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.

Unified monitoring has reduced alert noise and provides accurate, proactive application security
Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made. More customization options for dashboards and reports would help teams tailor the platform to their specific metrics and workflows. I also occasionally encounter DevOps tools that are not yet supported natively. Expanded coverage for niche or emerging tools would make onboarding even smoother. These points, however, are minor compared to the overall value the platform delivers, especially given the strength of its AI-driven detection, remediation, and supply chain protection capabilities. It would also be an improvement for licensing with regard to on-premise variants. Perhaps we could have an on-premise option for standard subscription.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Snyk finds problems that we may not have ever found otherwise, so it is a significant benefit for us."
"It helps us meet compliance requirements, by identifying and fixing vulnerabilities, and to have a robust vulnerability management program."
"The most valuable feature of Snyk is the SBOM."
"The best feature of Snyk is the integration with our ticketing system, which is Jira."
"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 helps me pinpoint security errors in my code."
"They evolved their maturity because they could find the vulnerabilities before the pipeline runs."
"There are many valuable features, for example the way the scanning feature works and the integration is cool because I can integrate it and I don't need to wait until the CACD, I can plug it in to our local ID and there I can do the scanning, that is the part I like best."
"I would like to highlight Xygeni's Core AI function, which makes it easier to understand security information for both technical leaders as well as for those who are higher up in business management, helping make smarter, faster decisions and offering more secure developments in less time."
"Xygeni provides a comprehensive and developer-friendly approach to securing the entire software supply chain."
"The visibility of our open-source supply chain dependencies and real-time detection of vulnerabilities have been invaluable."
"The best Xygeni feature is the ability to filter what is truly important, which really helps me focus on the key vulnerabilities in the software that I am building."
"Since using Xygeni, the time to review vulnerabilities has decreased."
 

Cons

"Snyk could improve by reducing the alert noise because in large projects, security tools can surface a lot of findings."
"Snyk's API and UI features could work better in terms of speed."
"You need to go to the tool, export it as a CSV, and then find it, which is ridiculous."
"We have seen cases where tools didn't find or recognize certain dependencies. These are known issues, to some extent, due to the complexity in the language or stack that you using. There are some certain circumstances where the tool isn't actually finding what it's supposed to be finding, then it could be misleading."
"Basically the licensing costs are a little bit expensive."
"It lists projects. So, if you have a number of microservices in an enterprise, then you could have pages of findings. Developers will then spend zero time going through the pages of reports to figure out, "Is there something I need to fix?" While it may make sense to list all the projects and issues in these very long lists for completeness, Snyk could do a better job of bubbling up and grouping items, e.g., a higher level dashboard that draws attention to things that are new, the highest priority things, or things trending in the wrong direction. That would make it a lot easier. They don't quite have that yet in container security."
"The solution's integration with JFrog Artifactory could be improved."
"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."
"Xygeni could be improved if on-premise options were available starting from the starter packages, not only the enterprise models."
"There should be more configuration options that make it easier to target the issues that are more important in your organization's context."
"I think Xygeni could be improved by having more information in the form of videos in Spanish and more use cases to share it with more prospects."
"Xygeni was highly effective for us, but there are areas where improvements could be made."
"Xygeni can be more automated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For what Snyk offers, it has the best cost-benefit I have ever seen because you're buying the license per user."
"Snyk is a premium-priced product, so it's kind of expensive. The big con that I find frustrating is when a company charges extra for single sign-on (SSO) into their SaaS app. Snyk is one of the few that I'm willing to pay that add-on charge, but generally I disqualify products that charge an extra fee to do integrated authentication to our identity provider, like Okta or some other SSO. That is a big negative. We had to pay extra for that. That little annoyance aside, it is expensive. You get a lot out of it, but you're paying for that premium."
"Compared to Veracode, Snyk is definitely a cheaper tool."
"The product's price is okay."
"Snyk is an expensive solution."
"The product has good pricing."
"We do have some missing licenses issues, especially with non-SPDX compliant one, but we expect this to be fixed soon"
"Presently, my company uses an open-source version of the solution. The solution's pricing can be considered quite reasonable owing to the features they offer."
