For how long have I used the solution?

I have experience with Snyk, and it is a new solution chosen by my company. I am a reseller of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

One security engineer uses Snyk in our company, but we don't use the tool for our own use cases, and we only deploy it for our customers.

How are customer service and support?

I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Our company previously used Micro Focus for three or four months. We have worked with Checkmark for more than two or three years.

We provide Snyk to our customers. It is a very strong solution.

How was the initial setup?

I rate the initial setup a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

The solution is deployed on the cloud since it is a SaaS solution and doesn't have an on-premises version.

The deployment process for Snyk takes like a week.

For the steps in Snyk's deployment, one has to buy a license and click on the deploy icon on Snyk's website, after which it syncs up with the system.

One person is required for deployment. Even if we talk about something like container security or DAST, only one person would be required for the deployment process.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

What other advice do I have?

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it since it is easy to deploy and has strong features like machine learning and the ability to analyze static codes.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Provides clear information with good feedback regarding code practices and fixing security issues
Pros and Cons
  • "Provides clear information and is easy to follow with good feedback regarding code practices."
  • "The feature for automatic fixing of security breaches could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We use this product for security analysis. It enables us to analyze the development code and find the security vulnerabilities and best practices. We have around 20 developers testing this solution. I'm the senior DevOps and we are users of Snyk.

What is most valuable?

The solution is very easy to install. It provides clear information and is easy to follow. We get good feedback regarding code practices and how to fix security issues. Another benefit is that it has worked with containers for a long time and has a partnership with Docker. They have a lot of experience and good expertise in security.

What needs improvement?

I think they could improve the feature for automatic fixing of security breaches. If they had a Kubernetes coverage of vulnerabilities that would be helpful.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for two months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good. They are very helpful and also offered us a demo.  

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is not complicated, it's just configuring the connection, and connecting to the server.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We're using the open source version for now.

What other advice do I have?

I think it's worthwhile to try this product and I rate it nine out of 10.
