Overview

Product Information on Snyk Code

Updated 2nd April 2024

What is Snyk Code?

Snyk Code is a developer-first SAST solution that keeps pace with modern development, analyzing source code directly with speed and accuracy across the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Snyk’s DeepCode AI engine performs in-depth scans involving single-file, interfile, and data flow analysis in real time, ensuring accurate scans that remove false positive results and earn developer trust. In addition to providing visibility and governance during development, Snyk Code reduces vulnerability backlogs and time-to-fix by providing developers with actionable fixes in-line with code in their IDE, CLI, and pull request workflows.

“Scalable Solution Potential Not Fully Realized Due to Shifting Priorities”

4.0
Dec 1, 2025
Snyk has worked to understand our environment and how to help us fully utilize the platform that we have bought into. The only reason I would not rate them higher is because of the emphasis on closing future deals at the expense of our current business. There is more we need to do to make the platform successful and we are getting sidetracked with new offers every quarter.

“Snyk Offers Broad Features But Faces Issues With Support, Stability, and Fundamental Features”

1.0
Sep 10, 2025
Snyk has a well-rounded product offering but lacks excellence and foundational customer support. Fundamental features are lacking from Snyk's products. It is very difficult to get Engineering support for bug fixes and enhancements. We have noticed instability with PR scans.

Snyk Code Likes & Dislikes

Like

The product is very good and the new features that are coming out of the platform are very interesting and modern. I feel like we are working with a solution that will continue to scale and grow with our maturity as an organization.

Like

SAST scans provide good remediation details. IDE extension is available on all major IDEs. The .snyk file is a good way to ignore findings using Everything as Code.

Like

Easy to integrate, excellent visibility of security posture in source code, excellent features for enhancing developer security e.g. AI code fixes, automated PRs, Snyk Learn access

Dislike

The business cycle needs to mature a bit in order to emphasize scalable growth versus focusing on all of the new offerings that are available as soon as they are announced.

Dislike

Lack of auto-import for new repositories. Repositories must be manually imported. They provide a script that is inactively maintained that must be executed by the customer. Findings for deleted files are not removed from the platform. Lack of customer support. Support will often do anything possible from any work going to the Product Team. This includes bug fixes and feature requests. Lack of excellence. Snyk PR checks have some stability issues. They default to asking the customer to re-run tests opposed to ensuring Snyk tests run properly the first time.

Dislike

Not as good as other tools when it comes to code quality scanning, inability to detect test secrets, duplication of findings if the same repo in onboarded twice etc
