For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience with Snyk, and it is a new solution chosen by my company. I am a reseller of the solution.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
One security engineer uses Snyk in our company, but we don't use the tool for our own use cases, and we only deploy it for our customers.
How are customer service and support?
I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Our company previously used Micro Focus for three or four months. We have worked with Checkmark for more than two or three years.
We provide Snyk to our customers. It is a very strong solution.
How was the initial setup?
I rate the initial setup a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.
The solution is deployed on the cloud since it is a SaaS solution and doesn't have an on-premises version.
The deployment process for Snyk takes like a week.
For the steps in Snyk's deployment, one has to buy a license and click on the deploy icon on Snyk's website, after which it syncs up with the system.
One person is required for deployment. Even if we talk about something like container security or DAST, only one person would be required for the deployment process.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a three. It is a cheap solution.
What other advice do I have?
I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it since it is easy to deploy and has strong features like machine learning and the ability to analyze static codes.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
