Architect at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
We've improved our data management & human resource skills. Needs to work more on its presentation layer for users.
Follow the suggested implementation approach and it will be a smooth sailing. The core issue in any business analytics and business intelligence solutions is always data quality, deployment architecture and skilled human resource. Ensure that you have deliberated on these in detail and there will be no issues or hiccups during implementation

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have been able to improve our data management, human resource skills and productivity, management reporting, and subsequently data mining for other business operations."
"The most valuable features of Snyk are vulnerability scanning and automation. The automation the solution brings around vulnerability scanning is useful."
"I find SCA to be valuable. It can read your libraries, your license and bring the best way to resolve your problem in the best scenario."
"The most prominent reason why everybody goes with Snyk as a starting point is because they have an open source offering, and as such, it is a developer-friendly solution that our developers really like, deliberately made to be developer-friendly from the start with lots of integrations that fit with other tools."
"It is one of the best product out there to help developers find and fix vulnerabilities quickly. When we talk about the third-party software vulnerability piece and potentially security issues, it takes the load off the user or developer. They even provide automitigation strategies and an auto-fix feature, which seem to have been adopted pretty well."
"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."
"Snyk has given us really good results because it is fully automated. We don't have to scan projects every time to find vulnerabilities, as it already stores the dependencies that we are using. It monitors 24/7 to find out if there are any issues that have been reported out on the Internet."
"Its reports are nice and provide information about the issue as well as resolution. They also provide a proper fix. If there's an issue, they provide information in detail about how to remediate that issue."
"From a compliance and visibility reporting perspective, the fact that it can be applicable for multi-cloud environments is very helpful."
 

Cons

"Customer Service: That is the only area where SAS needs to look into. It was just satisfactory."
"The product is very expensive."
"I think they could improve the feature for automatic fixing of security breaches."
"Snyk's API and UI features could work better in terms of speed."
"DAST has shortcomings, and Snyk needs to improve and overcome such shortcomings."
"We had some issues integrating into our pipeline, however, they were resolved."
"The product could be improved by including other types of security scanning (e.g. SAST or DAST), which is important."
"It can be improved from the reporting perspective and scanning perspective. They can also improve it on the UI front."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"You can get a good deal with Snyk for pricing. It's a little expensive, but it is worth it."
"It's inexpensive and easy to license. It comes in standard package sizing, which is straightforward. This information is publicly found on their website."
"The price of the solution is expensive compared to other solutions."
"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 solution is less expensive than Black Duck."
"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."
"We do have some missing licenses issues, especially with non-SPDX compliant one, but we expect this to be fixed soon"
"Compared to Veracode, Snyk is definitely a cheaper tool."
