exact code where that library is deployed and we replace the server version and the library version.

What is most valuable?

The best features Checkmarx One offers are Checkmarx audit and the ability to write custom queries.

Checkmarx One has positively impacted our organization as we tend to find vulnerabilities very early in the development cycle. The initial scans allowed the teams to catch the vulnerabilities early. But after some time, they got used to it and started writing more secure code. In a way, it has saved a lot of time.

What needs improvement?

For Checkmarx One, I think that adding repositories and scanning impromptu code could improve it. Suppose an impromptu team comes and provides the code in a GitLab repo, there should be a quick scan button. You just link the repo and can get a result instantly.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Checkmarx One is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Checkmarx One's scalability is good.

How are customer service and support?

We had Checkmarx office hours for customer support, and that helps a lot.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not previously use a different solution. We were using the free version of Semgrep.

What was our ROI?

I'm not in a position to provide a return on investment because I'm at a lower level, such as Product Security Engineer. I don't deal with these details.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to others looking into using Checkmarx One is to go for the demo version first and see. If it fits into your pipeline, then go for it.

Checkmarx One is a great tool. SAST-wise, I love it. It's integrating into the pipeline, Checkmarx audit, and manually marking the results as false positive. After the rescan, it does not appear. So that works great.

I found this interview to be good, but I think there should be a pause button. Anyone can take a break and doesn't have to continue for the whole length. You can hit pause and continue whenever you come back.

I would rate this review an 8.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Reselling has delivered fast secure-code training and streamlined code review for development teams

November 28, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Checkmarx One is that I am a reseller, and the company I work for is a reseller. What I typically do with Checkmarx One is implementation, helping our clients or customers to meet their use cases, support, and setting up, and also using it to show the customer how to use the product.

A very recent implementation I can think of is that we had a client that wanted to do SAST, and we sold Checkmarx One to them for their SAST implementation. I was able to walk the clients through how to use the platform, how to review the source code with Checkmarx One, and most especially how to use the one-fix remediation features of Checkmarx whereby you can use the recommendation from Checkmarx One to fix the issues found in the source code.

What is most valuable?

The best features that Checkmarx One offers in my experience include its reliability in managing false positives, the integration to the CI/CD pipeline, and most importantly, the Codebashing feature that Checkmarx One has where developers can learn how to code better and securely.

In terms of usability, Checkmarx One is one of those solutions where implementation is very straightforward and within the next few minutes after implementing Checkmarx One, you can actually start getting results almost instantly. The ease of use is there, and the usability shows that the time to generate returns on your investment is very quick.

From my point of view as a professional service or support engineer, Checkmarx One has positively impacted my organization and clients. The fact that clients come back to renew their Checkmarx One subscription means that it is valuable to them, and winning new deals means that the solution is actually meeting the need in the market. I have deployed Checkmarx One for different clients and resold Checkmarx One to different clients, and that can only be because the solution does exactly what it says it does.

After implementing Checkmarx One, the time it takes for clients to come up with secure code has been a lot faster. Once you implement Checkmarx One, you can be sure that you're getting value from the solution almost immediately because Checkmarx One also handles false positives very effectively, saving you time and saving your developers time. This has really improved the client's experience.

Additionally, Checkmarx One also has the Codebashing feature that helps to provide further knowledge to the customer on how to write secure codes, and that's a very outstanding feature of Checkmarx One.

What needs improvement?

Checkmarx One is doing a lot already, and what I would just ask is for Checkmarx One, as a company, to look into investing in RASP because being a very good SAST to DAST solution, RASP is becoming increasingly needed, especially from the reseller vendor side. If Checkmarx One could start development of a RASP platform, that would do us a lot of good.

RASP is the key one for me.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working in my current field for about over eight years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Checkmarx One is very stable in my experience.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Checkmarx One's scalability is good; it can handle growing needs or larger environments easily.

How are customer service and support?

I have relied on Checkmarx One customer support hundreds of times for several things, and Checkmarx One support is very proactive and very responsive. You can rely on them.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have not previously used a different solution for my clients; it has most times always been Checkmarx One.

How was the initial setup?

The ease of use is there, and the usability shows that the time to generate returns on your investment is very quick. That is something that is outstanding about Checkmarx One.

What about the implementation team?

Due to the number of years I've implemented Checkmarx One, there are rebates and discounts from the OEM which makes it a lot more profitable, and in terms of setup costs, it's already factored into the cost of the solution. The clients we are deploying for usually manage that cost. We have a good relationship with generating a license and all of that, so the experience is seamless and really good.

What was our ROI?

I have to mention again that I am not a direct user of Checkmarx One, as I implement Checkmarx One for clients and use it in clients' environments. The person who has the most accurate answer around return on investment would be the client. However, based on my interactions with the clients, I can tell that there is a return on investment because if something is not profitable and it's not helping to save costs or vulnerabilities, clients wouldn't come back to renew their license year after year. I would say that while I may not have direct metrics, I can affirm that there is a good return on investment for our clients' environments.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Checkmarx One, we did not evaluate other options for clients; in most cases, clients really wanted Checkmarx One themselves, so we just implement Checkmarx One for them.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Checkmarx One an eight out of ten.

I choose eight out of ten because Checkmarx One is outstanding; truthfully, Checkmarx One is really, really good.

My advice for others looking into using Checkmarx One is to come to me; let me sell Checkmarx One to you. I have good experience using Checkmarx One, and I can help you set up your Checkmarx One to ensure that you're getting your return on value quickly. If you're looking for a SAST solution that would provide a return on investment and assist with source code scanning to improve your entire SDLC cycle, Checkmarx One is a tool that you can rely on. My overall rating for Checkmarx One is eight out of ten.

Improves collaboration between teams and embeds security directly into development workflows

November 26, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

Checkmarx One is my main tool for vulnerability detection and smooth integration over the things to be scanned. It helps me to perform smooth vulnerability detection. The primary use case that fits into my workflow is to see the vulnerabilities in Checkmarx One dashboard, and then we can fix them. It depends on the vulnerability that we have in our code, and then we do the same until we achieve the desired latency.Checkmarx One dashboard is helpful for scanning, integration, and vulnerability detection.

What is most valuable?

I have been using Checkmarx One for three years.Checkmarx One positively impacts my organization by detecting vulnerabilities. This is a significant impact when we are going into the coding part. It helps us to do proper coding and deploy with improved performance.The features that help me in my work include CI/CD pipeline integration and code repository integration that are automated with triggering. I can also get scanning results as feedback and testing integration. It supports board security coverage. Checkmarx One is basically embedding security into the developer workflow, which means IDE, plus source code management, plus CI/CD.Checkmarx One has significantly reduced the time we spend identifying vulnerabilities because the scan runs automatically in our CI/CD pipeline. The results are centralized in a single dashboard. This eliminates manual checking and gives us faster visibility into high-risk problems and issues. In terms of collaboration, it helps us improve coordination between development and security teams. We use a shared dashboard. The clear remediation guidelines and automated ticket creation make communication smoother and ensure both teams are aligned on priorities and timelines. Overall, the tool has helped streamline our DevSecOps workflow.

What needs improvement?

Scanning speed optimization is an area where improvements can be made, and we can reduce false positives. The tool still requires manual verification in some cases, which could be improved. I recommend stronger integration with modern development tools. Other tools might include GitHub Actions, GitLab Runner, and Azure DevOps pipelines.The improvements needed are in scan speed, reducing false positives, and more detailed remediation guidelines. These are the areas where improvements can be made.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Checkmarx One for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Checkmarx One is very stable, so we switched to it.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Checkmarx One's scalability has changed my organization because the strong collaboration between the development and security team helps us to do things much faster.

How are customer service and support?

I have reached out to customer support for Checkmarx One, and they are very helpful when needed.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using a combination of open scanners before Checkmarx One. We might have used SonarQube for code quality and basic security checks, and a tool for dependency checking for vulnerability scanning. While they were very useful, they were not fully integrated. There was a significant gap between them. Overall, when moving to Checkmarx One, it helped us to unify all security checks under one tool, improve visibility, reduce manual effort, and have strong collaboration between the development and security teams.

How was the initial setup?

The setup eliminates a lot of manual coding reviews and reduces the dependency on a dedicated security analyst for the initial stage.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment with Checkmarx One as fewer employees are needed and time is also saved.Checkmarx One has definitely helped us to save time and reduce the need for additional security resources, meaning employees. One of the biggest advantages is that the scan runs automatically in our CI/CD pipeline. The results go right to the dashboard or the ticketing system. This eliminates a lot of manual coding reviews and reduces the dependency on a dedicated security analyst for the initial stage. In terms of saving time, I estimate that we have roughly saved twenty to thirty percent of the effort we spent in manual code reviews. For example, in our recent project, I reviewed around two thousand-plus lines of changes, which would naturally take a senior person three to four hours to review. Checkmarx One identified two major vulnerabilities within a second, and the developer fixed them before the migration. This automation protects us from needing additional code reviewers for peak release cycles. Overall, between the fast scanning, automation, automatic reporting, and easy detection, it has reduced manual effort enough that we did not need an extra reviewer, even as our codebase or team size grew.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I am experiencing pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Checkmarx One. I did not see any challenges; the pricing should be reasonable, matching what we are paying for. It is actually reasonable.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Checkmarx One, I evaluated other options such as SonarQube.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to others looking into using Checkmarx One would be to look at it. Overall, the tool delivery gives the best result. If your plan is rolled out well, integrate it deeply into the workflow and fine-tune it in your environment so that you can see a better result in Checkmarx One. I would rate this review an eight out of ten.

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

November 25, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I would like to refer Checkmarx One as I have been working with it for a long time. I led the implementation of Checkmarx One as the centralized AppSec platform during a large cloud modernization project. We onboarded 200 plus repositories, standardized security policies across teams, and introduced branch-level gating so that no code could reach production unless it passed SAST and SCA quality thresholds. This reduced critical findings by over 70% within the first quarter and aligned engineering with a major, repeatable, secure SDLC process. Overall, I use Checkmarx One as a strategic control point to improve developer velocity while strengthening application security across the full software lifecycle.

What is most valuable?

I can talk about SAST, which is static application security testing with correlation and prioritization. It automates and identifies insecure coding patterns early in development. The correlation engine links SAST and SCA and API vulnerability, reducing noise. It helps developers fix what is actually exploitable instead of drowning in false positives, improving the developer productivity and accelerating secure SDLC.

The second case I can give is SCA, software composition analysis for open source risk. It monitors CVE, licensing issues, and vulnerable libraries. It helps quickly identify supply chain risk, which is very important in 2025, and automatic PRs to upgrade vulnerable dependencies, saving engineering time and strengthening SBOM and supply chain security postures.

I can talk about IAC security. Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifest detection finds misconfiguration before cloud resources go live, providing fast fixes directly to developers, which eliminates potential cloud exposure at the design stage. It is important for DevSecOps and preventing cloud drift.

I do use the IDE plugin for VS Code and IntelliJ, where a developer gets immediate feedback inside their editor. Issues are fixed at their cheapest point before committing code, which reduces friction between AppSec and engineering, shifting security left in a practical, low-resistance way.

Another example is the CI/CD continuous integration and continuous delivery integration and branch-level gating, which enforces and automates policies. No merge to main unless scans pass removes the manual review bottleneck and ensures consistent governance across teams and environments, creating a repeatable, scalable, secure SDLC.

Checkmarx One's API automation workflows enable automated reporting, custom dashboards, and Slack and Jira alerts, powering enterprise-level orchestration and compliance reporting. It allows integration with SIEM and SOAR for unified visibility and turns Checkmarx One into a security automation powerhouse.

The unified dashboard and risk overview provide a centralized view of SAST, SCA, IAC, and API findings that help AppSec teams prioritize across multiple codebases, allowing managers to get instant insight for audit or executive reporting that provides clarity and data-driven decision making. The day-to-day Checkmarx One features I rely on most are SAST and SCA with the correlation engines because they drastically reduce false positives and help me focus on real exploitable risk. I also use IAC scanning to catch cloud misconfiguration early and IDE plugins to shift security left for developers.

CI/CD gating and the Checkmarx One API are essential because they automate governance and create a consistent, scalable, secure SDLC across teams. The unified dashboard brings everything together, making risk visibility very clear at both engineering and leadership levels.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working in this field for 15 years and I am a subject matter expert.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Checkmarx One is a scalable product and handles the workload. It depends on the licensing being used, which scales accordingly. Since it is cloud-based, the infrastructure and PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS are taken care of by the cloud marketplace. In our case, we have Azure and everything we are running is managed through Azure.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support team is amazing and they provide on-phone call, email support, and on-website support. It has been a really great experience.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used other helpful solutions including SNYK, Veracode, GitHub Advanced Security, and SonarQube before Checkmarx One. These competitors have helped improve my experience with Checkmarx One due to the balance between depth versus speed, policy versus developer experience, and unified AppSec strategy with tuning prioritization.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment was smooth and aligned well with our Azure ecosystem. The Marketplace offering gave us a pre-configured SaaS environment, simplified licensing, and allowed direct integration with Azure AD, Azure DevOps, and Git repos. I initiated the deployment from Azure Marketplace, selected the subscription, resource group, and tenant, and linked it to our enterprise Azure AD. The main feature was fast provisioning through SaaS with no infrastructure to maintain, automatically identifying integration using Azure AD and SSO, with native billing through Azure subscription and pre-configured API endpoint optimized for the Microsoft cloud. The Marketplace deployment eliminated a lot of manual setup compared to traditional AppSec setups.

What about the implementation team?

We deployed Checkmarx One using phases including scale, rollout, monitoring, covering, planning, integration, onboarding, governance, and organization. First, we used discovery and planning, then platform setup and access based on Azure. We integrated CI/CD, developer workflow integration, SAST, SCA, IAC configuration tuning, and dashboard reporting. A full optimization rollout was done.

First, we set up SSO, RBAC, and CI/CD integration. Then, we onboarded repos, tuned SAST, SCA, IAC rules, and rolled out IDE plugins to developers. We automated Jira tickets, enabled branch gating for critical apps, and built risk dashboards using the API. Within a few months, we achieved over 90% repo coverage, reduced false positives significantly, and embedded secure coding directly into developer workflows.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I would like to talk about setup, pricing, and licensing with Checkmarx One. The licensing module is modular consumption-based, and organizations typically license the platform in three ways: module-based licensing, repo-based or LOC-based licensing, and Enterprise Agreement-based licensing. When it goes to Azure Marketplace, billing is directly through Azure subscription, allowing the ability to pay using Microsoft credits and easier contract approval, which procurement loves. Marketplace deals offer pre-configured SaaS tenant in Azure, faster onboarding with native integrations including AAD, Entra, ADO, ARM, or AKS. The Marketplace also offers monthly or annual SKU, add-on modules as needed, and custom quotes for enterprise workloads.

For a small team under 50 developers, normal expenses come under 30 to 60K. For a mid-size team with 50 to 250 developers, the range is 80 to 250K depending on the number of modules. For enterprises with 250 to 2,000 developers, costs range from 250K to 1 million and include SAST, SCA, IAC, and API. Azure Marketplace gives organizations a savings of 10 to 20% by consolidating billing through their Microsoft Enterprise Agreement.

What other advice do I have?

My best advice, a top practical advice to share is to start with governance first, which reduces noise early, integrate everywhere developers work, automate pull request gates, provide developer training, use the analytics dashboard, and align it with your secure SDLC. Checkmarx One works best when implemented as a part of your systematic, automated, developer-first AppSec program. Tune early, automate everything, integrate everywhere, and pair it with proper developer education. The tool's power is in consistency and governance, not just scanning. I would rate this solution a 7 out of 10.

Improves security workflows with deep pipeline integration and supports faster release cycles

November 23, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

I have mostly been working in DevOps, infrastructure, cloud, and all three hyperscalers: AWS, Azure, and GCP.

I have used Checkmarx One for almost six to seven years now. Initially, when I started my career, I worked with different companies, especially in the financial domain, where I worked for financial and investment-based companies that typically had Black Duck and Checkmarx as security tools.

My main use case for Checkmarx One is that I have implemented it into my DevSecOps workflows, wherein we have Checkmarx scan enabled for our application components that were being developed by the developers. I have also been responsible for setting up Checkmarx installation, installing it into our own data centers because I have worked with many financial clients. From the infrastructure side, I have also been responsible for implementing Checkmarx into Windows and Linux servers. I have also been responsible for setting up the DevSecOps pipeline.

The most common use case that I think everyone uses with Checkmarx One is SAST, or Static Application Security Testing. We scan our source code and all the binaries to check for any injection or insecure authentication before we create any Docker builds. We also have SCA, or Software Composition Analysis, where we identify vulnerabilities and license or compliance risks in the open-source components that developers are working on. CI/CD integration is one workflow that we use, and now we are also working on AI remediation, where we provide developers with contextual explanations and secure code suggestions directly in their IDEs so they can fix their issues while coding. Additionally, policy enforcement and role-based access are also among the use cases that we currently have.

What is most valuable?

The best features Checkmarx One offers, over the past years, include broad language and technical support that Checkmarx provides, covering most languages. The framework compatibility is really great, even with monolithic applications, microservices applications, and container-based applications that are more cloud-native. All of those are compatible, and it also has IDE integration, which is more of a developer assist feature that has recently launched. We are already leveraging that. The deep pipeline integration is something that also has templates aligned with Jenkins and Jenkins plugins available. We are migrating to GitHub Actions, and that is something we are looking at too.

The dashboard and reporting part in Checkmarx One is valuable. We have a unified dashboard and reporting, which is a single pane for all the vulnerabilities and trends with respect to vulnerabilities. On the dashboard side, things could be improved a bit.

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. If they do not fulfill the compliance guidelines as per the organization or the compliance and governance requests, we also have responsible AI guidelines because, at SAP, we currently have a GenAI platform, so all those requirements are fulfilled only when features are released into our team.

What needs improvement?

Checkmarx One can be improved on the side of faster scans, especially when our CI pipelines are scanning for vulnerabilities. Performance improvements can be made, but it depends on which kind of offering we are adapting for Checkmarx, whether it is cloud-based or in-house installation.

Reducing false positives is something I would suggest, but again, it depends on how Checkmarx One is set up. It already uses data flow design and has more precise vulnerability detection, which could improve developer trust.

Currently, we are consuming Checkmarx One from AWS. We have a few use cases through AWS CodePipeline, and the integration is very smooth there. We have opted for the offering available in the AWS Marketplace.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Checkmarx One is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of Checkmarx One depends on meeting the initial hardware requirements specified in Checkmarx's official documentation. Hardware performance affects scalability, but we have not faced any issues.

How are customer service and support?

We have worked with the Checkmarx support team, and the experience was very smooth. If you raise a support case with Checkmarx, it is handled smoothly. There have been instances where they agreed to join meetings and help us out. I have not faced any issues personally up to now.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

What was our ROI?

I have not been able to calculate ROI as I am more focused on technical aspects as a software engineer. The management of different organizations calculates ROI, but we have observed reduced costs when using the SaaS offerings in AWS.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We have not used a different solution for now, although some financial clients I worked with previously used both Black Duck and Checkmarx.

What other advice do I have?

The effects on my team's productivity and risk reduction include faster release cycles. We have a dedicated security team who fetches reports from Checkmarx One and works closely with developers to resolve all the issues, leading to improvements in vulnerabilities and timelines.

The pricing, setup cost, and licensing aspects are handled by the central team in large organizations. For instance, I worked at Accenture at the start of my career and later at Infosys. I worked on projects related to financial clients but cannot reveal the client names; those matters are taken care of by clients or the central team, and I am not privy to them because I focus more on technical expertise.

Performance also depends on the infrastructure where Checkmarx One is set up. We have a few AWS use cases where Checkmarx One is offered as a SaaS, but I have also experienced in-house setups in previous organizations, leading to performance degradation, which is not the responsibility of Checkmarx One software itself. Performance also depends on the engineers or stakeholders setting it up on the appropriate hardware and infrastructure.

Checkmarx One is a global security tool for scanning vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance. Every organization has its own compliance and governance requirements, and Checkmarx One fits well. Many organizations widely use Checkmarx One, and it is compatible with all compliance and governance requirements. I would rate this product nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Performing security scans across 2,000 applications has become a seamless part of our CI/CD pipeline

November 21, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Checkmarx One is to perform SAST and SCA scans to web applications.

When a development team needs to scan the code before going to production, I use Checkmarx One to perform the SAST and SCA to evaluate the code security.

After evaluation, if findings are discovered, the team works to fix them.

Checkmarx One is now fully integrated in the CI/CD pipeline. We perform SAST and SCA for more than 2,000 applications globally.

What is most valuable?

The best features Checkmarx One offers include good integration with SCM tools such as GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket.

Whenever a code modification is performed, it scans automatically. The results are retrieved and a dashboard is created for the product owners and application owners to evaluate their security posture.

The dashboard feature helps product and application owners evaluate whether they are achieving the KPI that was implemented. No code with critical or high issues can be accepted in production.

The reporting in Checkmarx One is not comprehensive, so the reports are retrieved and integrated with scan reports to provide an overall overview of each application.

Checkmarx One has positively impacted the organization. Since replacing the previous tool, SAST and SCA scans are conducted in a couple of minutes instead of hours or days. Overall, time has been saved and the speed to market has increased, reducing the timeline from three or four days to one day only.

What needs improvement?

Checkmarx One can be improved by having editable reporting, so a report creator could be developed to decide what information to provide instead of using only the available templates.

A more efficient dashboard would be beneficial so that views in Checkmarx One can be customized.

The integration part is working easily, and integration with all SCM providers has been completed. Code is now being scanned in Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and GitHub. The integration is fantastic.

For how long have I used the solution?

Checkmarx One has been used for the past three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Checkmarx One is often down when the cloud provider experiences issues. A more fail-tolerant solution needs to be created.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Checkmarx One's scalability is good for the organization as it handles global needs well. Approximately four billion lines of code are being scanned monthly.

How are customer service and support?

Customer support for Checkmarx One would be rated a seven due to a lack of proactivity.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before Checkmarx One, a different solution called FOD was previously used. The decision was made to switch because FOD caused significant delays in the CI/CD pipeline.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before choosing Checkmarx One, other options were evaluated, including FOD and Snyk.

What other advice do I have?

The advice for others looking into using Checkmarx One is to use more automation scripts instead of the web interface, as it makes it easier to handle all features and integrate them in CI/CD pipelines such as onboarding applications, creating project applications, onboarding users, and using the available API. This approach works best for large organizations. The onboarding of almost 2,000 applications has been completed and is working well. The overall review rating for Checkmarx One is nine.

Automated code validation has saved our team over 16 hours weekly and improved security checks

November 18, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

My main case to use Checkmarx One was to streamline validation and quality check across our code, and we are quickly verifying our PCI compliances, identifying inconsistencies, and ensuring that our output meets the required standard before we move on to the next stage.
The platform is integrated into our CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket/Jenkins), allowing scans to run automatically on every commit or pull request. This ensures vulnerabilities are detected early and fixes are incorporated before code reaches production.

How has it helped my organization?

Checkmarx One has significantly improved our organization’s security posture. We now catch vulnerabilities much earlier in the development cycle, which has reduced remediation time and lowered the number of issues reaching production. This has also improved developer efficiency and given us greater confidence in our releases.
Checkmarx One has improved visibility across our codebases. We now have centralized dashboards and consistent scanning across projects, which makes governance and compliance much easier to manage.

What is most valuable?

Checkmarx One has become an essential part of our current project because in every process of code it checks what type of errors are there, what type of code quality is there, these types of checks and visibility to developers really help and make our project easy to work.

I appreciate most features of Checkmarx One including automated checks, code quality checks, checking the rule-based validation, what type of code coverage is there, whether it's covering or not, whether it's applied or not, these types of issues and triage, what type of triage we will get before merging the code in our production. Logging functionality is also very good, as it will tell if this code is flexible for your current scenario or not. Alert and notification to each customer and each developer is also a big task here. These are the good features, audit and traceability we can say.

Checkmarx One has had a positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of productivity. When we went with manual checks, we spent a lot of time, but automated checks by using Checkmarx One make fixing our issues easier, faster and save our team's time. We save a lot of time here.

By using the automated testing in Checkmarx One, we have saved around one or two days in a full week of our team because we have a lot of code to do with seven markets. In this market, we have to daily push around 20 to 30 tickets per day. This saves us a lot of time, mostly around 16 hours a week.

What needs improvement?

Checkmarx One is doing great, but there is a need for UI improvement so we can get the exact error over there on our Bitbucket itself. Additionally, if you can improve the speed optimization, it takes around 30 to 40 minutes for checking a build. If you can make it within five minutes or 10 minutes, that would be great. This feature is something I want from your side.

Integration with Checkmarx One is easy, so it is not complicated. However, reporting is complicated because it takes a lot of time to report the errors and it makes around 40 to 50 minutes for a build. After we push the code, it will give around 40 to 50 minutes. Therefore, you need to work on the reporting part and apart from that, it is doing a great job here.

You are doing a great job in checking the code quality, bug fixing, vulnerabilities, and security aspects. However, one thing you have to improve is your reporting time should be less. It takes around 40 to 50 minutes, so you need to reduce it to within 10 to 20 minutes.

For how long have I used the solution?

In my current project, I am using Checkmarx One and from the last four years, we have been working with Checkmarx.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution has been very stable. Scans run reliably, the platform is consistently available, and we haven’t experienced unexpected downtime. It’s dependable enough to integrate directly into our CI/CD workflow.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Overall, scalability has been solid. The platform supports our growing workloads and additional applications without requiring major configuration changes. A bit of tuning was needed in the beginning, but after that it has been smooth.

How are customer service and support?

Customer support has been excellent. The team is responsive, knowledgeable, and quick to assist when issues arise. Whether it’s configuration questions or troubleshooting, they consistently provide clear and actionable guidance.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before Checkmarx One, we relied on a mix of manual code reviews and basic scanning tools. As our codebase grew, this approach wasn’t scalable or consistent. We switched to Checkmarx One because it offered deeper coverage, automation, and a unified platform for SAST, SCA, and other security scans

How was the initial setup?

Setup was generally easy, but it required coordination between development and security teams to ensure SAST, SCA, and pipeline integrations were properly configured. Once aligned, the rollout was smooth.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented Checkmarx One using our in-house team. The setup was manageable with the documentation provided, and we were able to configure the platform without needing external assistance.

What was our ROI?

Our ROI has been strong. We’ve reduced manual code review time by around 25–30%, allowing developers to focus more on feature delivery. The automation and early detection of vulnerabilities have noticeably lowered rework costs.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Checkmarx One is a premium solution, so budget accordingly. Make sure you understand how licensing scales with additional applications and users. I advise negotiating multi-year contracts or bundles, as these can reduce costs and simplify licensing.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Yes, we evaluated a few other application security platforms, but Checkmarx One provided the best combination of accuracy, ease of integration, and centralized scanning capabilities

What other advice do I have?

I find this interview great, and there is nothing that I think should change for the future. You are doing a great job here.

If someone is looking for code quality, then my advice is to use Checkmarx One. This is the best solution to provide efficiency in your work, code compliance, security, and scalability in your code. You can also save a lot of time by using Checkmarx One to scan your code. I would recommend you, if you are looking to save time checking the code, then Checkmarx One is the best solution for you. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10.

Partner experiences excellent technical support and seamless initial setup

June 02, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I am a partner of the vendor, and I can say that one of the clients with whom I am working has bought the licenses for Checkmarx One, and we are actually doing the security scans of their whole application base, code base, and everything.

Whatever solutions were provided by, or suggested by, Checkmarx One, we are going through them and implementing them. Some were valid and some were not applicable for us based on the scenario. That is the work experience I have working on Checkmarx One.

What is most valuable?

My experience with the initial setup of Checkmarx One is straightforward; it is not complex compared to other tools that I have tried.

Checkmarx One was deployed in a hybrid manner because they were scanning their production-based systems and then fixing the code base. It was hybrid, maybe on-premises with them, not completely on cloud.

My clients for Checkmarx One are usually enterprise-sized businesses. I have seen a return on investment from Checkmarx One.

What needs improvement?

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.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability of this solution a nine on a scale of 1 to 10 where one is low stability and 10 is high.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability of this solution an eight on a scale of 1 to 10, where one is low scalability and 10 is high scalability.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate technical support a nine from 1 to 10, where one is low quality of their technical support and 10 is high quality.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment from Checkmarx One.

What other advice do I have?

The price of Checkmarx One should be fine as of now.

I would rate this solution a nine overall, from 1 to 10, where one is the worst solution and 10 is the best solution.

Brilliant Code to Cloud Application

December 16, 2024
Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?

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.

What do you dislike about the product?

The dahsboards layour and display could be improved.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Checkmarx is being used mainly for the scanning and checking of code before it makes the journey to the Cloud (AWS). We are using it to look at all the languages and frameworks that we have in our Tech/Data Stack that are incorporated into our IT Landscape. One of the main benefits is that it allows our developers to identify, detect and remediate vulnerabilities at source. It also allows them to edit queries easily and quickly.
