Room For Improvement

Snyk requires improved language support, IDE integration, UI, accuracy, reporting, automation, documentation, API access, and AI-driven vulnerability detection.
Zscaler needs enhancements in speed, multi-tenant capabilities, compatibility, DLP features, cost, stability, support, and connectivity monitoring.
It lacks the ability to select branches on its Web UI, forcing users to rely on CLI or CI/CD for that functionality.
Both Veracode and Snyk should implement this new scoring system for CVSS and AIVSS.
The inclusion of AI to remove false positives would be beneficial.
They might be able to identify if something is missing with Zscaler.

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.
Sumit Bhanwala - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud-based platform simplifies device and data center management
I find it to be good. The solution is cloud-based with the latest inspection engines, which I find to be amazing. We are less dependent on data centers and device management, which reduces our efforts significantly. It improves our device management, data center management, and updating devices. We need fewer engineers for this management, and it reduces time and efforts for data center management, device upgrades, and IT support.
