Room For Improvement

Snyk should enhance integration, expand language support, improve documentation, and refine features for better efficiency and usability.
The system requires efficiency improvements in data usage, cost management, enrichment, search interface, query speed, and pre-built dashboards.
It lacks the ability to select branches on its Web UI, forcing users to rely on CLI or CI/CD for that functionality.
As we are moving toward GenAI, we expect Snyk to leverage AI features to improve code scanning findings.
The inclusion of AI to remove false positives would be beneficial.

Affordable tool boosts code scanning efficiency but faces integration hurdles
I lead a code security practice for our organization. We integrated Snyk into our GitHub, using CLI to automatically scan codebases and identify issues. We are a large organization with three independent entities, consolidating Snyk across all entities.  We also provide access through numerous…

Getting up and running is easy, even for a newbie but management of searches definitely needs improvement
Operational effectiveness with regards to when there's an issue, when there's a reactive issue, people are able to, or as well as proactively, actually, because we use their PagerDuty integrations. We use queries in Sumo Logic to trigger alerts based on logging. That allows us to proactively identify issues as they're happening. With those same alerts, obviously, with that platform, you can use it to reactively start looking at troubleshooting issues as they're happening right then and there or incidents. So it's been very, very good for alerting and for troubleshooting issues. For predicting issues before they happen, it is not very good. They have a feature called anomaly detection, but I think it's quite premature compared to other stuff out there. So it's good for alerts and for troubleshooting operational effectiveness. When your operations are down or segregated, it's perfect because it will help you diagnose the issues.
