Head-to-head comparison

Feature	Checkmarx	Scantient
Scanning approach	SAST (static code analysis)	External (live app monitoring)
Requires code	Yes (analyzes source code)	No (URL paste only)
What it checks	Vulnerabilities in source code	20+ runtime security checks
Setup complexity	High (IDE, CI/CD integration)	Low (2 minutes, paste URL)
Time to results	Minutes to hours	60 seconds
False positives	High (many code patterns flagged)	Low (verified security issues only)
Requires SDK?	Yes	No
Pricing model	Enterprise (seat-based)	$399/mo team plan
Developer overhead	High (needs code integration)	Zero (external scan)

When Checkmarx is better

✓You're analyzing source code for security flaws
✓You need SAST (static application security testing)
✓You want to catch vulnerabilities at code-review time
✓You're a large enterprise with dedicated security teams
✓You need deep code-level reporting and custom rules
✓You want shift-left security in CI/CD

When Scantient is better

✓You need quick security audits of live apps
✓You want zero developer overhead (external scan)
✓You need to check deployed app for runtime issues
✓You want compliance reports for auditors
✓You're a SMB or startup without huge security budgets
✓You want instant results (60 seconds) without setup

Real scenario: You want to verify app security

Checkmarx says:

Found 42 issues in source code
SQL injection risk in line 234
XSS vulnerability in user input handler
Weak cryptography in auth module

Setup: Days. Setup overhead: High (developers must integrate). Results: Code-level findings.

Scantient checks:

✓ Is your app actually vulnerable at runtime?
✓ Are secrets exposed in the deployed app?
✓ Missing security headers?
✓ Performance degradation?

Setup: 2 min. Setup overhead: Zero. Results: Deployed app security posture.

Checkmarx finds code vulnerabilities before deployment. Scantient finds runtime security gaps in live apps. Both are valuable for complete security.

The post-deploy gap

Checkmarx scans code before deployment. But what about after? Configuration issues, runtime secrets, performance degradation . these show up in production.

Scantient fills this gap with continuous post-deploy monitoring. Checkmarx + Scantient = complete security coverage.
