Overview

Product Information on Snyk Open Source

Updated 22nd March 2024

What is Snyk Open Source?

Snyk Open Source provides a developer-first SCA solution, to find, prioritize, and fix security vulnerabilities and license issues in open source packages, throughout the software development lifecycle. Application context helps prioritize reachable, deployed, or publicly exposed open source issues that pose the greatest risk to your organization, while guardrails verify that your projects adhere to your security and license policies. SBOM exporting for open source and container projects allows you to meet increasing software transparency regulations, and SBOM testing can scan external tools for vulnerabilities.

Snyk Open Source Likes & Dislikes

Like

The CLI scanning tools are very powerful. The UI is intuitive and has very good reporting dashboards. The API is powerful and can be used for data extraction. There are multiple integrations available such as Jira, GitHub, BitBucket, Artifactory.

Like

the PRs complete experience

Like

Product performs as expected for most of the requirements

Dislike

Sometimes, when importing repos into Snyk, the import fails but the reason is not obvious. This can be due to dependencies not being accessible - for example, they are in Artifactory - or because the version of the tools (python, java) or package manager (e.g. npm, maven) used in the repo don't match the versions used by Snyk.

Dislike

the documentation is not updated

Dislike

using 2 products - SCA and SAST and though coming from snyk the way integration is designed it needs to be handled differently. Regarding service, typically support response is not as expected and have to many a times work with Account Manager to get attention
