Checkmarx vs Fortify:
AppSec Platform Comparison
Go To The AppSec Experts
Don't settle for application security solutions from providers that don't specialize in AppSec. At Checkmarx, we're fully committed to helping large-scale enterprises secure every phase of development for every application, while also balancing the dynamic needs of CISOs, security, and development teams.
More expertise and support
Fortify by OpenText (previously HP Fortify/Fortify Software) customers report poor support and slow response times - because Fortify is one of OpenText's 400+ solutions.
Checkmarx has more expertise in AppSec and can provide premium personal support, and serve as your partner, from AppSec program development to optimization and ongoing growth every step of the way.
Better developer experience
Legacy solutions, like Fortify, don't integrate well with modern development workflows.
Checkmarx provides easy integration with your IDE, SCM, and feedback channels.
Comprehensive AppSec platform
OpenText limits R&D spend into Fortify, resulting in disjointed solutions.
Checkmarx One provides a unified and consolidated AppSec platform with multiple solutions, a correlation layer, and a common set of integrations.

AI Query Builder For SAST
One of the strengths of Checkmarx SAST is the flexibility to go wide or deep based on application criticality. However, not everyone knows how to write custom queries to fine-tune SAST for their specific applications.
Now, powered by AI Query Builder for SAST, AppSec teams can use AI to write custom SAST queries, fine-tune or modify existing queries, and add new use cases to search for vulnerabilities.
AI Query Builder quickly generates custom queries that cover a broader range of potential vulnerabilities, reducing false positives and negatives by up to 90%.
Why Checkmarx Stands Out
Consolidated AppSec platform
OpenText Fortify may have multiple AppSec solutions on paper, but only limited integration and correlation between them.
Checkmarx protects more of your application, from source code, open-source packages, and APIs to IaC and containers to your entire software supply chainall in a unified AppSec platform, providing an app-centric view, and seamless UI.


Code repository scanning
Without direct repository scanning, OpenText Fortify does not have access to the complete codebase, potentially missing vulnerabilities.
With Checkmarx, scan directly from the repos and on check-in, so you can find and fix vulnerabilities before they end up in your software projects.
SAST query customization
Fortify doesn’t provide the ability to customize queries. Checkmarx does.
Custom queries provide a uniquely flexible and powerful mechanism to tailor your SAST solution to your specific application requirements, drive the highest accuracy, and reduce alert fatigue.


Technology that builds #DevSecTrust
Checkmarx helps you design a developer experience that builds trust with your developers, enabling you to both find and fix vulnerabilities and reduce risk.
With Checkmarx One, you have all the tools you need to help developers prioritize and make the greatest impact, bring security into their workflows and meet them where they live, and equip them with the tools and knowledge they need to improve productivity and grow their skills.
Prioritize Your Findings With Accurate Results
Avoid false positives and false negatives with custom presets and queries, while receiving optimization guidance from our professional services experts, who will guide you every step of the way.
Develop Secure Applications Easily
Meet your developers where they are. Checkmarx SAST seamlessly integrates directly into developers preferred work environment, and allows them to see where and how to fix vulnerable code.
Save Time Fixing Vulnerabilities
Remediate vulnerabilities faster by only scanning the changed code. There's no need to rescan an entire application every time.
Mitigate API Risk Faster
Discover and assess APIs everywhere throughout the lifecycle, in documentation, source code, and dynamic testing to address risks efficiently.
Prioritized Remediation
Focus your AppSec teams and developers on the most critical issues, by prioritizing API vulnerabilities based on their business value and risk.
