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

"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 stability of SAP BusinessObjects GRC is acceptable."
"The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports"
"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW."
"It improved the organization's reporting culture, giving us insights into health, management, and operational results."
"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 best feature of Snyk is the integration with our ticketing system, which is Jira."
"Everything that the product promises it will do, it's been doing that for us."
"Our overall security has improved, we are running fewer severities and vulnerabilities in our packages, and we fixed a lot of the vulnerabilities that we didn't know were there."
"We feel more secure because we do have a way to measure the security and the risk factors of projects."
"Snyk allows developers and development managers to identify open-source vulnerabilities in every stage, and as a result the fix is much cheaper than identifying something in production, being up to 100 times less expensive and enabling a few early bug fixes to cover all the license fees for the annual subscription of Snyk."
"It is one of the best product out there to help developers find and fix vulnerabilities quickly. When we talk about the third-party software vulnerability piece and potentially security issues, it takes the load off the user or developer. They even provide automitigation strategies and an auto-fix feature, which seem to have been adopted pretty well."
"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."
 

Cons

"We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support."
"Technical support could be better and faster."
"The learning curve is high."
"An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."
"BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly."
"BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly. It should be made more user-friendly. In addition, if they could make predictive analytics an embedded part of it where people get to know what is there to offer, it would be great."
"Currently, we do not receive immediate alerts; we only discover issues after something goes wrong."
"I am working on features that are not functioning as expected, which creates significant difficulties in management."
"We've also had technical issues with blocking newly introduced vulnerabilities in PRs and that was creating a lot of extra work for developers in trying to close and reopen the PR to get rid of some areas. We ended up having to disable that feature altogether because it wasn't really working for us and it was actually slowing down developer velocity."
"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."
"All such tools should definitely improve the signatures in their database. Snyk is pretty new to the industry."
"They need to improve the Snyk plugins and make it easier to make your optimizations based on your own needs or features."
"It would be great if they can include dynamic, interactive, and run-time scanning features."
"You need to go to the tool, export it as a CSV, and then find it, which is ridiculous."
"Snyk has several limitations, including issues with Gradle, NPM, and Xcode, and trouble with AutoPR."
"The solution's reporting and storage could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a yearly licensing cost. I would rate their pricing 4 out of 5."
"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."
"SAP BusinessObjects GRC is expensive."
"The license is costly."
"We are using the open-source version for the scans."
"The license model is based on the number of contributing developers. Snyk is expensive, for a startup company will most likely use the community edition, while larger companies will buy the licensed version. The price of Snyk is more than other SLA tools."
"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."
"We do have some missing licenses issues, especially with non-SPDX compliant one, but we expect this to be fixed soon"
"Despite Snyk's coverage, scalability, reliability, and stability, it is available at a very competitive price."
"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."
"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."
