You should primarily focus on what your use case is and why you are moving out. If you are moving out just from the perspective of cost, I do not think Semgrep is the best solution for you. However, if you are looking for value for investment and want to have the complete visibility into your code with less noise, if you are not just looking for a SAST but are really looking for actionable results and want to improve your developer experience and feedback, then you should go for Semgrep. In my organization, it is not only me who selects the solution; I bring in developers from junior and senior levels of all experience and ask them to take a hands-on experience and give me feedback. If you want to improve the developer experience, then go for Semgrep. Compared to other competitors in the market, the AI-backed capability is the biggest strength of Semgrep. The seamless integration is another major advantage because I have done it for a few other solutions, some of which are extremely difficult and some are okay, but the Semgrep integration with the code repository was the smoothest. The quality of results and reduction in noise are also strengths compared to other competitors. Semgrep also has a great strength in the number of rule sets they have compared to all other vendors. While all other vendors have very limited numbers even though they claim to be enterprise, their community edition itself has close to 4,000 rules and the enterprise edition has around 20,000 rules. That is a really strong advantage. As for limitations, I would say that Semgrep currently just supports Jira and Slack for integrations. They should expand to different integrations like ServiceNow and other CNAP and CSPM solutions where all results can be brought into one place. I would rate this review an 8 out of 10.
Find out what your peers are saying about Semgrep, SonarSource Sàrl, Snyk and others in Static Application Security Testing (SAST). Updated: January 2026.
SAST is a method designed to detect security vulnerabilities within an application's source code. By analyzing the code structure, SAST identifies potential flaws early in the development cycle, promoting secure coding practices and reducing the risk of security issues in production.
Unlike dynamic testing that examines an application during runtime, SAST operates on static code analysis. This early detection capability is crucial as it enables developers to address vulnerabilities before...

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
