Gives a full 360 degree view of vulnerabilities in static code

My personal overall experience with SAST is positive. I like that I can tweak queries myself and if there is something I can't do, support is just a phone call/ticket away. They respond to all inquiries very quickly.

PROS

The ability to use CI/CD pipelines so when the build task kicks off, scanning for static code and open source libraries is done at build time.

CONS

The only thing I do not like is we have some languages that the product does not support like ColdFusion and R-Code.

CxSAST - A great static software analyzer

PROS

CXSast has several very important advantages. The first is that the code is scanned before it is even compiled, this means that de developers can scan and fix while they are still in the coding process. Second CXSAST fully integrates in any devops proces. Scanning and reporting will be doen from within the screens developers work in, so no unneccesary switching between screens. (see extention CXflow) Nex to that the rules (or queries) are open, every one can see them or a organisation can tailor them to their own need. If needed a FP free setup can be created! V9.3 now enable installation of the engines on Linux, you can dockarize the stuff Last but not least CXSast can be setup with additions such as CX-SCA (opensource analysis) and CX-IAST (passive IAST scanning)

CONS

The installation can sometimes be difficult. However Checkmarx counters this by offering free installation services for their costumers.

Super expensive but also feels outdated

Overall I did not enjoy using it.

PROS

It certainly covers all the vulnerability rules you would ever need.

CONS

It is SUPER expensive, very slow and the reporting is too messy. It would have been better if it can take a more integrated into the code approach like Sonar.

Checkmarx a strong and reliable competitor

It has been a good experience, the support is fast and reliable. The tool work as expected and you can use the api integration to go even further.

PROS

Easy of use, the 0 complexity it adds to configure a new project, it feels to work in a collaborative way even in an on premise environment.

CONS

The implementation requires Windows and SQL, i would prefer that it runs on linux with postgresql. The reporting could be improved.

Reason for choosing CxSAST

We needed an on premise solution (veracode is 100% Cloud), and an easy y quick way to configure projects Fortify is a little bit complex, and depend on the language to be scanned

Reasons for switching to CxSAST

AppScan didn't have that native integration to SecDevOps environments

Preferred Vulnerability Management Tool

PROS

Can be used to analyse application, source code, byte code, and binaries for coding and design conditions.Key elements of the checkmarx dashboard can be split into two sections, namely scan, statistics and scan trends.

CONS

Unavailable or downtime of application causes delay in deploying the code through pipeline which is integrated with Checkmarx.

Intuitive software

PROS

Finding code vulnerabilities is hard. CxSAST makes it easy. Not only does it point out the vulnerability, it explains why the code is vulnerable, which is very valuable for future proofing code.

CONS

Can sometimes include false positives. However this is mitigated by selecting “proposed not exploitable” if necessary.
