Compared to other competitors in the market, the AI-backed capability is the biggest strength of Semgrep.
Semgrep enhances code quality by eliminating vulnerabilities early in development with its AI-backed capability and seamless integration with CI/CD pipelines. Custom rule creation is its most valuable feature, improving code efficiency, saving development time, and boosting ROI. However, it sometimes provides false positives, scan completion can be inconsistent, and maintenance is complex. More configuration options for custom rules and better acquisition guidance for beginners would be beneficial.
