Room For Improvement

Check Point CloudGuard Code Security requires better documentation, integration, and cost transparency, with noted weaknesses in security features and user training.
Snyk requires improved language support, IDE integration, UI, accuracy, reporting, automation, documentation, API access, and AI-driven vulnerability detection.
All the features we have on the firewall on the on-premises side, we also have under CloudGuard such as IPS, Anti-Bot, and all these blades are set up in our CloudGuard.
It lacks the ability to select branches on its Web UI, forcing users to rely on CLI or CI/CD for that functionality.

Affordable tool boosts code scanning efficiency but faces integration hurdles
The most important feature of Snyk is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions such as Check Point. It is easy to consolidate Snyk across multiple entities within a large organization. Additionally, our integration of Snyk into GitHub allows us to automatically scan codebases and identify issues, which has improved efficiency.
