CHECKMARX VS BLACKDUCK


As enterprises continue to adopt Salesforce products and services, organizations are confronted with a challenge: how to best secure their Salesforce implementations. Two of the most recognized solutions in this space are Checkmarx and Blackduck, both of which offer impressive features for managing and monitoring the security of Salesforce applications. In this article, we’ll compare Checkmarx and Blackduck to get a better understanding of how they work and how they can help organizations secure their Salesforce applications.

Checkmarx is a code scanning and application security solution. It is designed to help organizations uncover potential security issues in their code through automation and intelligence. Checkmarx can scan both native and cross-platform code, allowing organizations to be sure that their code is secure and without any potential vulnerabilities. Checkmarx also provides tools to quickly fix any potential security issues.

In contrast, Blackduck is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering. Blackduck provides a single platform to monitor, manage, and control the security of an organization’s Salesforce applications. It provides visibility into an organization’s entire Salesforce infrastructure, allowing them to identify threats and risks quickly. Blackduck allows organizations to quickly develop, deploy, and maintain secure applications. Additionally, it gives visibility into the health and performance of Salesforce applications, making it easier to pinpoint issues and address them effectively.

Both Checkmarx and Blackduck provide real-time alerts when security threats are identified in Salesforce implementations. They also provide continuous monitoring of Salesforce application security. With both solutions, organizations can enhance their security operations and gain visibility into potential threats.

Both solutions also provide reporting capabilities to get a better understanding of the security posture of their Salesforce applications. Checkmarx provides detailed analysis of vulnerabilities discovered in code, providing organizations with the ability to quickly review and address any potential security issues. Blackduck also provides detailed reporting, allowing organizations to make informed decisions regarding their security.

At the end of the day, there is no single right answer when it comes to choosing between Checkmarx and Blackduck for Salesforce solutions. Organizations should review the features of each solution and determine which one best meets their specific security needs and business objectives. With the right solution in place, organizations can secure their Salesforce implementations and protect their data.
