## What the models said for it

- "Positioned as "Enterprise SAST with broadest coverage" with 25+ languages and Gartner Leader in Application Security Testing for 7 years running." (Muse Glimmer 30B, SAST)
- "If you need maximum accuracy and have a dedicated security team, go with Checkmarx." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, SAST)
- "Checkmarx/Veracode for large enterprises with compliance requirements" (Grok 4.20, SAST)
- "Checkmarx is considered one of the most accurate SAST tools... However, it comes with significant licensing costs and integration effort." (MiniMax M2.5, SAST)

## And against it

- "For very constrained setups, avoid commercial tools like Checkmarx, Veracode, or Snyk's full SAST" (Grok 4.20, SAST)
- "Avoid pure enterprise tools like full Checkmarx or Veracode unless you have dedicated budget." (Grok 4.20, DAST)
- "excellent for compliance-heavy orgs but typically require custom pricing and larger dedicated teams, which is why they are less commonly recommended" (Muse Glimmer 30B, SAST)
- "can be capable, but confirm which SCA, malware, reachability, SBOM, and governance capabilities require separate modules" (Perplexity Sonar, SCA)
