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

"Performance management is a shared concern and APM tools must be used by all people involved in the build and run process."
"Great reduction in resolution time: proactive identification of errors before users send incidents."
"Gives us clear information on what is going wrong and where we need to focus to improve our applications, with real added value in our IT internal and external organization as we open Nudge APM dashboard to our outsourced suppliers."
"Nudge APM helps my organization to meet all SLA requirements, thanks to alert triggers."
"Snyk's ability to scan all of those every time we build, and keep a running status of them and recheck them daily, is extremely valuable for making us aware of what's going on."
"The dependency checks of the libraries are very valuable, but the licensing part is also very important because, with open source components, licensing can be all over the place. Our project is not an open source project, but we do use quite a lot of open source components and we want to make sure that we don't have surprises in there."
"Snyk finds problems that we may not have ever found otherwise, so it is a significant benefit for us."
"It has a nice dashboard where I can see all the vulnerabilities and risks that they provided. I can also see the category of any risk, such as medium, high, and low. They provide the input priority-wise. The team can target the highest one first, and then they can go to medium and low ones."
"The product's most valuable features are an open-source platform, remote functionality, and good pricing."
"Static code analysis is one of the best features of the solution."
"Snyk categorizes the level of vulnerability into high, medium, and low, which helps organizations prioritize which issues to tackle first."
"It hits ROI for us very well in a couple of areas that we want to address: to ensure that we don't have surprises when it comes to vulnerabilities on our dependencies — libraries and images — and from a compliance point of view, we don't want to be in a situation where we're forced to publish code because someone has decided to use libraries that would force us to either publish everything under GPL or put us in a situation where licenses are not compatible and we would have to redo part of the code."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement on the portal to access the collected data, but it has already been enhanced with great zooming features."
"No automatic alerting"
"Technically, we have better vulnerabilities detection in Checkmarx and Veracode. Both of them are more precise about vulnerabilities detection."
"There are a lot of false positives that need to be identified and separated."
"The solution could improve the reports. They have been working on improving the reports but more work could be done."
"Could include other types of security scanning and statistical analysis"
"Snyk's API and UI features could work better in terms of speed."
"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"
"The tool should provide more flexibility and guidance to help us fix the top vulnerabilities before we go into production."
"Fugue capabilities are not well understood on the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I didn't think the price was that great, but it wasn't that bad, either. I'd rate their pricing as average in the market."
"Snyk is an expensive solution."
"I would rate the pricing of Snyk at two. I'm currently using the free version, which the company offers before buying the full version. So, the price is affordable, especially for an enterprise."
"You can get a good deal with Snyk for pricing. It's a little expensive, but it is worth it."
"Cost-wise, it's similar to Veracode, but I don't know the exact cost."
"We are using the open-source version for the scans."
"The product has good pricing."
