Used for image scanning and identifying vulnerabilities, but its integration with other services could be improved
The solution has improved or streamlined our process a lot for securing container images. We wanted to make sure we are deploying the secure Docker images. Snyk allowed us to check whether it is following our standard of docker images or not. We use Azure DevOps as our platform, and Snyk's integration with Azure DevOps was okay. However, Snyk's integration with JFrog Artifactory didn't go well. We use JFrog Artifactory to store the artifacts we download. We wanted to integrate Snyk with JFrog Artifactory to scan the binary artifacts we downloaded, but that broke our JFrog Artifactory for some reason. Instead of using it there, we are calling it directly from the pipeline. Snyk's automation features significantly reduced remediation times a couple of times. Sometimes, our developers scan the code from the environment and find some Java vulnerabilities. We fixed those vulnerabilities in the lower environment itself. The solution does not require any maintenance. The accuracy of Snyk's vulnerability detection is pretty good compared to other tools. I rate the solution's vulnerability detection feature an eight out of ten. I would recommend Snyk to other users because it is easy to implement and integrate with Azure DevOps and GitHub. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."
"I am impressed with the product's security vulnerability detection. My peers in security are praising the tool for its accuracy to detect security vulnerabilities. The product is very easy to onboard. It doesn't require a lot of preparation or prerequisites. It's a bit of a plug-and-play as long as you're using a package manager or for example, you are using a GitHub repository. And that is an advantage for this tool because developers don't want to add more tools to what they're currently using."
"The most effective feature in securing project dependencies stems from its ability to highlight security vulnerabilities."
"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."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Snyk is the software composition analysis."
"The product's most valuable features are an open-source platform, remote functionality, and good pricing."
"Snyk's focus on security is a valuable feature. Also Snyk supports multiple programming languages, which has positively affected my security practices. I use only two or three languages, and when I change the language in a file, it detects it in the same suite. I find the AI-powered scanning overall beneficial.Using Snyk's AI-powered scanning, I can detect around ten or twenty errors in my project with about twenty thousand lines of code, so it helps improve my project by identifying a lot of potential vulnerabilities."
"We're loving some of the Kubernetes integration as well. That's really quite cool. It's still in the early days of our use of it, but it looks really exciting. In the Kubernetes world, it's very good at reporting on the areas around the configuration of your platform, rather than the things that you've pulled in. There's some good advice there that allows you to prioritize whether something is important or just worrying. That's very helpful."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
"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."
"Compatibility with other products would be great."
"The solution could improve the reports. They have been working on improving the reports but more work could be done."
"It can be improved from the reporting perspective and scanning perspective. They can also improve it on the UI front."
"The tool needs improvement in license compliance. I would like to see the integration of better policy management in the product's future release. When it comes to the organization that I work for, there are a lot of business units since we are a group of companies. Each of these companies has its specific requirements and its own appetite for risk. This should be able to reflect in flexible policies. We need to be able to configure policies that can be adjusted later or overridden by the business unit that is using the product."
"All such tools should definitely improve the signatures in their database. Snyk is pretty new to the industry. They have a pretty good knowledge base, but Veracode is on top because Veracode has been in this business for a pretty long time. They do have a pretty large database of all the findings, and the way that the correlation engine works is superb. Snyk is also pretty good, but it is not as good as Veracode in terms of maintaining a large space of all the historical data of vulnerabilities."
"There are some new features that we would like to see added, e.g., more visibility into library usage for the code. Something along the lines where it's doing the identification of where vulnerabilities are used, etc. This would cause them to stand out in the market as a much different platform."
"One area where Snyk could improve is in providing developers with the line where the error occurs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is expensive compared to other solutions."
"We are using the open-source version for the scans."
"Compared to Veracode, Snyk is definitely a cheaper tool."
"The solution is less expensive than Black Duck."
"The product's price is okay."
"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."
"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."
"Cost-wise, it's similar to Veracode, but I don't know the exact cost."
