Easily integrated for scanning and analysis
Pros and Cons
  • "There are many valuable features. For example, the way the scanning feature works. The integration is cool because I can integrate it and I don't need to wait until the CACD, I can plug it in to our local ID, and there I can do the scanning. That is the part I like best."
  • "Basically the licensing costs are a little bit expensive."

What is our primary use case?

Snyk is a code analysis tool. It is a vulnerability finding tool. We use it for those purposes. We use this tool to detect issues particular to users.

Snyk is configured on our local ID environment. So our team and many other teams use it to do a scan before they deploy anything in the production.

What is most valuable?

There are many valuable features. For example, the way the scanning feature works. The integration is cool because I can integrate it and I don't need to wait until the CACD, I can plug it in to our local ID, and there I can do the scanning. That is the part I like best.

What needs improvement?

Feature wise, I like it so far. Maybe a little bit early to call, but feature wise, I'm okay with it. It may be a little bit expensive, but otherwise, it is a good tool.

I don't have any complaints. Thankfully, I had help in the decision-making and the initial integration. After that, the actual development and ops teams are using it. So if they are facing issues or they have any concerns, I'm not sure about that.

Basically the licensing costs are a little bit expensive.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Snyk for a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In our organization I would say more than 50 and less than a hundred are regularly using Snyk.

How are customer service and support?

Tech support is good. They are reliable and available. Some of the teams are using Snyk and they are not complaining about support. The support is better and they are available whenever we need. We can reach out to them for help.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was neither complex nor easy, I would say it was okay.

It took a few weeks.

What about the implementation team?

A few people helped us with the initial setup.

Our experience with them was that they're really good.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Snyk is a security analysis tool. We have other tools, some dynamic security analytics tools, and other tools set up, and we wanted to compare which one we should use. We have Contrast, Coverity, and Snyk, and now we are planning to keep one. That was the main reason I had downloaded the code from your site and from many other sites. In the end we are planning to keep Snyk.

What other advice do I have?

Snyk is good. I like to use it. I like to use Snyk over Contrast.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Snyk an eight.

There is no complaint here. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

What is most valuable?

The product's most valuable features are an open-source platform, remote functionality, and good pricing.
