Legacy Enterprise SAST vs
an Agentic Security Harness.
Checkmarx and Veracode are the enterprise SAST incumbents — they scan code and produce reports. Console is the replacement story: custom detection agents, agentic triage, narrative reporting, and 72-hour onboarding instead of months of professional services.

Console replaces the stack.
Checkmarx and Veracode scan source code and produce PDFs. Console is the replacement: custom detection agents tuned to your codebase, agentic triage, narrative reports engineers actually read, and 72-hour onboarding instead of months of professional services.
CHECKMARX / VERACODE
Enterprise SAST incumbents. Strong on compliance certifications, broad language coverage, and audit-trail credibility. Scan code, produce reports, file alongside SOC 2 evidence.
AMPLIFY CONSOLE
Agentic security harness. Custom detection agents tuned to your codebase, priority-aware triage, narrative reports leadership actually reads, and onboarding in days — not quarters.
Enterprise SAST does compliance.
Console does security work.
Not a takedown. A clear map of where each tool starts and stops.
The honest answer.
Checkmarx and Veracode are still the safe choice for compliance-driven enterprises with locked-in procurement. Console is the choice for security engineers who want speed, customization, and tools their team will actually use.
KEEP USING CHECKMARX/VERACODE WHEN:
- You need specific enterprise compliance certifications
- Established audit trails are a procurement mandate
- Your team is locked into long contracts that aren't renegotiable
- Broad legacy language coverage is critical
- Compliance is the primary security deliverable
SWITCH TO CONSOLE WHEN:
- You want speed, customization, and actual usability
- Custom detection agents matter more than vendor CVE lists
- Onboarding in 72 hours beats months of professional services
- Month-to-month contracts beat 3-year commits
- Reports engineers actually read are a requirement, not a wish
Console can run alongside your existing Checkmarx or Veracode deployment during transition. No rip-and-replace required.
Your SAST vendor wrote the report.
