Coverity Alternative Platforms
Checkmarx SAST vs. Coverity
For teams currently using Synopsys’s Coverity Scan searching for a Coverity alternative solution to boost security, Checkmarx SAST excels where Coverity falls short. From easier deployment and configuration, to simplified integration with modern CI/CD tools, to support for continuous scanning, Checkmarx delivers the capabilities teams need to manage security in complex, fast-moving environments.
Simple configuration
Coverity requires complex configuration, especially for developers who want to take advantage of its advanced capabilities.
By contrast, Checkmarx SAST offers a simplified configuration process, easily integrating into the SDLC process and tools that developers are already using that prioritizes the developer experience.
Fast, effective scans
According to The Forrester Wave: Static Application Security Testing (Q3 2023) report, Coverity scan speeds "are not in line with developer expectations," making it challenging to rely on Coverity to secure code in fast-moving CI/CD pipelines.
Checkmarx integrates seamlessly with popular CI/CD tools and moves as fast as your code.
Reliable scan results
False positive rates of as high as 20 percent are a common challenge for developers who rely on Coverity.
With Checkmarx, properly tuned environments and environments using Checkmarx’s base preset benefit from low false positive rates.

Checkmarx SAST vs. Coverity: Where Checkmarx stands out
Simple deployment and configuration
With a flexible deployment model, Checkmarx makes it quick and simple to get SAST scanning up and running in any environment. Checkmarx also offers an intuitive framework for writing custom scanning rules, making it easy for developers to tailor tests to their applications and risk tolerance levels.
In addition, Coverity’s complicated configuration process means that it takes significant time and effort to get the product up and running.
Continuous scanning
Security vulnerabilities don’t take breaks, and your scanning solution shouldn’t, either.
Checkmarx supports ongoing scanning, allowing you to detect security problems whenever they appear. Coverity relies on a more incremental approach that doesn’t always guarantee real-time visibility into security issues.
Keeping up with modern development
Today’s software development pipelines are highly dynamic environments where new code is constantly entering. Thanks to tight CI/CD integrations and continuous scanning, Checkmarx operates at the speed of modern development. Coverity’s limited integrations, makes the tool feel much less like a modern solution. It might have worked in the days of waterfall, but it doesn’t keep pace in a DevOps-centric world.
Fast time-to-value
In Checkmarx, you can add source repositories to scan and integrate with CI/CD tools in just a few clicks. You also get automated remediation guidance for IaC and SAST, helping you to make and implement plans for fixing security issues rapidly. The result is less time configuring your SAST product or interpreting scan results, and more time finding and fixing security risks.
By comparison, Coverity’s complex configuration engine and limited selection of CI/CD integrations leave developers less time to focus on what matters – delivering secure code. Coverity also lacks automated remediation guidance, making it harder for developers to figure out how to mitigate security flaws in their code.
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.
