For the second year in a row, we asked Tolly Group to test our SAST and SCA solutions against another one of our top competitors. The results show that Checkmarx’ solutions overwhelmingly yield more accurate results and fewer false alerts.

Compared to the ‘dev-friendly’ competitor, the report found that Checkmarx:

  • Reduces alert noise with 77% higher precision
  • “Looks deeper” identifying more than twice as many true vulnerabilities
  • Delivers a recall of .98 (true positive rate), over 8x that of the competitor
  • Misses fewer vulnerabilities with a much lower false negative rate (1.94% vs 79.46%)

 

Read the report and draw your own conclusions. For us, it demonstrates that Checkmarx is the clear winner if you want genuinely developer friendly AppSec that is always ready to run and meets the needs of both security and development.
