We performed a comparison between Rapid7 InsightVM and Snyk based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and others in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management."The reports in Rapid7 InsightVM are useful when compared to competitors."
"InsightVM offers a robust platform for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing vulnerabilities across an organization's IT infrastructure."
"This solution is much more user-friendly than past solutions I have used."
"The assessment is most valuable."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"It's easy to use. It's fast, it's a powerful easy to access tool."
"This solution's most useful feature is that it is entirely a single-page application."
"The performance is good."
"The solution's vulnerability database, in terms of comprehensiveness and accuracy, is very high-level. As far as I know, it's the best among their competitors."
"The product's most valuable features are an open-source platform, remote functionality, and good pricing."
"A main feature of Snyk is that when you go with SCA, you do get properly done security composition, also from the licensing and open-source parameters perspective. A lot of companies often use open-source libraries or frameworks in their code, which is a big security concern. Snyk deals with all the things and provides you with a proper report about whether any open-source code or framework that you are using is vulnerable. In that way, Snyk is very good as compared to other tools."
"The solution's Open Source feature gives us notifications and suggestions regarding how to address vulnerabilities."
"The CLI feature is quite useful because it gives us a lot of flexibility in what we want to do. If you use the UI, all the information is there and you can see what Snyk is showing you, but there is nothing else that you can change. However, when you use the CLI, then you can use commands and can get the output or response back from Snyk. You can also take advantage of that output in a different way. For the same reason, we have been using the CLI for the hard gate in the pipeline: Obtain a particular CDSS score for vulnerability. Based on that information, we can then decide if we want to block or allow the build. We have more flexibility if we use the CLI."
"Snyk is a developer-friendly product."
"Snyk performs software composition analysis (SCA) similar to other expensive tools."
"The advantage of Snyk is that Snyk automatically creates a pull request for all the findings that match or are classified according to the policy that we create. So, once we review the PR within Snyk and we approve the PR, Snyk auto-fixes the issue, which is quite interesting and which isn't there in any other product out there. So, Snyk is a step ahead in this particular area."
"They should improve the cybersecurity feature of the solution."
"I would like to see more integration."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"Some of our customers want to be completely cloud based, and Rapid7 doesn't offer this as an option."
"There needs to be much clearer instructions surrounding scanning."
"It would be great to have a mobile application client. Currently, you have to use a mobile web browser on a device, but it is not similar to the desktop web browser in terms of user experience. It would be nice to have a mobile application to access the platform."
"Some difficulties with the online reporting and lack of integrations."
"The reporting could be better."
"We have seen cases where tools didn't find or recognize certain dependencies. These are known issues, to some extent, due to the complexity in the language or stack that you using. There are some certain circumstances where the tool isn't actually finding what it's supposed to be finding, then it could be misleading."
"It would be great if they can include dynamic, interactive, and run-time scanning features. Checkmarx and Veracode provide dynamic, interactive, and run-time scanning, but Snyk doesn't do that. That's the reason there is more inclination towards Veracode, Checkmarx, or AppScan. These are a few tools available in the market that do all four types of scanning: static, dynamic, interactive, and run-time."
"We tried to integrate it into our software development environment but it went really badly. It took a lot of time and prevented the developers from using the IDE. Eventually, we didn't use it in the development area... I would like to see better integrations to help the developers get along better with the tool. And the plugin for the IDE is not so good. This is something we would like to have..."
"I think Snyk should add more of a vulnerability protection feature in the tool since it is an area where it lacks."
"Snyk's API and UI features could work better in terms of speed."
"Could include other types of security scanning and statistical analysis"
"The tool needs improvement in license compliance. I would like to see the integration of better policy management in the product's future release. When it comes to the organization that I work for, there are a lot of business units since we are a group of companies. Each of these companies has its specific requirements and its own appetite for risk. This should be able to reflect in flexible policies. We need to be able to configure policies that can be adjusted later or overridden by the business unit that is using the product."
"It can be improved from the reporting perspective and scanning perspective. They can also improve it on the UI front."
