We performed a comparison between GitHub and Snyk based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The deployment is fast since we just have to run the script, and once it's done, it takes a few minutes."
"The product has a very user-friendly interface and user-friendly security."
"The most valuable feature of GitHub is version control and continuous integration."
"If you want to share documents, you can create articles and diagrams with GitHub and share."
"During our use of GitHub, we have not encountered any problems and GitHub adds new features frequently."
"All the features are valuable, but the most important feature is that GitHub has advanced security. The second important feature is the capability to create custom GitHub actions and the capability to deploy in different types of architectural infrastructures, such as hybrid, private, or public."
"This product allows us to easily collaborate on development tasks with our subcontractors, and control the workflow as the project progresses."
"It has a lot of features from the code development perspective. You get a lot of features such as repo, commit, merge, and branch. You can play around and do things on the fly. It is easy and simple to deploy. It is also easier to use when working from home."
"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 solution has great features and is quite stable."
"There are many valuable features. For example, the way the scanning feature works. The integration is cool because I can integrate it and I don't need to wait until the CACD, I can plug it in to our local ID, and there I can do the scanning. That is the part I like best."
"Snyk categorizes the level of vulnerability into high, medium, and low, which helps organizations prioritize which issues to tackle first."
"It has a nice dashboard where I can see all the vulnerabilities and risks that they provided. I can also see the category of any risk, such as medium, high, and low. They provide the input priority-wise. The team can target the highest one first, and then they can go to medium and low ones."
"Snyk has given us really good results because it is fully automated. We don't have to scan projects every time to find vulnerabilities, as it already stores the dependencies that we are using. It monitors 24/7 to find out if there are any issues that have been reported out on the Internet."
"Our customers find container scans most valuable. They are always talking about it."
"While using the solution when merging two code branches the code becomes a bit messy. This should be improved in the future."
"The solution can improve by adding video guides, official guides, or short courses that cater to beginners who are new to the system. These resources could offer step-by-step guidance on how to use GitHub, including common procedures such as pulling and committing. Currently, many of us have to resort to searching for information on how to do these tasks via Google. An official guide provided by GitHub itself would be a valuable asset to newcomers and would save them time and effort."
"There could be more integration into Azure."
"It would be useful to have tutorial videos within the GitHub dashboard."
"I would like a more graphical, user-friendly UI, to avoid writing so much code on cmd."
"The initial setup and implementation could be easier, I had some difficulties with it at first but I don't have a development background."
"It is currently only from the development perspective. It doesn't have features related to project management and testing. It is not like Azure. So, there is a lot of room for improvement. It is a version control product, and it would be good if they can come up with a complete DevOps product."
"The product must document the CI/CD process more."
"The solution's integration with JFrog Artifactory could be improved."
"Offering API access in the lower or free open-source tiers would be better. That would help our customers. If you don't have an enterprise plan, it becomes challenging to integrate with the rest of the systems. Our customers would like to have some open-source integrations in the next release."
"Generating reports and visibility through reports are definitely things they can do better."
"One area where Snyk could improve is in providing developers with the line where the error occurs."
"They need to improve the Snyk plugins and make it easier to make your optimizations based on your own needs or features."
"Compatibility with other products would be great."
"The log export function could be easier when shipping logs to other platforms such as Splunk."
"The solution could improve the reports. They have been working on improving the reports but more work could be done."
