Stable with a good database and a good interface
We primarily use the solution to deal with problems in the production environment For us, the database is the most useful feature. The interface is great. We don't find the pricing to be too bad. The initial setup was fairly easy. I'm not sure how to improve the solution. It currently has all of…

Improves security posture by actively reducing critical vulnerabilities and guiding remediation
Snyk's main features include open-source vulnerability scanning, code security, container security, infrastructure as code security, risk-based prioritization, development-first integration, continuous monitoring and alerting, automation, and remediation. The best features I appreciate are the vulnerability checking, vulnerability scanning, and code security capabilities, as Snyk scans all open-source dependencies for known vulnerabilities and helps with license compliance for open-source components. Snyk integrates into IDEs, allowing issues to be caught as they appear in the code dynamically and prioritizes risk while providing remediation advice. Snyk provides actionable remediation advice on where vulnerabilities can exist and where code security is compromised, automatically scanning everything and providing timely alerts. Snyk has positively impacted my organization by improving the security posture across all software repositories, resulting in fewer critical vulnerabilities, more confidence in overall product security, and faster security compliance for project clients. Snyk has helped reduce vulnerabilities significantly. Initially, the repository had 17 to 31 critical and high vulnerabilities, but Snyk has helped manage them down to just five vulnerabilities, which are now lower and not high or critical.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup was fairly easy."
"The solution is stable, reliable, and doesn't have any bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"Snyk allows for scaling across large organizations, accommodating tens of thousands of applications and over 60,000 repositories, making it suitable for wide-scale deployment."
"Snyk helps me pinpoint security errors in my code."
"The product's most valuable features are an open-source platform, remote functionality, and good pricing."
"The most important feature of Snyk is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions such as Check Point."
"It has improved our vulnerability rating and reduced our vulnerabilities through the tool during the time that we've had it. It's definitely made us more aware, as we have removed scoping for existing vulnerabilities and platforms since we rolled it out up until now."
"It has an accurate database of vulnerabilities with a low amount of false positives."
"Fugue provides core capabilities that enable visualization, discovery, and compliance automation."
"They evolved their maturity because they could find the vulnerabilities before the pipeline runs."
 

Cons

"There are certain aspects of the configuration that could be simplified a bit."
"Generating reports and visibility through reports are definitely things they can do better."
"Snyk can be improved on the reporting aspect regarding the traceability of SCA."
"The reporting mechanism of Snyk could improve. The reporting mechanism is available only on the higher level of license. Adjusting the policy of the current setup of recording this report is something that can improve. For instance, if you have a certain license, you receive a rating, and the rating of this license remains the same for any use case. No matter if you are using it internally or using it externally, you cannot make the adjustment to your use case. It will always alert as a risky license. The areas of licenses in the reporting and adjustments can be improve"
"Snyk should improve the scanning capabilities for other languages. For example, Veracode is strong with different languages such as Java, C#, and others."
"The tool should provide more flexibility and guidance to help us fix the top vulnerabilities before we go into production."
"They were a couple of issues which happened because Snyk lacked some documentation on the integration side."
"All such tools should definitely improve the signatures in their database. Snyk is pretty new to the industry. They have a pretty good knowledge base, but Veracode is on top because Veracode has been in this business for a pretty long time. They do have a pretty large database of all the findings, and the way that the correlation engine works is superb. Snyk is also pretty good, but it is not as good as Veracode in terms of maintaining a large space of all the historical data of vulnerabilities."
"It would be helpful if we get a recommendation while doing the scan about the necessary things we need to implement after identifying the vulnerabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Despite Snyk's coverage, scalability, reliability, and stability, it is available at a very competitive price."
"You can get a good deal with Snyk for pricing. It's a little expensive, but it is worth it."
"The solution is less expensive than Black Duck."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price is good. Snyk had a good price compared to the competition, who had higher pricing than them. Also, their licensing and billing are clear."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a three. It is a cheap solution."
"It's good value. That's the primary thing. It's not cheap-cheap, but it's good value."
"The product's price is okay."
