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.

Useful for cloud data protection, particularly for email and file-sharing systems
For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto. The solution should also expand integration from the public cloud to the private cloud and add Cloud DLP and CASB features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is very easy to install, provides clear information that is easy to follow, and we get good feedback regarding code practices and how to fix security issues."
"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 has allowed our developers to spend less time securing applications, increasing their productivity."
"It is a really nice tool if you really want to do the dependency check and security scanning of your code, which falls under static code analysis."
"The major reason why customers prefer Snyk is that, nowadays, people are moving towards cloud-native tools."
"Snyk is a good and scalable tool."
"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."
"We use Snyk to check vulnerabilities and rectify potential leaks in GitHub."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"This is a very dependable solution and we are able to have a lot of Trend Micro security products integrated between each other."
 

Cons

"Compatibility with other products would be great."
"The way Snyk notifies if we have an issue, there are a few options: High vulnerability or medium vulnerability. The problem with that is high vulnerabilities are too broad, because there are too many. If you enable notifications, you get a lot of notifications, When you get many notifications, they become irrelevant because they're not specific. I would prefer to have control over the notifications and somehow decide if I want to get only exploitable vulnerabilities or get a specific score for a vulnerability. Right now, we receive too many high vulnerabilities. If we enable notifications, then we just get a lot of spam message. Therefore, we would like some type of filtering system to be built-in for the system to be more precise."
"It would be great if they can include dynamic, interactive, and run-time scanning features."
"The tool should provide more flexibility and guidance to help us fix the top vulnerabilities before we go into production."
"There are a lot of false positives that need to be identified and separated."
"Offering API access in the lower or free open-source tiers would be better. That would help our customers. If you don't have an enterprise plan, it becomes challenging to integrate with the rest of the systems. Our customers would like to have some open-source integrations in the next release."
"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."
"It can be improved from the reporting perspective and scanning perspective. They can also improve it on the UI front."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"The cost of the license is on the high side."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"The pricing of this solution is quite high, about double what other similar solutions cost."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive compared to other solutions."
"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"
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We are using the open-source version for the scans."
"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."
"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 solution is less expensive than Black Duck."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
