Room For Improvement

CloudBolt needs improvements in container support, user interface, integration, billing, scheduling, SaaS management, and on-prem/cloud integration.
Snyk users seek reduced false positives, improved integration, more languages, enhanced AI, better UI, and faster API responses.
The inclusion of AI to remove false positives would be beneficial.
One key feature we are currently examining with Veracode is AIVSS (Artificial Intelligence VSS), which is an extension of CVSS to cover use cases or top 10 LLM findings during code scanning.
It lacks the ability to select branches on its Web UI, forcing users to rely on CLI or CI/CD for that functionality.
 

Setup Cost

CloudBolt offers flexible pricing with discounts, allowing cost-effective management based on deployment size, though fees vary by location.
Snyk offers scalable, user-based pricing seen as expensive but valuable, with negotiable packages for enterprise cloud deployments.
Snyk is recognized as the cheapest option we have evaluated.
After negotiations, we received a special package with a good price point.
 

Valuable Features

CloudBolt excels in ease of use, flexibility, and expandability, offering extensive automation, customization, and cloud management features.
Snyk offers comprehensive security with seamless integration, automation, and developer-friendly tools, enhancing risk management and usability.
Snyk helps detect vulnerabilities before code moves to production, allowing for integration with DevOps and providing a shift-left advantage by identifying and fixing bugs before deployment.
Our integration of Snyk into GitHub allows us to automatically scan codebases and identify issues, which has improved efficiency.
The best feature of Snyk is the integration with our ticketing system, which is Jira.

AdeolaEkunola - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution offers reliable resource control but needs to improve its UI
Cloudbox is just an abstraction software. There is no need for scalability. It's quite a simple solution. You might only need to increase the resources you apply to the CloudBold deployment. If, for example, the number of users increases, you might have to check the recommendations from CloudBolt and act accordingly. We have over 100 internal users. Regarding the infrastructure it sits on, the solution sits on the private of the on-prem, a VMware infrastructure that stands across two sites, the DR and the main production. We have over 60 ESXi of Asterisk and about 500 or 1,000 virtual machines.

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.
