Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 9, 2025

Snyk and AWS Security Hub both offer security solutions focusing on system vulnerabilities and AWS environment integration, respectively. Snyk may have the advantage due to its developer-centric approach and expansive integrations, while AWS Security Hub shines in AWS-native environments.

Features: Snyk is known for its self-service setup, seamless integrations with source controls, and a highly accurate vulnerability database. It enables vulnerability alerts via Slack and offers container security features. AWS Security Hub provides native integration with AWS services and compliance checks, simplifying management within AWS ecosystems but falls short in third-party integrations.

Room for Improvement: Snyk could benefit from added SAST/DAST capabilities and refined notification filtering. It also needs better language support and more intuitive IDE plugins. AWS Security Hub would improve with enhanced multi-cloud support, more sophisticated dashboards, and real-time scanning capabilities. Expanding its compliance framework beyond basic standards is necessary for better threat detection.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Snyk supports both cloud and on-premises deployments, offering responsive customer service teams, though some desire faster response times. AWS Security Hub focuses on cloud deployments, primarily within AWS environments, with effective technical support but an interface that lacks user-friendliness. Both are praised for deployment options and support, though user experiences differ slightly.

Pricing and ROI: Snyk's developer-centric licensing model, while expensive, offers significant value, especially for large teams. Its competitive pricing is well matched by its features. AWS Security Hub provides a cost-effective pricing model considered affordable by users, making it an attractive option for scaling within AWS environments. Both offer commendable ROI, with Snyk reducing problem-solving time and AWS Security Hub seamlessly integrating within AWS.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are the scanning of all the cloud environments and most of the compliances available in the cloud."

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

"Within AWS Security Hub, there is a feature for aggregating and prioritizing security findings which allows for better risk prioritization based on misconfiguration, as they know AWS thoroughly."

"The most beneficial aspect of Security Hub is its proactive capability, allowing us to identify potential security issues before they escalate."

"Cloudposse is a valuable feature as it guarantees my security."

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

"The solution shows us our compliance score."

"Currently, our organization utilizes AWS for various purposes, including SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and hosting applications in the cloud. We develop our applications and use AWS services as a platform for basic functions and secondary development needs. Additionally, we rely on PaaS for accounting services. Approximately, 50% of our applications are hosted in the cloud environment, making it a significant part of our current setup."

More AWS Security Hub pros

"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."

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

"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."

"Snyk is a developer-friendly product."

"The valuable aspect is its security capabilities."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is that they add a lot of their own information to the vulnerabilities. They describe vulnerabilities and suggest their own mitigations or version upgrades. The information was the winning factor when we compared Snyk to others. This is what gave it more impact."

"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."

More Snyk pros

Cons

"Whenever my team gets some alarms from the central team, my team needs to initiate whether it's a real or false trigger. The central team needs to keep adjusting to the parameters or at least the concerned IPs, whether it's really from the company's pool of IPs, so the trigger process can be improved. In the next release of AWS Security Hub, I'd like a better dashboard that could result in better alert visibility."

"Although AWS Security Hub does a periodic scan of your overall infrastructure, it doesn't do it in real time."

"One aspect that could be improved in the solution is its adaptability to different markets and geopolitical restrictions. In certain regions like Thailand, specific services from certain countries or providers, such as AWS or Azure, might be limited or blocked. It also needs improvement in would require configuring the solution more adaptable to AWS infrastructure and function."

"AWS Security Hub cannot scale up to multiple different cloud environments; it only works for AWS."

"The solution should be easier to learn and use"

"It is not flexible for multi-cloud environments."

"It's not user-friendly. Too much going on, too many unnecessary findings, not very visual. You can't do much compared to other similar tools that are cheaper and better."

"Security Hub is currently not worth investing in, as it requires more configurations and integration with other services to work effectively."

More AWS Security Hub cons

"Offering API access in the lower or free open-source tiers would be better. That would help our customers. If you don't have an enterprise plan, it becomes challenging to integrate with the rest of the systems. Our customers would like to have some open-source integrations in the next release."

"One area where Snyk could improve is in providing developers with the line where the error occurs."

"It lists projects. So, if you have a number of microservices in an enterprise, then you could have pages of findings. Developers will then spend zero time going through the pages of reports to figure out, "Is there something I need to fix?" While it may make sense to list all the projects and issues in these very long lists for completeness, Snyk could do a better job of bubbling up and grouping items, e.g., a higher level dashboard that draws attention to things that are new, the highest priority things, or things trending in the wrong direction. That would make it a lot easier. They don't quite have that yet in container security."

"Because Snyk has so many integrations and so many things it can do, it's hard to really understand all of them and to get that information to each team that needs it... If there were more self-service, perhaps tutorials or overviews for new teams or developers, so that they could click through and see things themselves, that would help."

"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."

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

"The tool should provide more flexibility and guidance to help us fix the top vulnerabilities before we go into production."

"The way Snyk notifies if we have an issue, there are a few options: High vulnerability or medium vulnerability. The problem with that is high vulnerabilities are too broad, because there are too many. If you enable notifications, you get a lot of notifications, When you get many notifications, they become irrelevant because they're not specific. I would prefer to have control over the notifications and somehow decide if I want to get only exploitable vulnerabilities or get a specific score for a vulnerability. Right now, we receive too many high vulnerabilities. If we enable notifications, then we just get a lot of spam message. Therefore, we would like some type of filtering system to be built-in for the system to be more precise."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"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."

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

"Security Hub is not an expensive solution."

"Presently, my company uses an open-source version of the solution. The solution's pricing can be considered quite reasonable owing to the features they offer."

"It's inexpensive and easy to license. It comes in standard package sizing, which is straightforward. This information is publicly found on their website."

"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."

"Despite Snyk's coverage, scalability, reliability, and stability, it is available at a very competitive price."

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

"The license model is based on the number of contributing developers. Snyk is expensive, for a startup company will most likely use the community edition, while larger companies will buy the licensed version. The price of Snyk is more than other SLA tools."

"For what Snyk offers, it has the best cost-benefit I have ever seen because you're buying the license per user."

"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."
