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.

Synopsys Software Risk Manager (SRM) may have many integrations, but the resulting output is a long list of vulns with no prioritization or data enrichment. There is no way to cut through the noise.

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.
