Performance of Synack Across Market Features

Synack Likes & Dislikes

Continuous pentesting with a scalable approach provides ongoing security coverage, faster vulnerability findings and better alignment with the application development lifecycle.

What I like most about the service is that it is ongoing and provides findings throughout the year and not just at a point in time like standard penetration testing.

Great results, customer service, support and details which help us make our security better.

Synack's coverage of infrastructure and API scanning is weaker in my opinion. Cost issues. A large portion of the findings are medium impact issues like XSS.

The overall quality of the findings varies. In my experience; most of the findings tend to be things that can be uncovered by a bug bounty program. The majority are XSS related and while useful, it does not justify the total cost of the service.

- Crowdsource pentesters periodically reach out from outside the platform. - Sometimes pentesters do not read the mission
