Enable secure development workflows while identifying opportunities for faster scans and improved AI guidance
Checkmarx One is a very strong platform, but there are several areas where it can improve to support modern DevSecOps workflows even better. For example, better real-time developer guidance is needed. The IDE plugin should offer richer AI-powered auto-fixes similar to SNYK Code or GitHub Copilot Security, as current guidance is good but not deeply contextual for large-scale enterprise codebases. This matters because it reduces developer friction and accelerates shift-left adoption. More transparency control over the correlation engines is another need. The correlation engine is powerful but not fully transparent. Users want to understand why vulnerabilities were correlated or de-prioritized, which helps AppSec teams trust the prioritization logic. Faster SAST scan and more language coverage is needed since SAST scan can still be slow for very large mono-repos and there is limited deep support for new language frameworks like Rust and Go, along with advanced coverage for serverless-specific frameworks. This matters because large organizations want sub-minute scans in CI/CD as cloud-native ecosystems evolve fast. A strong API security module is another area for enhancement. API security scanning could be improved with active testing, API discovery, full Swagger, OpenAPI, drift detection, and schema-based fuzzing. This is important as API attacks are one of the biggest AppSec risks in 2025. Checkmarx One is strong, but I see a few areas for improvement including faster SAST scanning for large mono-repos, deeper language framework support, more transparent correlation logic, and stronger API security that includes discovery and runtime context. The IDE plugin could offer more AI-assisted fixes, and the SBOM lifecycle tracking can evolve further. Enhancing integration with SIEM and SOAR would also make enterprise adoption smoother, and these improvements would help developers and AppSec teams move faster with more accuracy.

Unified dashboard has simplified managing multiple scanners and improved vulnerability remediation
The best feature and biggest benefit of the product is the ability to manage different scanners from a single dashboard. Regarding analytics capability, Kondukto provides actionable insights into security needs because it performs all the work on the customer's behalf. It checks findings and vulnerabilities from different scanners, confirms that all findings are matched together, and makes it clear and confident that the final finding is truly a vulnerability requiring action. Regarding automation features, Kondukto is fully automated and fully integrated with a plug and play approach. In terms of integration with DevOps pipelines, the benefit is that Kondukto itself is not an integration tool. The DAST tool is integrated, and I can manage the scanner. The tool itself, whether it is DAST or SAST, will be integrated with DevOps and other tools like notification tools, SIEM, and SOC. The scanner tool itself will be managed under Kondukto, but Kondukto does not provide integration. There is no need because the scanner itself will integrate with other tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Scan reviews can occur during the development lifecycle."
"The reports are very good because they include details on the code level, and make suggestions about how to fix the problems."
"The solution communicates where to fix the issue for the purpose of less iterations."
"I have seen a return on investment from Checkmarx One."
"Overall, the ability to find vulnerabilities in the code is better than the tool that we were using before."
"From my point of view, it is the best product on the market."
"The ability to track the vulnerabilities inside the code (origin and destination of weak variables or functions)."
"The most valuable features of Checkmarx are the SCA module and the code-checking module. Additionally, the solutions are explanatory and helpful."
"Kondukto helps consolidate security findings by correlating them to minimize false positives and giving customers a complete and clear vision of high critical findings in an easy way."
 

Cons

"The stability of Checkmarx could improve. We're having issues with it, and the scan reliability is sometimes impacted so we sometimes have to restart the services to allow scans out of the queue."
"Scanning speed optimization is an area where improvements can be made, and we can reduce false positives."
"The validation process needs to be sped up."
"There are some downtimes when Checkmarx One is being upgraded to the latest version or some improvement is there."
"Creating and editing custom rules in Checkmarx is difficult because the license for the editor comes at an additional cost, and there is a steep learning curve."
"Checkmarx could improve the solution reports and false positives. The false positives could be reduced. For example, we have alerts that are tagged as vulnerabilities but when you drill down they are not."
"Presently they support micro-services, but the supporting methodology of the micro-services is not good enough at the moment."
"Checkmarx is not good because it has too many false positive issues."
"The primary concerns I have are that it is somewhat expensive, support would rate as seven, and there were licensing activation issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license has a vague language around P1 issues and the associated support. Make sure to review these in order to align them with your organizational policies."
"The interface used to create custom rules comes at an additional cost."
"Before implementing the product I would evaluate if it is really necessary to scan so many different languages and frameworks. If not, I think there must be a cheaper solution for scanning Java-only applications (which are 90% of our applications)."
"We got a special offer for a 30% reduction for three years, after our first year. I think for a real source-code scanning tool, you have to add a lot of money for Open Source Analysis, and AppSec Coach (160 Euro per user per year)."
"We have a subscription license that is on a yearly basis, and it's a pretty competitive solution."
"The number of users and coverage for languages will have an impact on the cost of the license."
"For around 250 users or committers, the cost is approximately $500,000."
"It is a good product but a little overpriced."
