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 allows for scaling across large organizations, accommodating tens of thousands of applications and over 60,000 repositories, making it suitable for wide-scale deployment."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Snyk is the SBOM."
"We're loving some of the Kubernetes integration as well. That's really quite cool. It's still in the early days of our use of it, but it looks really exciting. In the Kubernetes world, it's very good at reporting on the areas around the configuration of your platform, rather than the things that you've pulled in. There's some good advice there that allows you to prioritize whether something is important or just worrying. That's very helpful."
"From the software composition analysis perspective, it first makes sure that we understand what is happening from a third-party perspective for the particular product that we use. This is very difficult when you are building software and incorporating dependencies from other libraries, because those dependencies have dependencies and that chain of dependencies can go pretty deep. There could be a vulnerability in something that is seven layers deep, and it would be very difficult to understand that is even affecting us. Therefore, Snyk provides fantastic visibility to know, "Yes, we have a problem. Here is where it ultimately comes from." It may not be with what we're incorporating, but something much deeper than that."
"I am impressed with the product's security vulnerability detection. My peers in security are praising the tool for its accuracy to detect security vulnerabilities. The product is very easy to onboard. It doesn't require a lot of preparation or prerequisites. It's a bit of a plug-and-play as long as you're using a package manager or for example, you are using a GitHub repository. And that is an advantage for this tool because developers don't want to add more tools to what they're currently using."
"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."
"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."
"Since using Xygeni, the time to review vulnerabilities has decreased."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"I think Snyk should add more of a vulnerability protection feature in the tool since it is an area where it lacks."
"The product is very expensive."
"The reporting mechanism of Snyk could improve. The reporting mechanism is available only on the higher level of license."
"It would be great if they can include dynamic, interactive, and run-time scanning features."
"Scalability has some issues because we have a lot of code and its use is mandatory. Therefore, it can be slow at times, especially because there are a lot of projects and reporting. Some UI improvements could help with this."
"Regarding needed improvements, I have thoughts mostly on the pricing side, but the tool offers features that justify its cost."
"It would be helpful if we get a recommendation while doing the scan about the necessary things we need to implement after identifying the vulnerabilities."
"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."
"There should be more configuration options that make it easier to target the issues that are more important in your organization's context."
"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

"Pricing-wise, it is not expensive as compared to other tools. If you have a couple of licenses, you can scan a certain number of projects. It just needs to be attached to them."
"We are using the open-source version for the scans."
"Snyk is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is acceptable, especially for enterprises. I don't think it's too much of a concern for our customers. Something like $99 per user is reasonable when the stakes are high."
"The price of the solution is expensive compared to other solutions."
"We do have some missing licenses issues, especially with non-SPDX compliant one, but we expect this to be fixed soon"
"For what Snyk offers, it has the best cost-benefit I have ever seen because you're buying the license per user."
"With Snyk, you get what you pay for. It is not a cheap solution, but you get a comprehensiveness and level of coverage that is very good. The dollars in the security budget only go so far. If I can maximize my value and be able to have some funds left over for other initiatives, I want to do that. That is what drives me to continue to say, "What's out there in the market? Snyk's expensive, but it's good. Is there something as good, but more affordable?" Ultimately, I find we could go cheaper, but we would lose the completeness of vision or scope. I am not willing to do that because Snyk does provide a pretty important benefit for us."
