We performed a comparison between IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service and Snyk based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google and others in Containers as a Service (CaaS)."We deploy the solution in parts so we can easily manage the parts to improve the robustness and reliability of the software."
"IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service has enough flexibility that we needed."
"The most effective feature in securing project dependencies stems from its ability to highlight security vulnerabilities."
"Snyk is a good and scalable tool."
"The most valuable feature of Snyk is the software composition analysis."
"Snyk is a developer-friendly product."
"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."
"We're loving some of the Kubernetes integration as well. That's really quite cool. It's still in the early days of our use of it, but it looks really exciting. In the Kubernetes world, it's very good at reporting on the areas around the configuration of your platform, rather than the things that you've pulled in. There's some good advice there that allows you to prioritize whether something is important or just worrying. That's very helpful."
"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."
"The solution's Open Source feature gives us notifications and suggestions regarding how to address vulnerabilities."
"IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service's log management should be improved because it is a bit complicated."
"IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service is not user-friendly, they could improve the user interface, and add more features to compete with Amazon AWS which is better."
"We use Bamboo for CI.CD, and we had problems integrating Snyk with it. Ultimately, we got the two solutions to work together, but it was difficult."
"It lists projects. So, if you have a number of microservices in an enterprise, then you could have pages of findings. Developers will then spend zero time going through the pages of reports to figure out, "Is there something I need to fix?" While it may make sense to list all the projects and issues in these very long lists for completeness, Snyk could do a better job of bubbling up and grouping items, e.g., a higher level dashboard that draws attention to things that are new, the highest priority things, or things trending in the wrong direction. That would make it a lot easier. They don't quite have that yet in container security."
"Could include other types of security scanning and statistical analysis"
"The tool's initial use is complex."
"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."
"Basically the licensing costs are a little bit expensive."
"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."
"I think Snyk should add more of a vulnerability protection feature in the tool since it is an area where it lacks."
IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service is ranked 5th in Containers as a Service (CaaS) with 2 reviews while Snyk is ranked 4th in Application Security Tools with 41 reviews.
