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 should enhance integration, expand language support, improve documentation, and refine features for better efficiency and usability.
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.
Both Veracode and Snyk should implement this new scoring system for CVSS and AIVSS.
The inclusion of AI to remove false positives would be beneficial.
