We performed a comparison between Snyk and Tenable Security Center based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."Snyk is a good and scalable tool."
"Our customers find container scans most valuable. They are always talking about it."
"Provides clear information and is easy to follow with good feedback regarding code practices."
"The solution's vulnerability database, in terms of comprehensiveness and accuracy, is very high-level. As far as I know, it's the best among their competitors."
"I think all the standard features are quite useful when it comes to software component scanning, but I also like the new features they're coming out with, such as container scanning, secrets scanning, and static analysis with SAST."
"We're loving some of the Kubernetes integration as well. That's really quite cool. It's still in the early days of our use of it, but it looks really exciting. In the Kubernetes world, it's very good at reporting on the areas around the configuration of your platform, rather than the things that you've pulled in. There's some good advice there that allows you to prioritize whether something is important or just worrying. That's very helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Snyk is the SBOM."
"Snyk is a developer-friendly product."
"This solution has a much lower rate of false positives compared to competing products."
"Tenable.sc's best features are the availability model, accident management, and scoring."
"Their overall cost of service is pretty good."
"The usability is really good. It's very easy to use and a good platform. It is scalable and very stable. The technical support is fine and the setup is super easy."
"Has a great advanced scanning feature."
"It basically reviews our threat landscape vulnerability."
"What is useful to me is being able to fulfill very customized scanning policies. In the clinical environment, because of vendor control, we can't perform credential-vulnerability scanning. And network scans, which I've done before, can cause a lot of impact. Being able to create very customized policies to be able to routinely scan and audit our clinical networks, while simultaneously not causing impact, is important to us."
"Tenable's most valuable features are the credential scan, vulnerability reports, and vulnerability ratings (VPR)."
"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."
"The tool should provide more flexibility and guidance to help us fix the top vulnerabilities before we go into production."
"I would like to give further ability to grouping code repositories, in such a way that you could group them by the teams that own them, then produce alerting to those teams. The way that we are seeing it right now, the alerting only goes to a couple of places. I wish we could configure the code to go to different places."
"The log export function could be easier when shipping logs to other platforms such as Splunk."
"Generating reports and visibility through reports are definitely things they can do better."
"Scalability has some issues because we have a lot of code and its use is mandatory. Therefore, it can be slow at times, especially because there are a lot of projects and reporting. Some UI improvements could help with this."
"Offering API access in the lower or free open-source tiers would be better. That would help our customers. If you don't have an enterprise plan, it becomes challenging to integrate with the rest of the systems. Our customers would like to have some open-source integrations in the next release."
"At times we have had the typical bugs."
"The reporting needs a lot of work on the template."
"There is not much room for improvement. However, there should be a guide that describes the step-by-step procedures for doing tasks. Otherwise, training is required from a senior guy to a junior guy."
"The web application scanning area can be improved."
"We would like to see the inclusion of external IPs and simplified reporting that's easier to deal with"
"Security can always be improved."
"The product could be user-friendly, and they could enhance the web application's security features."
"The solution should include compliance-based scanning."
