“Checkmarx strengthens security-as-code to help build secure applications”

Jan 23, 2026
The overall experience with CheckmarX has been truly exceptional. The vendor has been very supportive of us throughout the implementation and post-implementation phases, addressing our concerns promptly and smoothly. They also consistently share updates and newly added features, taking time to explain them clearly to our team. CheckmarX's SAST solution is reliable and suited for development and security teams looking to integrate security seamlessly into their process. More importantly, it plays a critical or crucial role in strengthening our application security by identifying vulnerabilities in the early development cycle, reducing risk, and ensuring that our product or application is secure and compliant.

Checkmarx SAST Likes & Dislikes

Like

What I like most about CheckmarX is its ability to detect vulnerabilities and compliance issues throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and provide feedback into actionable items for remediation. This helps us strengthen our security posture by reducing risk before deploying the code to production.

Like

Our team now has dedicated Appsec engineers to deal with false positive request. User interface is good but slow. Checkmarx users can view the results and navigate to the vulnerable code easily. Attack vectors are there for the input and output flow. With the latest version of Checkmarx SAST, the best fix line of code is also provided.

Like

The checkmarx support team stands always helpful and support whenever we face issues, and the TAM she always stands with us in all our task.

Dislike

The main challenge sometimes is the scan time as CheckmarX scans large repositories and projects.

Dislike

Support lead from the product team. Issues in pipeline giving errors but errors are hard to understand.

Dislike

The dashboard, there is no options in SAST to create the customize dashboard.
