We performed a comparison between JFrog Xray and Snyk based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Container Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."JFrog Xray's reporting feature has a lot of options in it, including scanning."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of JFrog Xray is the display of the entire internal dependencies hierarchy."
"Good reporting functionalities."
"If multiple dependencies and vulnerabilities are found in a project, JFrog Xray is intelligent enough to tell you which vulnerability to target first."
"JFrog Xray shows us a list of vulnerabilities that can impact our code."
"I would say that this solution has helped our organization by allowing us to automate a lot of the processes."
"The most valuable features include enriched information around the vulnerabilities for better triaging, in terms of the vulnerability layer origin and vulnerability tree."
"Snyk is a good and scalable tool."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most effective feature in securing project dependencies stems from its ability to highlight security vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable features are their GitLab and JIRA integrations. The GitLab integration lets us pull projects in pretty easily, so that it's pretty minimal for developers to get it set up. Using the JIRA integration, it's also pretty easy to get the information that is generated, as a result of that GitLab integration, back to our teams in a non-intrusive way and in a workflow that we are already using."
"I find SCA to be valuable. It can read your libraries, your license and bring the best way to resolve your problem in the best scenario."
"Snyk is a developer-friendly product."
"Provides clear information and is easy to follow with good feedback regarding code practices."
"Since we have been using the solution via APIs, there are some limitations in the APIs."
"JFrog Xray does not have a dashboard."
"Reporting is crucial, but it is lacking in the current tool. Every organization seeks specific data points rather than general information. Therefore, we require customized reports from the Xray tool."
"The speed of JFrog Xray should improve. Other solutions have better performance."
"Lacks deeper reporting, the ability to compare things."
"I think that the user interface should be expanded to provide customers with a better dashboard for reviewing their feedback regarding their images and the vulnerabilities that are associated with the images."
"JFrog Xray's documentation and error logging could be improved."
"I think Snyk should add more of a vulnerability protection feature in the tool since it is an area where it lacks."
"Because Snyk has so many integrations and so many things it can do, it's hard to really understand all of them and to get that information to each team that needs it... If there were more self-service, perhaps tutorials or overviews for new teams or developers, so that they could click through and see things themselves, that would help."
"The log export function could be easier when shipping logs to other platforms such as Splunk."
"DAST has shortcomings, and Snyk needs to improve and overcome such shortcomings."
"We would like to have upfront knowledge on how easy it should be to just pull in an upgraded dependency, e.g., even introduce full automation for dependencies supposed to have no impact on the business side of things. Therefore, we would like some output when you get the report with the dependencies. We want to get additional information on the expected impact of the business code that is using the dependency with the newer version. This probably won't be easy to add, but it would be helpful."
"Basically the licensing costs are a little bit expensive."
"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."
"The feature for automatic fixing of security breaches could be improved."
