Proactive monitoring boosts system reliability but requires improved protocol support and script customization
Improvements can be made to OpenText Business Process Monitoring, especially since we have faced issues with protocol support and creating scripts in past implementations. Creating a proactive request requires a specific skill set, so a template for scripts that work across various protocols should be recommended. The dashboard of OpenText Business Process Monitoring is good enough, but in my operational environment, it is not sufficient. Therefore, I have had to customize everything beyond the package, utilizing Prometheus and Grafana to render more dashboards.

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

"Product allows business analysts to create the application with very little software development time needed."
"The main benefits of using OpenText Business Process Monitoring for my company include anomaly detection and proactive analysis, which enhance our monitoring capabilities."
"What I find most valuable is that it has synthetic monitoring that you can run from different geographies and identify, as it’s more proactive monitoring than reactive monitoring, so it'll alert customers before they find out things are not working, and proactive monitoring is very helpful to most of our customers."
"The stability has been very good over the years."
"The tool team was sort of aware of those tools to deal with. And, that helped us to deliver the project on time."
"Automates processes and allows reports and statistics to improve the speed at which changes and assets are managed."
"The solution is very good at showing users ways to use a user action on a website and to see the performance."
"Ability to monitor multiple application protocols."
"We use Snyk to check vulnerabilities and rectify potential leaks in GitHub."
"Snyk allows us to spend less time securing applications, increasing their productivity."
"What is valuable about Snyk is its simplicity."
"The solution's Open Source feature gives us notifications and suggestions regarding how to address vulnerabilities."
"Everything that the product promises it will do, it's been doing that for us."
"I find SCA to be valuable. It can read your libraries, your license and bring the best way to resolve your problem in the best scenario."
"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 finds problems that we may not have ever found otherwise, so it is a significant benefit for us."
 

Cons

"Customer support is pretty average and can use some improvement."
"The product has been discontinued."
"The solution should offer better integration with other tools from a service management perspective."
"Product documentation is lacking, and sometimes, incorrect. Having better documentation will allow business analysts and data center personnel to rely on the Micro Focus help desk less."
"Improvements can be made to OpenText Business Process Monitoring, especially since we have faced issues with protocol support and creating scripts in past implementations."
"Product documentation is lacking, and sometimes, incorrect."
"Support has experienced high turnover recently due to HP acqusition of the former Mercury Interactive product."
"It doesn't have SNMP, the standard communication protocol for sending alerts."
"Basically the licensing costs are a little bit expensive."
"The tool should provide more flexibility and guidance to help us fix the top vulnerabilities before we go into production."
"The solution's reporting and storage could be improved."
"The documentation sometimes is not relevant. It does not cover the latest updates, scanning, and configurations. The documentation for some things is wrong and does not cover some configuration scannings for the multiple project settings."
"One area where Snyk could improve is in providing developers with the line where the error occurs."
"There are some new features that we would like to see added, e.g., more visibility into library usage for the code. Something along the lines where it's doing the identification of where vulnerabilities are used, etc. This would cause them to stand out in the market as a much different platform."
"There is always more work to do around managing the volume of information when you've got thousands of vulnerabilities. Trying to get those down to zero is virtually impossible, either through ignoring them all or through fixing them. That filtering or information management is always going to be something that can be improved."
"They need to improve the Snyk plugins and make it easier to make your optimizations based on your own needs or features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a three-year license package, it was a good deal."
"You can get a good deal with Snyk for pricing. It's a little expensive, but it is worth it."
"It is pretty expensive. It is not a cheap product."
"The product's price is okay."
"Compared to Veracode, Snyk is definitely a cheaper tool."
"We do have some missing licenses issues, especially with non-SPDX compliant one, but we expect this to be fixed soon"
"Snyk is an expensive solution."
"Their licensing model is fairly robust and scalable for our needs. I believe we have reached a reasonable agreement on the licensing to enable hundreds of developers to participate in this product offering. The solution is very tailored towards developers and its licensing model works well for us."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a three. It is a cheap solution."
