Experienced security and easy understanding with advanced customization enhances efficiency
Regarding automation, they could enhance features for checking real-time data when someone attempts to access data without proper permissions. Currently, we do not receive immediate alerts; we only discover issues after something goes wrong. Having prevention alerts immediately when someone triggers unauthorized actions would allow us to address these situations proactively.

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 stability of SAP BusinessObjects GRC is acceptable."
"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW."
"The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports"
"It improved the organization's reporting culture, giving us insights into health, management, and operational results."
"We have enterprise clients for the product."
"It is wonderful from the control perspective. The GRC tools help you in knowing what are the risk controls, how to mitigate risks, and how to ensure that there are no conflicts between the roles. From the user perspective, you get to know what are the permission risks and access risks. You get a lot of useful information."
"Initial setup was straightforward. It took maybe one week."
"The customization options in the dashboards inside SAP BusinessObjects GRC are highly valuable, and the real-time monitoring feature performs effectively, allowing teams to maintain data security by restricting domain visibility."
"The customization is excellent."
"Everything that the product promises it will do, it's been doing that for us."
"We have hundreds of source code repositories, and Snyk scans them in minutes (it just looks at package management files to identify the dependency tree), Snyk uses the same infrastructure to scan for all customers on the cloud which gives it lots of scalability opportunities compared to some other vendors where the software is installed on-prem or on a dedicated instance which makes the software pricy and limited."
"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."
"Snyk is a good tool that provides equivalent security standards compared to other expensive tools."
"The valuable aspect is its security capabilities."
"The most important feature of Snyk is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions such as Check Point."
"Snyk has allowed our developers to spend less time securing applications, increasing their productivity."
 

Cons

"An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."
"Currently, we do not receive immediate alerts; we only discover issues after something goes wrong."
"The learning curve is high."
"I am working on features that are not functioning as expected, which creates significant difficulties in management."
"BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly."
"I think the old system is better than the new one. From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to ensure that the new technologies it offers are better than the old ones."
"Technical support could be better and faster."
"We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support."
"We had some issues integrating into our pipeline, however, they were resolved."
"Fugue capabilities are not well understood on the market."
"They need to improve the Snyk plugins and make it easier to make your optimizations based on your own needs or features."
"The product is very expensive."
"Snyk has several limitations, including issues with Gradle, NPM, and Xcode, and trouble with AutoPR."
"Technically, we have better vulnerabilities detection in Checkmarx and Veracode. Both of them are more precise about vulnerabilities detection."
"The solution could improve the reports. They have been working on improving the reports but more work could be done."
"They were a couple of issues which happened because Snyk lacked some documentation on the integration side. Snyk is lacking a lot of documentation, and I would like to see them improve this. This is where we struggle a bit. For example, if something breaks, we can't figure out how to fix that issue. It may be a very simple thing, but because we don't have the proper documentation around an issue, it takes us a bit longer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a yearly licensing cost. I would rate their pricing 4 out of 5."
"SAP BusinessObjects GRC is expensive."
"The product's licensing costs involve a one-time purchase. The tool also allows others to make annual payments towards the licensing charges of the product."
"The license is costly."
"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."
"Snyk is a premium-priced product, so it's kind of expensive. The big con that I find frustrating is when a company charges extra for single sign-on (SSO) into their SaaS app. Snyk is one of the few that I'm willing to pay that add-on charge, but generally I disqualify products that charge an extra fee to do integrated authentication to our identity provider, like Okta or some other SSO. That is a big negative. We had to pay extra for that. That little annoyance aside, it is expensive. You get a lot out of it, but you're paying for that premium."
"It's inexpensive and easy to license. It comes in standard package sizing, which is straightforward. This information is publicly found on their website."
"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."
"Compared to Veracode, Snyk is definitely a cheaper tool."
"It is pretty expensive. It is not a cheap product."
"Snyk is an expensive solution."
"We are using the open-source version for the scans."
