DevEx (Developer Experience) |
Betterscan's scanning, adaptable to various conditions (async, PR, CI/CD), ensures developers quickly identify new vulnerabilities related to their changes. All vulnerability details are displayed within the pull request. |
A Betterscan customer noted that Snyk significantly disrupted their developers by inundating them with vulnerabilities, leading them to consider Betterscan as a better alternative. |
GHAS is easy to set up but requires developers to check results in a backlog, diverting them from their pull requests and making it challenging to locate relevant findings. |
Challenging to set up and maintain. Building Docker images and connecting repositories took hours. |
Speed of Onboarding |
Installation via CLI, platform, or CI/CD is streamlined, requiring only a single command or click. |
"Deploying Snyk took our team months, yielding mixed results." |
Effortlessly easy through a unified experience provided by the vendor. |
Notably slow. |
Variety of Tools |
Offers thousands of checks across a wide array of tools. Supports any tool that outputs JSON. Easy to set up, no software installation required, and compatible with numerous programming languages. |
Snyk provides comprehensive code security controls including SAST, SCA, Container Scanning, and IaC security. |
GHAS includes SAST, SCA, and a Secrets Scanner in its feature set. |
Utilizes SonarQube's proprietary technology alongside some open-source tools. |
Centralized In-PR DevEx |
Features the option to install a GitHub action for sending In-PR reviews for all checks. |
Requires users to operate within the Snyk UI to access vulnerability information and initiate in-PR remediation code, potentially disrupting the coding flow. |
For SCA, there is no in-PR scanning experience. While SAST and secrets detection have in-PR scanning, users must review findings separately, potentially disrupting workflow. |
SonarQube performs well in providing a centralized In-PR experience. |
SAST Accuracy |
According to our SAST benchmarking, Betterscan outperforms other solutions in almost all evaluated languages, utilizing advanced tools for SAST. |
Fewer findings, faster analysis, but with more noise and less accuracy. |
Slower analysis, not compatible with all tech stacks. |
Yields fewer findings compared to competitors. |
