User Testimonials
	Checkmarx	Orca Cloud Security Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	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	It's good for finding issues in SSH, ec2 instances, and so on. But it's not good at finding stuff for Serverless lambdas, for containers and some more. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Usability	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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	Wiz and aqua are pretty good but Orca has better UI.

Return on Investment	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.
