Semgrep Reviews & Product Details

The fact that it can scan dependencies and has so many rules configured on the spot, with a very friendly and easy to use UI for the SemGrep pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think what semgrep needs is a feature that summarizes the overall security standing of a repository/project. And to allow the user to be able to tell the platform the links between different repos/ if there are any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Accuracy, UI. Semgrep AI assistant. Semgrep SCA reachability matrix Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bugs, Crashes. Frequent issues in PR scans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since it runs fast and integrates directly into CI/CD, my team can surface issues early — from insecure function use to misconfigured patterns — before they ever hit production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Filter limitations and changing some settings at the global level using UI. Having more advanced filtering and project-level controls would make it easier to manage findings across different environments, prioritize risks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are multiple things which is great in the SemGrep tool, 1st easy integration with GSM and CI-CD pipeline, 2nd is easy terminal based code scan which save lot of time and intergration if Code is small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not specific as such, since everything is good in right price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company has it automatically enabled to scan our code. We can click a link and see what items need to be addressed. I get a review of my code every commit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can hide security issues with dynamically loaded variables and methods Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little had to be done on our end to set up managed scans for the entire GitHub organization. Aside from Semgrep staff adjusting things to get a scan to complete, or large codebase was running SAST scans in a few days.

Github PR comments show users what to do, and AI can classify many reports correctly as not needing mitigation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Semgrep's features are designed around preventing new problems from being introduced in pull requests, but those same features are not available for issues found on trunk branches - these have to be dealt with manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool provides an analysis of detected vulnerabilities in the code and also offers suggested fixes. This feature is helpful for identifying potential issues and understanding how to address them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently, I have to manually trigger the analysis each time a new detection occurs, but I would prefer if the analysis happened automatically as soon as something is detected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Semgrep is that it helps catch bugs and enforce code standards early in development, without slowing engineers down. It’s quick, understandable, and fits naturally into the developer workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My main dislike is that Semgrep’s rule syntax can feel restrictive when dealing with dynamic code or frameworks that rely heavily on metaprogramming. It’s great for straightforward patterns, but deeper semantic analysis sometimes needs more manual effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Semgrep offers a single platform for SAST and SCA solutions which is good, but the best part is semgrep rules they are so flexible and easy to write that you dont need to manually do filtering or removing.

The tool has another feature I personally like is github actions that will show bugs in git itself with an AI reviewed fixed version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Semgrep doesnt have Product wise segmentation like for organizations with multiple products you will have only projects and have to use labels to categorise those products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is extremely clean, and all vulnerabilities are clearly highlighted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up the system for the first time was quite frustrating, as I found myself needing assistance from the IT agent on several occasions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
