Attack paths have become visible and cost control is strong but application monitoring still needs work

In my opinion, the best feature of CloudSphere is the attack path analysis, which really helps me to understand how the path works, the misconfigurations, the vulnerabilities, and how they chain together to demonstrate the attack path system. The cost management feature in CloudSphere really helps me so much; it helps me to know the cost visibility, identify the unused resources, eliminate waste, and also helps me in my spending by service across my team and in my overall environment. Using CloudSphere for three years has really helped me tighten my CI/CD pipelines and also my risk-based analytics, understand my attack pathways, the vulnerabilities, and the misconfigurations in my system. CloudSphere's predictive insight really helps me to dictate attack pathway analysis, assisting in mitigating any infrastructure challenges. CloudSphere really helps me with cloud visibility, risk identification, asset discovery, and attack path analysis; they are doing very well in the market right now compared to other software.

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

"CloudSphere really helps me with cloud visibility, risk identification, asset discovery, and attack path analysis; they are doing very well in the market right now compared to other software."

"The scalability of the solution is a godsend."

"The product is helpful for the management, optimization, and utilization of resources."

"For the customers I work with, it provides flexibility as far as storage is concerned, so it's security and access."

"When I started using CloudSphere, it wasn't mature, and it had multiple issues. For example, my team experienced server issues while using the solution, but recently, I noticed how much CloudSphere has improved. There used to be some latency issues with CloudSphere. It even gave error messages in the past when you select an option such as "the web server is not responding", but it has improved a lot, and now I don't get any errors from CloudSphere. What I like best about CloudSphere is that it has a lot of beneficial features, and it has a single pane for managing multi-cloud environments, which I find very helpful, and it's the main benefit you can get from CloudSphere."

"We do not need to install any appliances or any agents."

"Provides multiple kinds of services for managing the clouds of multiple customers."

"CloudSphere is a good solution that works well and can integrate with multiple clouds and manage all our customers."

More CloudSphere pros

"Snyk is a good and scalable tool."

"A main feature of Snyk is that when you go with SCA, you do get properly done security composition, also from the licensing and open-source parameters perspective. A lot of companies often use open-source libraries or frameworks in their code, which is a big security concern. Snyk deals with all the things and provides you with a proper report about whether any open-source code or framework that you are using is vulnerable. In that way, Snyk is very good as compared to other tools."

"The solution has great features and is quite stable."

"Snyk allows us to spend less time securing applications, increasing their productivity."

"It is easy for developers to use. The documentation is clear as well as the APIs are good and easily readable. It's a good solution overall."

"We're loving some of the Kubernetes integration as well. That's really quite cool. It's still in the early days of our use of it, but it looks really exciting. In the Kubernetes world, it's very good at reporting on the areas around the configuration of your platform, rather than the things that you've pulled in. There's some good advice there that allows you to prioritize whether something is important or just worrying. That's very helpful."

"The most prominent reason why everybody goes with Snyk as a starting point is because they have an open source offering, and as such, it is a developer-friendly solution that our developers really like, deliberately made to be developer-friendly from the start with lots of integrations that fit with other tools."

"Snyk's focus on security is a valuable feature. Also Snyk supports multiple programming languages, which has positively affected my security practices. I use only two or three languages, and when I change the language in a file, it detects it in the same suite. I find the AI-powered scanning overall beneficial.Using Snyk's AI-powered scanning, I can detect around ten or twenty errors in my project with about twenty thousand lines of code, so it helps improve my project by identifying a lot of potential vulnerabilities."

More Snyk pros

Cons

"In terms of areas with room for improvement, I find the management area, the application-focused management area, the end-to-end application visibility, the integration of a direct CI/CD pipeline for developers, and the real-time monitoring and fast response have room for enhancement."

"The main issue I experienced from CloudSphere was recently resolved, but an area for improvement in the solution is that it lacks the functionality of migrating resources from one public cloud to another. If CloudSphere could provide that functionality, that would be very beneficial to users and companies."

"When we start the scanning of, for example, 500 servers, it will not handle the scan. We need to differentiate the jobs - for example, one job for 100 servers, a second job for another 100 servers, et cetera."

"The next feature I would like to have full disclosure of what's being done with the data."

"One of the cons of this product is that it will not discover all the applications running."

"There are quite a number of services that can't be deployed using CloudSphere."

"The solution must have a single management console for the resources and VMs."

"Their customer support leaves a lot to be desired. The standards are not that great."

More CloudSphere cons

"Right now, we receive too many high vulnerabilities. If we enable notifications, then we just get a lot of spam message."

"The reporting mechanism of Snyk could improve. The reporting mechanism is available only on the higher level of license."

"All such tools should definitely improve the signatures in their database. Snyk is pretty new to the industry."

"A feature we would like to see is the ability to archive and store historical data, without actually deleting it."

"Although Snyk is strong, sometimes it flags vulnerabilities that are not reachable, not exploitable, and not relevant to a project."

"We have seen cases where tools didn't find or recognize certain dependencies. These are known issues, to some extent, due to the complexity in the language or stack that you using. There are some certain circumstances where the tool isn't actually finding what it's supposed to be finding, then it could be misleading."

"It lists projects. So, if you have a number of microservices in an enterprise, then you could have pages of findings. Developers will then spend zero time going through the pages of reports to figure out, "Is there something I need to fix?" While it may make sense to list all the projects and issues in these very long lists for completeness, Snyk could do a better job of bubbling up and grouping items, e.g., a higher level dashboard that draws attention to things that are new, the highest priority things, or things trending in the wrong direction. That would make it a lot easier. They don't quite have that yet in container security."

More Snyk cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It depends on how that model will be used. It might be anywhere between $4 and $15 per license per month. It’s less expensive than other options."

"The product is very expensive."

"For what Snyk offers, it has the best cost-benefit I have ever seen because you're buying the license per user."

"Pricing-wise, it is not expensive as compared to other tools. If you have a couple of licenses, you can scan a certain number of projects. It just needs to be attached to them."

"Despite Snyk's coverage, scalability, reliability, and stability, it is available at a very competitive price."

"Snyk is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The product has good pricing."

"With Snyk, you get what you pay for. It is not a cheap solution, but you get a comprehensiveness and level of coverage that is very good. The dollars in the security budget only go so far. If I can maximize my value and be able to have some funds left over for other initiatives, I want to do that. That is what drives me to continue to say, "What's out there in the market? Snyk's expensive, but it's good. Is there something as good, but more affordable?" Ultimately, I find we could go cheaper, but we would lose the completeness of vision or scope. I am not willing to do that because Snyk does provide a pretty important benefit for us."

"The pricing is acceptable, especially for enterprises. I don't think it's too much of a concern for our customers. Something like $99 per user is reasonable when the stakes are high."
