Room For Improvement

Snyk requires improved language support, IDE integration, UI, accuracy, reporting, automation, documentation, API access, and AI-driven vulnerability detection.
Tenable Cloud Security needs faster operations, improved support, detailed reporting, AI integration, and easier multi-cloud implementation.
It lacks the ability to select branches on its Web UI, forcing users to rely on CLI or CI/CD for that functionality.
The inclusion of AI to remove false positives would be beneficial.
As we are moving toward GenAI, we expect Snyk to leverage AI features to improve code scanning findings.
The only complaint I hear in the market is from resellers that Tenable management team in Brazil doesn't play fair with the channel and resellers.
 

Setup Cost

Snyk offers competitive, scalable pricing based on committers, providing value and flexibility for large-scale enterprise deployments.
Users find Tenable Cloud Security's subscription model reasonably priced and well-suited for enterprises, offering good value compared to competitors.
After negotiations, we received a special package with a good price point.
Snyk is recognized as the cheapest option we have evaluated.
 

Valuable Features

Snyk excels with its ease of integration, extensive vulnerability management, and cost-effective support for multiple development tools and languages.
Tenable Cloud Security offers comprehensive vulnerability detection, deep cloud analysis, IAM features, and multi-cloud integration into a single dashboard.
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.
Perhaps the best functionalities are related to promoting a deeper analysis of the environment where applications are running in terms of creating a double armor of security to block threats that may come in the cloud with Tenable Cloud Security.
The best features Tenable Cloud Security offers in my experience are automatic scanning, frequent scanning, and automatic finding, which I find valuable.

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.
Antonio Scola - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers reliable security support and encourages a safe migration to cloud environments while there is room for better reseller collaboration
I really don't know to tell the truth because we sell many solutions and don't sell exclusively Tenable, so I'm not in a condition to give a precise definition of what could be improved. My perception is this: when customer A needs Tenable Cloud Security, we introduce and demonstrate it. They POC, they appreciate it. The solution serves in such use cases ABC. I am very pragmatic and straightforward - as long as they use or want the solution, I am interested. If they don't, my question is what are the main objections? They may discuss pricing, or they may say they thought the solution had certain technical capabilities that they could not find.
