Why Checkmarx
Stick with a reliable AppSec leader, not with a divestiture. Find out why Checkmarx is a better fit for your business.
Benefits
Unlike Coverity SAST, WhiteHat Dynamic DAST, & Black Duck SCA, Checkmarx One provides a unified experience across your code, APIs, and open source packages.
Black Duck Software (formerly Synopsys) requires developers to compile code before scanning. Checkmarx scans directly from the repo, so developers can find and fix vulnerabilities before production.
Integrating Black Duck Software (formerly Synopsys) into your SDLC is challenging – each solution is independent and haphazardly connected. With Checkmarx One, integrations are frictionless.
Black Duck Software (formerly Synopsys solutions are pieced together from acquisitions – Coverity SAST, WhiteHat Dynamic, and Black Duck SCA. They even still have their old names. Checkmarx One is built from the ground up.
App Risk Management, part of Checkmarx ASPM, consolidates vulnerabilities, risk ratings and prioritization guidance across an organization’s entire application portfolio into one comprehensive dashboard, directing developers towards the riskiest applications.

Seamless AppSec Experience
Black Duck Software (formerly Synopsys) is pieced together from acquired products, that were not built to work together. Each product offers a different UX.
Expect more from your AppSec platform. A platform must have the same look and feel, offer multi-engine scanning, and correlate and identify risks.
