"Helpful tool for recognizing vulnerabilities in supply chain / dependencies"
5/5
What do you like best about Snyk?

Fast response time to at least notify of a vulnerability and, when available, version details of a package to resolve it. Also useful in that it creates PRs to fix those vulnerabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snyk?

The static analysis still has some ways to go, for now it can be useful but depending on the language can often show false positives - not something unique to Snyk, it's a common problem for any static analysis tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's foundational to the industry"
5/5
What do you like best about Snyk?

Snyk has always pushed further than npm audit and provides the checks I need to feel comfortable deploying my changes or catching new zero days in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snyk?

Like any tool where people work on it in a 9-5, Snyk costs money. Npm audit is getting better and is free. That said, NodeJS is the package injection ecosystem, so I don't mind going a bit premium for a sense of safety on my projects. Additionally, the static analysis is pretty nice as well.

"Snyk is truly developer friendly"
5/5
What do you like best about Snyk?

I have followed the Snyk team's work since my first year in graduate school; I researched 3rd party packages and their security on open-source GitHub projects. I have always been impressed by the approach they've taken to security. They were not afraid to offer off-beat (yet very much needed) solutions. Snyk has evolved exponentially since then with a variety of features, and offering docker security excites me. I can't wait for them to grow into web3 and the WebAssembly space soon as well.

What do you dislike about Snyk?

Snyk is more expensive than the competition, significantly so. However, I'd say the price difference is potentially worth it considering, you may have to hire an Engineer to hack workarounds for other solutions out there. Depends on your risk factor for future work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool, easy to use, developer-friendly and free for open source projects"
5/5
What do you like best about Snyk?

It is free for public repositories, and it is easy to create an account and integrate it with your GitHub repositories. It scans your dependencies very quickly and provides accurate and actionable results to fix those vulnerabilities. Even having a way to automatically submit PRs directly to fix the issues found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snyk?

Sometimes the error messages are not very clear, like with the IDE plugin, and it is challenging to understand why the project wasn't imported or scanned. But overall it works seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It helps you in maintain your projects with latest security patchs."
5/5
What do you like best about Snyk?

I would like it to do the security scanner at the library level, code, to do the pull request, the merge, the automated CI/CD flow control, with everything that entails, container creation, container scanner, notifications to the necessary people, push to the container manager, more notifications. Automate as much as possible regarding passive safety. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snyk?

There is nothing to dislike, little details like I would like to have a more intuitive way in the interface for more granular control over the projects being watched. For example, if I decide to stop monitoring said project, I don't see a way to do it at a glance. I would like to select it and delete it from the dashboard, or for example, although it is great that you notify me of the possibility of fixing such security problems, I would like you to be more proactive and suggest that you have said fixed branch ready and simply tell me that you fixed this and that. Of course, you should be able to configure it and say, I want to be more on top of this project, just let me know, or tell the system, ok, I trust you, apply all possible security measures as soon as you find a fix.

"Extremely versatile vulnerability scan"
5/5
What do you like best about Snyk?

Snyk provides a highly versatile scan of code to expose common vulnerabilities in code, not only by recognising vulnerable blocks of code but also by following the path of user-submitted variables through the code to ensure proper validation has been performed. Its integration with Github and pricing model are also exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snyk?

The downside of Snyk is that not enough people are using it and making the internet a better place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
