Snyk
Developer-first security platform — SAST, SCA, containers, IaC with DeepCode AI auto-fix.
About
Snyk is a developer-first application security platform used by 4,500+ organizations and named a Leader in Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant for Application Security Testing. Snyk Code runs the DeepCode AI engine for SAST across 19+ languages with results in seconds; Snyk Open Source scans dependencies with reachability analysis that filters out unreachable vulnerabilities and opens auto-fix pull requests; Snyk Container and Snyk IaC cover Docker images and Terraform/CloudFormation/Kubernetes misconfigurations. It integrates into VS Code and JetBrains IDEs for real-time feedback plus GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. The free tier includes monthly SAST, SCA, container, and IaC tests; Team starts at $25/developer/month.
The honest picture: Snyk is cloud-only with no self-hosted option, has no DAST offering, and lacks native secret scanning. Compliance reporting is enterprise-only, and per-developer pricing climbs steeply at scale (roughly $67K–$90K/year for 100 developers). It complements rather than replaces secret scanners and DAST tools.
