What is Snyk?

Snyk is a developer-first application security platform that helps software teams find and fix vulnerabilities in their code, open-source dependencies, container images, and infrastructure-as-code configurations. By integrating directly into developer workflows through IDE plugins, CLI tools, Git repository scanning, and CI/CD pipeline checks, Snyk shifts security left and enables developers to address security issues as they code rather than after deployment. Snyk's comprehensive platform covers static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), container security, and IaC security in a unified experience.

Best for: Developer-first application security platform for finding and fixing vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, containers, and IaC

Pros

  • Highly rated developer experience with seamless IDE and Git integration
  • Automated fix PRs reduce mean time to remediation significantly
  • Comprehensive platform covering SAST, SCA, containers, and IaC
  • Free tier enables adoption without procurement approval
  • Large proprietary vulnerability database with fast disclosure coverage

Things to check

  • Per-developer pricing becomes expensive at scale for large engineering orgs
  • SAST capabilities are newer and less mature than dedicated SAST vendors
  • Enterprise features like custom policies require higher-tier plans
  • Dependency scanning depth can vary across less common language ecosystems
  • Alert fatigue from high volume of findings without effective prioritization tuning
