Secure collaboration has transformed remote work and now protects sensitive data across devices

Recently, I implemented FileCloud to host our data externally using HTTPS instead of placing our data on a third-party cloud solution or using VPN technologies. It's being used by our entire department to access the data on our file server of our organization. With a lot of our staff members working remotely and on the move, this solution helps our staff members access their data on our secured central servers without having to use VPN technologies. I love it because we can access our internal file server data from anywhere on the planet as long as we're connected to an internet connection. I also love it because we are able to use the mobile application, which is a very robust and intuitive application. Some of the best features that FileCloud offers include an intuitive mobile application. The user interface is very easy to customize and user-friendly. File synchronization, storage, and archiving are very easy. Document management is great. Content search and retrieval are great. Enterprise content collaboration is on point, together with the security and risk management and information governance. FileCloud stands out especially because it provides secure data storage and real-time synchronization capabilities. We can easily synchronize files across devices, manage document versions, and access files on the go through the mobile app. I also love it because it provides enterprise-grade security features such as two-factor authentication and other features which ensure the security of our data and files is top-notch. FileCloud has positively impacted our organization as this tool has been very easy to use. Therefore, regarding any technical survey, personnel can use it. It has a very intuitive and user-friendly interface, which makes the learning curve very smooth. It also provides enterprise-grade security features like two-factor authentication, which ensures our data security and file data has really improved from fifty to seventy-five percent. We've been able to collaborate on files, especially because of the secure sharing of data with both external and internal customers and clients. It has made it very useful for remote workers and facilitates effective collaboration.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"FileCloud has been a very positive experience overall."

"I decided to switch from OneDrive to FileCloud because FileCloud offers advantages over all the cloud products I have used, as it is more cost-effective, fast, and reliable, with unparalleled security compared to other alternatives, and it is very easy to use, allowing us to access our server and retrieve our files with ease."

"The granularity for the audit log in FileCloud is extremely valuable."

"Since using FileCloud, we have saved approximately 40% of the time it previously took to access data because we can retrieve information at any time with an internet connection."

"My main use case for FileCloud is that I love it because it's a very secure content collaboration platform that provides compliance, data governance, data leak protection, data retention, and digital rights management capability."

"Static code analysis is one of the best features of the solution."

"A main feature of Snyk is that when you go with SCA, you do get properly done security composition, also from the licensing and open-source parameters perspective. A lot of companies often use open-source libraries or frameworks in their code, which is a big security concern. Snyk deals with all the things and provides you with a proper report about whether any open-source code or framework that you are using is vulnerable. In that way, Snyk is very good as compared to other tools."

"Snyk allows for scaling across large organizations, accommodating tens of thousands of applications and over 60,000 repositories, making it suitable for wide-scale deployment."

"Snyk's focus on security is a valuable feature. Also Snyk supports multiple programming languages, which has positively affected my security practices. I use only two or three languages, and when I change the language in a file, it detects it in the same suite. I find the AI-powered scanning overall beneficial.Using Snyk's AI-powered scanning, I can detect around ten or twenty errors in my project with about twenty thousand lines of code, so it helps improve my project by identifying a lot of potential vulnerabilities."

"Snyk categorizes the level of vulnerability into high, medium, and low, which helps organizations prioritize which issues to tackle first."

"Snyk provides a lot of information on vulnerabilities, the packages being used, and their dependencies, giving good insight into the security of those packages."

"Provides clear information and is easy to follow with good feedback regarding code practices."

"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."

More Snyk pros

Cons

"The price can be a little higher for smaller organizations, but for medium to large enterprises, the price is very cost-effective and affordable."

"Currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server."

"I would suggest that the cost could be reduced to give smaller organizations a chance to afford this tool."

"However, one area that it should improve is that the updates need to be more constant, especially to the file drive."

"The requirement to uninstall and reinstall after every other update is time-consuming and should be addressed."

"Snyk should improve the scanning capabilities for other languages. For example, Veracode is strong with different languages such as Java, C#, and others."

"It would be ideal if there was customization with a focus on specific cybersecurity areas or capabilities."

"Snyk has several limitations, including issues with Gradle, NPM, and Xcode, and trouble with AutoPR."

"Although Snyk is strong, sometimes it flags vulnerabilities that are not reachable, not exploitable, and not relevant to a project."

"A feature we would like to see is the ability to archive and store historical data, without actually deleting it. It's a problem because it throws my numbers off. When I'm looking at the dashboard's current vulnerabilities, it's not accurate."

"We tried to integrate it into our software development environment but it went really badly. It took a lot of time and prevented the developers from using the IDE. Eventually, we didn't use it in the development area... I would like to see better integrations to help the developers get along better with the tool. And the plugin for the IDE is not so good. This is something we would like to have..."

"All such tools should definitely improve the signatures in their database. Snyk is pretty new to the industry. They have a pretty good knowledge base, but Veracode is on top because Veracode has been in this business for a pretty long time. They do have a pretty large database of all the findings, and the way that the correlation engine works is superb. Snyk is also pretty good, but it is not as good as Veracode in terms of maintaining a large space of all the historical data of vulnerabilities."

"There are a lot of false positives that need to be identified and separated."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The product's price is okay."

"We are using the open-source version for the scans."

"It's inexpensive and easy to license. It comes in standard package sizing, which is straightforward. This information is publicly found on their website."

"Snyk is a premium-priced product, so it's kind of expensive. The big con that I find frustrating is when a company charges extra for single sign-on (SSO) into their SaaS app. Snyk is one of the few that I'm willing to pay that add-on charge, but generally I disqualify products that charge an extra fee to do integrated authentication to our identity provider, like Okta or some other SSO. That is a big negative. We had to pay extra for that. That little annoyance aside, it is expensive. You get a lot out of it, but you're paying for that premium."

"Compared to Veracode, Snyk is definitely a cheaper tool."

"With Snyk, you get what you pay for. It is not a cheap solution, but you get a comprehensiveness and level of coverage that is very good. The dollars in the security budget only go so far. If I can maximize my value and be able to have some funds left over for other initiatives, I want to do that. That is what drives me to continue to say, "What's out there in the market? Snyk's expensive, but it's good. Is there something as good, but more affordable?" Ultimately, I find we could go cheaper, but we would lose the completeness of vision or scope. I am not willing to do that because Snyk does provide a pretty important benefit for us."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is acceptable, especially for enterprises. I don't think it's too much of a concern for our customers. Something like $99 per user is reasonable when the stakes are high."
