We performed a comparison between Snyk and Virsec Security Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."Our overall security has improved. We are running fewer severities and vulnerabilities in our packages. We fixed a lot of the vulnerabilities that we didn't know were there."
"We use Snyk to check vulnerabilities and rectify potential leaks in GitHub."
"The most valuable feature is that they add a lot of their own information to the vulnerabilities. They describe vulnerabilities and suggest their own mitigations or version upgrades. The information was the winning factor when we compared Snyk to others. This is what gave it more impact."
"The product's most valuable features are an open-source platform, remote functionality, and good pricing."
"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 is a good and scalable tool."
"The most effective feature in securing project dependencies stems from its ability to highlight security vulnerabilities."
"Static code analysis is one of the best features of the solution."
"We use the solution for Zero-day protection."
"One area where Snyk could improve is in providing developers with the line where the error occurs."
"We've also had technical issues with blocking newly introduced vulnerabilities in PRs and that was creating a lot of extra work for developers in trying to close and reopen the PR to get rid of some areas. We ended up having to disable that feature altogether because it wasn't really working for us and it was actually slowing down developer velocity."
"The tool's initial use is complex."
"The solution's integration with JFrog Artifactory could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Could include other types of security scanning and statistical analysis"
"The tool's dashboard needs to load since it is not responsive and takes time to load."
