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.

Unified monitoring has reduced alert noise and provides accurate, proactive application security
Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made. More customization options for dashboards and reports would help teams tailor the platform to their specific metrics and workflows. I also occasionally encounter DevOps tools that are not yet supported natively. Expanded coverage for niche or emerging tools would make onboarding even smoother. These points, however, are minor compared to the overall value the platform delivers, especially given the strength of its AI-driven detection, remediation, and supply chain protection capabilities. It would also be an improvement for licensing with regard to on-premise variants. Perhaps we could have an on-premise option for standard subscription.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Snyk is a developer-friendly product."
"The most valuable features of Snyk are vulnerability scanning and automation. The automation the solution brings around vulnerability scanning is useful."
"It is one of the best product out there to help developers find and fix vulnerabilities quickly."
"The advantage of Snyk is that Snyk automatically creates a pull request for all the findings that match or are classified according to the policy that we create. So, once we review the PR within Snyk and we approve the PR, Snyk auto-fixes the issue, which is quite interesting and which isn't there in any other product out there. So, Snyk is a step ahead in this particular area."
"Snyk's ability to scan all of those every time we build, and keep a running status of them and recheck them daily, is extremely valuable for making us aware of what's going on."
"Snyk has allowed our developers to spend less time securing applications, increasing their productivity."
"Across the initiative, that translated into thousands of developer hours saved and the equivalent of one to three full-time developers of effort reallocated to feature work instead of bug or patchwork."
"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."
"I would like to highlight Xygeni's Core AI function, which makes it easier to understand security information for both technical leaders as well as for those who are higher up in business management, helping make smarter, faster decisions and offering more secure developments in less time."
"The visibility of our open-source supply chain dependencies and real-time detection of vulnerabilities have been invaluable."
"Xygeni provides a comprehensive and developer-friendly approach to securing the entire software supply chain."
"The best Xygeni feature is the ability to filter what is truly important, which really helps me focus on the key vulnerabilities in the software that I am building."
"Since using Xygeni, the time to review vulnerabilities has decreased."
 

Cons

"They were a couple of issues which happened because Snyk lacked some documentation on the integration side. Snyk is lacking a lot of documentation, and I would like to see them improve this. This is where we struggle a bit. For example, if something breaks, we can't figure out how to fix that issue. It may be a very simple thing, but because we don't have the proper documentation around an issue, it takes us a bit longer."
"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."
"The product could be improved by including other types of security scanning (e.g. SAST or DAST), which is important."
"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."
"The tool needs improvement in license compliance. I would like to see the integration of better policy management in the product's future release. When it comes to the organization that I work for, there are a lot of business units since we are a group of companies. Each of these companies has its specific requirements and its own appetite for risk. This should be able to reflect in flexible policies. We need to be able to configure policies that can be adjusted later or overridden by the business unit that is using the product."
"One area where Snyk could improve is in providing developers with the line where the error occurs."
"Compatibility with other products would be great."
"There should be more configuration options that make it easier to target the issues that are more important in your organization's context."
"I think Xygeni could be improved by having more information in the form of videos in Spanish and more use cases to share it with more prospects."
"Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made."
"Xygeni could be improved if on-premise options were available starting from the starter packages, not only the enterprise models."
"Xygeni can be more automated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is good. Snyk had a good price compared to the competition, who had higher pricing than them. Also, their licensing and billing are clear."
"Snyk is an expensive solution."
"For what Snyk offers, it has the best cost-benefit I have ever seen because you're buying the license per user."
"It's inexpensive and easy to license. It comes in standard package sizing, which is straightforward. This information is publicly found on their website."
"I would rate the pricing of Snyk at two. I'm currently using the free version, which the company offers before buying the full version. So, the price is affordable, especially for an enterprise."
"You can get a good deal with Snyk for pricing. It's a little expensive, but it is worth it."
"Despite Snyk's coverage, scalability, reliability, and stability, it is available at a very competitive price."
"Compared to Veracode, Snyk is definitely a cheaper tool."
