No incentive was offered So far our company has adopted Snyk across our SDLC and incorporated it into our repos and pipelines and have enjoyed our experience with using Snyk so far. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Snyk simplifies security. It can scan your for vulnerabilities during development or when your run a pipeline in azure dev ops. This raises issues before they make it to production so you have the comfort of knowing that new and existing packages have no known security vulnerabilities. I also really like the ability to one click fix issues within Synk where it can automatically fix the issue and create a PR within azure devops - this simplifies the process and saves time. #### Cons Not all issues have a 1 click fix which is understandable. --- ### Good product, easy setup, reason and flexible pricing - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: ☁️ 👩‍💻 M G. - Industry: Telecommunications - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: 1-3 years · weekly - Reviewed: May 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, good product for a reasonable price. The integrations are good, and it is really easy to start scanning for vulnerabilities in your code. I would recommend Snyk. The sales folks at Snyk need to be less aggressive; I almost walked away at first. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The setup is reasonable. Our previous SCA & container scanner was more expensive and clunky. Snyk is reasonably priced and reasonably easy to set up. The plans are flexible. I like the Jira integration. I like the remediation information for each of the vulnerabilities found. I like being able to open a pull request. I like all the integrations. #### Cons The product is good. The sales team is too aggressive. I wish notifications included Microsoft Teams. The hardest part is getting devs to implement the security fix. --- ### Snyk review - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Accounting - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · weekly - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
