Veracode vs Snyk
Choose Veracode Over Snyk
Snyk appears robust at first, but it lacks native production scanning, has limited scalability, and suffers from high false positives, making it less effective for comprehensive AppSec programs.
Unmasking the illusions of Snyk
Unrivaled application security that delivers
| Capabilities | Veracode | Snyk |
|---|---|---|
| Point solutions or holistic platform | Veracode delivers an integrated platform that scans applications from code to cloud connecting dev and security teams. | Snyk scans before deployment with SAST and SCA but does not recommend scanning in production environments depending on the type of application you have. |
| Developer-friendly Appsec program | Veracode integrates where the developers work, and helps organizations build an AppSec program that reduces risk with robust policies and reporting. It’s the expertise that has built thousands of AppSec programs. | Snyk lacks scale for full AppSec programs with limited policies and reporting. And on risk, Snyk allows developers to ignore findings, leaving security teams in the dark. |
| IDE integrations | Veracode streamlines the process of scanning and securing code with popular IDE plugins for Eclipse, Visual Studio, VS Code, and IntelliJ family which includes IntelliJ, PyCharm, Android Studio & Ryder. | Snyk claims to offer 12 IDE integrations but 9 of them are for one JetBrains plugin. |
| Coverage of languages and frameworks | Veracode delivers market leading coverage with over 30+ languages and 100+ frameworks. On average, we cover more CWEs than Snyk, especially in C# and JAVA. | Snyk supports less than half of the languages and frameworks Veracode supports. |
| Quality results and remediations | Veracode findings offer the lowest false positive rate out of the box, without extensive tuning. Veracode Fix uses AI for scale and speed, backed by proprietary security research – because AI models trained on open-source are vulnerable to manipulation and poisoning. | Snyk detection and remediation are impacted both by noisy findings due to high false positive rates and fewer detectable flaw types. |
| Policy and reporting | Detailed reporting and customizable dashboards for presentations, along with Peer Benchmarking. | Limited policies and reporting. |
