Cloud & Devsecops Lead Engineer at Aon Corporation
Integrated workflows have transformed security reviews and provide end-to-end risk visibility
The best features that Ox Security offers include real-time visibility and actionable intelligence. Also, I love the intuitive interface and seamless integrations. Regarding the features of Ox Security, I love the pipeline functionality, which allows the creation of customized workflows based on scan results, making prevention and notification processes highly adaptable. I also love the visibility it provides, which is end-to-end security visibility covering the entire development lifecycle from code writing and storage to security testing, deployment, and infrastructure management. I also love its powerful pipeline system, which enables us to automate notifications to relevant teams based on issue origin and type while also enforcing security policies by blocking new code when prohibited issue types are detected. The intuitive interface makes it easy to pinpoint vulnerabilities early, prioritize critical issues, and streamline remediation processes. The seamless integration with existing DevOps tools ensures that security insights flow naturally into development workflows without creating bottlenecks. I also love the real-time visibility and actionable intelligence. It fosters a security-first mindset, boosting both the confidence of my development team and the overall resilience of our applications. Regarding Ox Security's AI capabilities, I find its governance and security capabilities to be very strong, particularly in helping us identify risks and maintaining visibility across the software development process. I also value the focus on data protection, access control, and responsible use of AI. The AI capabilities are generally accurate and reliable, especially in helping us identify vulnerabilities and highlighting potential risks very easily. They help us reduce manual effort and speed up security reviews.

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 seamless integration with existing DevOps tools ensures that security insights flow naturally into development workflows without creating bottlenecks."
"Ox Security has positively impacted my organization by helping to reduce the amount of noise we received from vulnerabilities because of the prioritization scoring it has and all of the context it provides."
"As a service provider, I believe the biggest advantage of Ox Security is its simplicity and the clarity of the issues, along with a very good dashboard showing the state of the company."
"Snyk allows us to spend less time securing applications, increasing their productivity."
"It has an accurate database of vulnerabilities with a low amount of false positives."
"The best feature of Snyk is the integration with our ticketing system, which is Jira."
"It is one of the best product out there to help developers find and fix vulnerabilities quickly."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that they add a lot of their own information to the vulnerabilities. They describe vulnerabilities and suggest their own mitigations or version upgrades. The information was the winning factor when we compared Snyk to others. This is what gave it more impact."
"The fact that it provides visibility, compliance-related visibility, that is not readily available by cloud suppliers themselves, is its most valuable aspect."
"Snyk is a developer-friendly product."
 

Cons

"The main pain point I have with Ox Security as a tool is the user interface, which can feel quite complex when navigating large datasets."
"My overall review rating for Ox Security is zero."
"One area that Ox Security could improve is the dashboard customization and reporting."
"I use Snyk alongside Sonar, and Snyk tends to generate a lot of false positives. Improving the overall report quality and reducing false positives would be beneficial. I don't need additional features; just improving the existing ones would be enough."
"Could include other types of security scanning and statistical analysis"
"Basically the licensing costs are a little bit expensive."
"There is always more work to do around managing the volume of information when you've got thousands of vulnerabilities. Trying to get those down to zero is virtually impossible, either through ignoring them all or through fixing them. That filtering or information management is always going to be something that can be improved."
"We were using Microsoft Docker images. It was reporting some vulnerabilities, but we were not able to figure out the fix for them. It was reporting some vulnerabilities in the Docker images given by Microsoft, which were out of our control. That was the only limitation. Otherwise, it was good."
"The solution's reporting and storage could be improved."
"You need to go to the tool, export it as a CSV, and then find it, which is ridiculous."
"They were a couple of issues which happened because Snyk lacked some documentation on the integration side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We are using the open-source version for the scans."
"Their licensing model is fairly robust and scalable for our needs. I believe we have reached a reasonable agreement on the licensing to enable hundreds of developers to participate in this product offering. The solution is very tailored towards developers and its licensing model works well for us."
"The solution is less expensive than Black Duck."
"The product has good pricing."
"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."
"It's good value. That's the primary thing. It's not cheap-cheap, but it's good value."
"You can get a good deal with Snyk for pricing. It's a little expensive, but it is worth it."
"It's inexpensive and easy to license. It comes in standard package sizing, which is straightforward. This information is publicly found on their website."
