Checkmarx vs. Findbugs

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.

Findbugs is best suited even when you want to adapt to certain coding conventions and discover possible bugs beforehand and it's best suited for the java open source. whether you are a developer or a DevOps engineer you can even use it as a plugin in your Jenkins pipeline or any other build automation server and your developer tool such as visual studio as well.

• Supports a large number of languages
• Finds a large variety of potential risks

• Scan the code for existing bugs present
• It can detect an vulnerabilities and also show possible bad warnings
• Can help identify errors in advance to avoid code crash post deployment

Incentivized

• DAST capability can be the one where it does not support native use case of using OTP based arch
• API Scanning is something that lacks a bit due to not much customizations
• Branch wise reports for SAST is not available

• It’s documentation is not always up to date
• Difficulty in finding a prper solution when an issue arises during its configuration
• has limited features

Checkmarx's usability is generally good, but it can be a bit complex for new users. The interface may take some time to get used to, especially for those unfamiliar with security tools. Once you become familiar with it, it’s effective and integrates well into development workflows.

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

Sonar cloud has its own cloud where all the code vulnerabilities are collected and stored as a whole whereas its a plugin that is used in a code itself but the cons is that SonarCloud needs a license if you want to use it privately and also requires personal access token authentication if used with an external service

Incentivized

• Great diversity of vulnerabilities covered.
• Quicker scans
• They are feature rich compared to other tools I used in the past.
• Dashboards are not customizable enough.
• High number of false positives take up time and sometimes make our report look bad.

Incentivized

• Its being used overall by most of the teams
• Some of the teams migrating to another testing tool as it has limited features
• Still recommend as its open source and beginners friendly
