    If you are going with SAST process or want to improve overall security posture then go for it like integrating it with post deployment steps. If you are more concerned about proactive controls better choose other options such as pee-commit hooks and CI security. Also choose other tools for DAST and API scans.

    MobSF is good for checking for vulnerabilities in your app. It will also give suggestions on how to address them. Another thing is can do is find code that may be incorrect. It is not, however, a substitute for a system that actually checks your code for proper use. It really is concentrated on security.

    Usability
    Checkmarx
    Their API based customizations which I leveraged to create an ASPM package, which is developer friendly and can extend above the dashboard features, other ones are UI which is great and feels clutter free. Menu and navigation is also good so as support. Only drawback is sometimes scan takes longer which I feel so can be reduced

    Checkmarx is easier to integrate with development tools and gives quick feedback during coding, which is helpful for developers. Veracode is more focused on scanning and reporting for compliance, but it’s more complex to set up. We chose Checkmarx because it fits better into our development process, offering faster scans and more useful suggestions for fixing problems

    In my opinion, MobSF is not as comprehensive as SonarQube. Both, however, do a very good job in scanning your code for vulnerabilities. Both do roughly the same things. The reports of SonarQube are more detailed though. The advantage that MobSF has over SonarQube is the price. One is free while the other is a paid solution (with several tiers). However, we use them together to get a more comprehensive scan.
