Features	Snyk	Synopsys
Stable and trusted	Market disruptor with the highest growth rate in the market	Synopsys plans to sell its AppSec products to a PE firm.
Fast, scalable rollout	Snyk is a lightweight cloud platform designed for a quick, efficient roll-out with minimal maintenance resources required.	Synopsys requires a separate installation per product.
Risk-based prioritization	Snyk AppRisk helps security teams reduce overall risk and determine what to fix first by 1) creating a holistic picture of risk across all assets with application, development and business context and 2) prioritizing the riskiest assets and vulnerabilities based on factors such as whether code has been deployed or is executed in runtime.

One platform, one UX	All of Snyk’s products are integrated into one platform with a single, seamless user experience.	To manage application risk at scale, Synopsys requires multiple products including Software Risk Manager in addition to either Covertly, Blackduck, or Polaris.
