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.
