Snyk Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner defines the application security testing (AST) market as consisting of providers of products that enable organizations to assess applications for the presence and management of risk. These products identify risk by evaluating source code, performing runtime tests and inspecting supply chain components. AST products can be integrated throughout development workflows for continuous assessment or be used to perform ad hoc evaluations. They enable organizations to manage application risks by providing an integrated set of capabilities for risk identification, prioritization and triage, policy evaluation and enforcement, and remediation assistance. Market offerings are available in on-premises, SaaS and hybrid delivery models. Organizations leverage AST products to assess applications for the presence of security vulnerabilities and other risks (e.g., legal and operational) throughout their life cycle. These assessments are used to measure and manage the risks within individual applications, application components or groups of applications in the context of their business criticality and other key attributes (e.g., environment, sensitive data handling, etc.). AST products further enable organizations to evaluate software for compliance with internal policies as well as regulatory requirements established by governments or authoritative industry groups.

It is a very mature tool for javascript, for c# and python is medium, but others like C it is not that good

Security Analyst

I've had a very positive experience with Snyk Code overall, the platform is easy to integrate into existing development workflows and provides actionable security insights without slowing down developers. The IDE integrations and pull request feedback are especially useful for catching issues early in the development lifecycle.
