Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 11, 2026

Snyk and AWS Security Hub are both top contenders in the security solutions category, each offering distinct advantages. Snyk appears to outperform in integration capabilities and ease of use, making it particularly appealing to developers. In contrast, AWS Security Hub provides a comprehensive scope of services, especially suited for AWS-centric environments.

Features: Snyk offers straightforward integration with tools such as IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, and notifications through Slack, making it cost-effective for developers focused on cloud security and source control integration. Snyk’s container security features help developers maintain application security. AWS Security Hub, however, excels in comprehensive alerts and monitoring capabilities with its seamless integrations across AWS native services, and third-party tools, benefiting organizations already invested in AWS infrastructure.

Room for Improvement: Snyk could enhance its offerings by including additional security scanning types like SAST and DAST, and by providing more granular controls over notifications and reports. AWS Security Hub, on the other hand, could improve its dashboard sophistication and extend integrations with non-AWS or open-source solutions to broaden its appeal.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Snyk is known for its easy deployment and offers robust support with dedicated customer success managers, making it convenient for quick integration. AWS Security Hub, specific to AWS environments, lacks multi-cloud flexibility but ensures competent customer support, accommodating users focused on AWS environments.

Pricing and ROI: Snyk, viewed as a premium solution, is priced based on usage and the number of developers, which can seem costly to some but offers significant ROI by reducing developer hours. AWS Security Hub follows a pay-as-you-go model that is beneficial for existing AWS customers, providing a cost-effective option for those already leveraging AWS infrastructure.

Has helped identify misconfigurations and prioritize risks but lacks multi-cloud support and deeper integration features

AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS. There are other products in the market for CSPM that can give you multi-cloud environment misconfigurations, even Microsoft for that matter. Regarding the integration of AWS Security Hub with third-party tools, I am not certain whether we can integrate them, but there is no need to do so. However, AWS Security Hub cannot integrate with other cloud providers, so it only supports the AWS environment. The compliance checks within AWS Security Hub are good, but we don't use them much. We utilize compliance frameworks such as CIS compliance frameworks and ISO 27017 framework, which are beneficial, but it can improve in other areas too, such as including NIST and other frameworks beyond just ISO and CIS. Improvements can be applicable for scalability, particularly on integration with multi-cloud environments, and compliance frameworks can be added for more variety as well. The unified dashboard in AWS Security Hub is adequate; I cannot say it is exceptional, but the content available in the dashboards is satisfactory for now.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most effective features of AWS Security Hub is the easy access to a dashboard with a ready-to-use security score."

"AWS Security Hub brings many features into one table that is quite useful, and the app team finds it easier to see what is missing."

"The platform has valuable features for security."

"It's a security posture management tool from AWS. Basically, it identifies misconfigurations, similar to Trusted Advisor but on a larger scale."

"The advantage is that it is cloud-native, and we do not need to install agents or sensors to find findings."

"Finding out if your infrastructure is secure is a valuable feature."

"Easily integrates with third-party tools"

"The best feature of AWS Security Hub is that you can get compliance or your cloud's current security posture."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"Static code analysis is one of the best features of the solution."

"The most valuable features include enriched information around the vulnerabilities for better triaging, in terms of the vulnerability layer origin and vulnerability tree."

"Provides clear information and is easy to follow with good feedback regarding code practices."

"We use Snyk to check vulnerabilities and rectify potential leaks in GitHub."

"The most valuable features are their GitLab and JIRA integrations. The GitLab integration lets us pull projects in pretty easily, so that it's pretty minimal for developers to get it set up. Using the JIRA integration, it's also pretty easy to get the information that is generated, as a result of that GitLab integration, back to our teams in a non-intrusive way and in a workflow that we are already using."

"The solution's vulnerability database, in terms of comprehensiveness and accuracy, is very high-level. As far as I know, it's the best among their competitors."

"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."

"It is easy for developers to use. The documentation is clear as well as the APIs are good and easily readable. It's a good solution overall."

More Snyk pros

Cons

"We need more granular-level customizations to enable or disable the rules in AWS Security Hub."

"I would like a more fine-grained capability for creating custom rules and a more user-friendly experience programmatically in writing queries and configuring custom security rules, making it quicker and easier."

"The user interface, graphs, and dashboards of the solution could improve in the future. They are not very sophisticated and could use an update."

"The solution will only give you insight if you have configure rule enabled. It should work more like Prisma Cloud and Dome9 which have a better approach."

"The solution should be easier to learn and use"

"Adding SIEM features would be beneficial because of the limited customization of AWS Security Hub."

"Shortening the response time for support tickets, particularly in production issues, could make the service more efficient."

"Security needs to be measured based on their own criteria. We can't add custom criteria specific to our organization. For example, having an S3 bucket publicly available might be flagged as a critical alert, but it might not be critical in a sandbox environment. So, it gets flagged as critical, which becomes a false positive. So, customization options and creating custom dashboards would be areas for improvement."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"There is always more work to do around managing the volume of information when you've got thousands of vulnerabilities. Trying to get those down to zero is virtually impossible, either through ignoring them all or through fixing them. That filtering or information management is always going to be something that can be improved."

"We had some issues integrating into our pipeline, however, they were resolved."

"Snyk's API and UI features could work better in terms of speed."

"There are some new features that we would like to see added, e.g., more visibility into library usage for the code. Something along the lines where it's doing the identification of where vulnerabilities are used, etc. This would cause them to stand out in the market as a much different platform."

"I use Snyk alongside Sonar, and Snyk tends to generate a lot of false positives. Improving the overall report quality and reducing false positives would be beneficial. I don't need additional features; just improving the existing ones would be enough."

"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."

"Although Snyk is strong, sometimes it flags vulnerabilities that are not reachable, not exploitable, and not relevant to a project."

"The solution's integration with JFrog Artifactory could be improved."

More Snyk cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fine. It is not an expensive tool."

"AWS Security Hub's pricing is pretty reasonable."

"There are multiple subscription models, like yearly, monthly, and packaged."

"The price of AWS Security Hub is average compared to other solutions."

"The cost is based on the number of compliances, core checks, and services required, and for more than 10,000 recommendations, the charge is just one dollar."

"The price of the solution is not very competitive but it is reasonable."

"AWS Security Hub is not an expensive tool. I would consider it to be a cheap solution. AWS Security Hub follows the PAYG pricing model, meaning you will have to pay for whatever you use."

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"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."

"It is pretty expensive. It is not a cheap product."

"We are using the open-source version for the scans."

"Their licensing model is fairly robust and scalable for our needs. I believe we have reached a reasonable agreement on the licensing to enable hundreds of developers to participate in this product offering. The solution is very tailored towards developers and its licensing model works well for us."

"We do have some missing licenses issues, especially with non-SPDX compliant one, but we expect this to be fixed soon"

"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."

"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."

"Cost-wise, it's similar to Veracode, but I don't know the exact cost."

Cybereason vs. Interset vs. SQRRL

Capture DB - they all use NoSQL db and hence solve the ad hoc query and 'go back in time' problem with current best of breed SIEM and DLP solutions that rely on real time analysis of incoming logs (and don't store them). This means deeper and quicker iterative threat analysis and assessment…
