Catchpoint enhances ROI through real-time monitoring, reducing outages and team size, improving resolution speed, and offering constant support.
Sentiment score
6.2
Snyk enhances efficiency and security, reducing vulnerabilities and costs, improving productivity, and offering immediate value to developers.
We used to spend at least 30 to 40 minutes on average on a call to detect what the problem was, but that reduced drastically to around 16 to 18 minutes.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
I believe we see a good return on investment with Catchpoint because you only need one or two people to monitor, so you do not need a larger team.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
I have seen a return on investment, and I think it saves everything in terms of money and time, as we are using it on a day-to-day basis.

Snyk users seek enhanced language support, plugin integration, vulnerability visibility, and improvements in UI, reporting, and training features.
If we could receive similar data for the China market as we do for North America and Asia Pacific, this would be helpful.
Technical Consultant Project Lead at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
There is no auto-tuning for alerts, so auto-tuning features for alerts would be beneficial.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Catchpoint provides the best solution, but comparatively, if I compare it with Uptrends, New Relic, DataDog, and ThousandEyes, Catchpoint does multiple things, but it comes with a cost.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
It lacks the ability to select branches on its Web UI, forcing users to rely on CLI or CI/CD for that functionality.
CEO at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
The inclusion of AI to remove false positives would be beneficial.

Setup Cost

Catchpoint's pricing is cost-effective for larger enterprises, varies by consumption, and is transparent but may be high for small businesses.
Snyk provides valuable, flexible pricing and robust features for enterprises, often considered affordable compared to Veracode and Black Duck.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the pricing is good, and the licensing is also good.
Product Specialist at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
you just need to buy the licenses, and the team sends you the license keys, which is pretty easy.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
I think the cost increased because we were so dependent on Catchpoint for monitoring most of our applications.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Snyk is recognized as the cheapest option we have evaluated.
CEO at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
After negotiations, we received a special package with a good price point.

Valuable Features

Catchpoint enhances performance with monitoring tools, offering cost savings, detailed insights, and improved user engagement and experience.
Snyk enhances security with AI-powered vulnerability scanning, seamless integration, and efficient management across various tools and programming languages.
Catchpoint helps us detect issues before anybody could report them, which can impact clients because it provides prior monitoring that also sees outside the infrastructure.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Out of those features, the hop-by-hop breakdown of BGP peers is the one that made the biggest difference in my work because I have not seen this feature in others.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
The alerting functionality in Catchpoint provides value. We configure thresholds for response times and failures so that our operations team could be notified whenever authentication failed, APIs became unavailable, or page performance degraded beyond acceptable limits.
Senior Software Engineer at Turing
Our integration of Snyk into GitHub allows us to automatically scan codebases and identify issues, which has improved efficiency.
CEO at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees

Chethan Premsingh - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
Proactive monitoring has reduced downtime and now identifies traffic issues before customers notice
I think Catchpoint can be improved because it is competitively a little costlier. I understand that Catchpoint provides the best solution, but comparatively, if I compare it with Uptrends, New Relic, DataDog, and ThousandEyes, Catchpoint does multiple things, but it comes with a cost. That is one of the areas you can leverage use cases based on customer requirements and come up with a better pricing model. The existing ones are good, but for our use case from Zoom, we were just looking for our endpoints to be monitored every minute, and that cost us a lot compared to the existing tool that we were using. That area is something to look for improvement.

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.
