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."
"Our customers find container scans most valuable. They are always talking about it."
"Snyk performs software composition analysis (SCA) similar to other expensive tools."
"The most effective feature in securing project dependencies stems from its ability to highlight security vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable features of Snyk are vulnerability scanning and automation. The automation the solution brings around vulnerability scanning is useful."
"The valuable aspect is its security capabilities."
"Snyk is a good and scalable tool."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
"I think Snyk should add more of a vulnerability protection feature in the tool since it is an area where it lacks."
"The log export function could be easier when shipping logs to other platforms such as Splunk."
"We have to integrate with their database, which means we need to send our entire code to them to scan, and they send us the report. A company working in the financial domain usually won't like to share its code or any information outside its network with any third-party provider."
"Generating reports and visibility through reports are definitely things they can do better."
"The product is very expensive."
"A feature we would like to see is the ability to archive and store historical data, without actually deleting it. It's a problem because it throws my numbers off. When I'm looking at the dashboard's current vulnerabilities, it's not accurate."
"It would be great if they can include dynamic, interactive, and run-time scanning features. Checkmarx and Veracode provide dynamic, interactive, and run-time scanning, but Snyk doesn't do that. That's the reason there is more inclination towards Veracode, Checkmarx, or AppScan. These are a few tools available in the market that do all four types of scanning: static, dynamic, interactive, and run-time."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I didn't think the price was that great, but it wasn't that bad, either. I'd rate their pricing as average in the market."
"The pricing is acceptable, especially for enterprises. I don't think it's too much of a concern for our customers. Something like $99 per user is reasonable when the stakes are high."
"Despite Snyk's coverage, scalability, reliability, and stability, it is available at a very competitive price."
"Presently, my company uses an open-source version of the solution. The solution's pricing can be considered quite reasonable owing to the features they offer."
"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."
"Snyk is an expensive 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."
"You can get a good deal with Snyk for pricing. It's a little expensive, but it is worth it."
