User Testimonials
	Checkmarx	Rapid7 AppSpider
Likelihood to Recommend	Checkmarx 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. Incentivized Abhineet Sagar DevSecOps Engineer II Read full review	Rapid7 Rapid7 AppSpider could be your default DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing), it covers the OWASP top 10 for web and APIs. Great tools, with a very nice and understandable report and analytics, work excellent for one-shot or continuous monitoring of your web assets. Also has a fair amount of integrations with other popular tools. Incentivized Randy Varela Offensive Security Engineer Lead Read full review
Pros	Checkmarx Detects security vulnerabilities in source code with accuracy and detail. Integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, IDEs, and repositories. Provides clear reports and actionable fix recommendations for developers. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Rapid7 OWASP Top 10. Crawling web applications. Web application security testing. Incentivized Randy Varela Offensive Security Engineer Lead Read full review
Cons	Checkmarx Scan duration False positives Integration with other tools like Jenkins comes with some inconveniences. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Rapid7 Scan might be slow compared to other tools. Not a lot of training on the vendor side.

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 Incentivized Abhineet Sagar DevSecOps Engineer II Read full review	Rapid7 No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Checkmarx 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Rapid7 Incentivized Randy Varela Offensive Security Engineer Lead Read full review
Return on Investment	Checkmarx Improved ability to provide high level of IA confidence Improved confidence in application-level security Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Rapid7 Great ROI for consultant projects.
