Affordable tool boosts code scanning efficiency but faces integration hurdles
The most important feature of Snyk is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions such as Check Point. It is easy to consolidate Snyk across multiple entities within a large organization. Additionally, our integration of Snyk into GitHub allows us to automatically scan codebases and identify issues, which has improved efficiency.
Nadeem Syed - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers sandboxing unit and virtual patch management, stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits
It's a good product. It's taken the majority of the market share in Pakistan from any other product; the major feature of Deep Security is its virtual patching management, which they download on the cloud. They stop all the vulnerabilities and exploits as long as you don't download all the updates and install them physically on the servers. So, in that sense, it is a very good product. And we've been selling it for a long time; it's been four to five years. And we have a lot of customers for it. Trend Micro Deep Security has a sandboxing unit, which is one of the major features that actually gives you a chance to detect any kind of threat in your network or on your servers. Also, if users truly want to secure their network and the servers, they may want to use XDR as well, which has all these features we just discussed.
