Sentiment score
7.3
Snyk is scalable, integrating easily for large user bases, supporting enterprise needs, and praised for adaptability and integration.
With on-premise deployment, scalability requires architectural considerations such as adding more servers, separating databases from web servers, adding load balancers, and setting up MongoDB clusters.

Room For Improvement

FileCloud should simplify setup, improve documentation, modernize the interface, enhance features, and strengthen integrations for better user experience.
Snyk users seek enhanced language support, plugin integration, vulnerability visibility, and improvements in UI, reporting, and training features.
Core functionality is strong, but when something breaks, especially in sync edge cases or client behavior, the root cause analysis can take longer than ideal.
Senior Software Developer at Plutomen Technology
FileCloud could be improved by providing easier access to set up drive mount on a Mac without requiring other applications to make it function equivalently to Fuse.
Program Specialist at AXA
Customer support should always be responsive and proactive twenty-four seven.

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.
Director at Marsh
As we are moving toward GenAI, we expect Snyk to leverage AI features to improve code scanning findings.

Secure file sharing has reduced licensing costs but still needs a more intuitive interface
One improvement FileCloud could benefit from is modernizing the UI and user experience. While it is highly functional, its interface feels enterprise-focused. A sleek, minimal design that is more intuitive would reduce the learning curve for complex employees and streamline the settings and menus to make the administrator's life easier. Additionally, I would appreciate having native real-time collaboration. Although integrations with Microsoft Office or other software as a service offerings exist, they are not as seamless as a native experience. If FileCloud built its own native collaborative editor or made an agreement with Microsoft, it would eliminate the slight lag that users feel when opening documents. I also think it could improve by reducing the complexity of the initial setup in an on-premise environment.

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.
