JIT + Semgrep (SAST) vs. Snyk SAST

Solution

Jit + Semgrep

Snyk

Consolidated Product Security Dashboard

Jit’s dashboard provides full security visibility with in-context scanning results powered by Semgrep. With this single-pane-of-glass view, alongside dozens of other security tools providing full coverage for your entire stack: AppSec-CI/CD-Cloud-DAST.

Snyk's platform has multiple controls (homegrown and acquired) that are still in integration process and are priced separately. It offers 100 free scans each month.

The Product security stack is simply just too broad

Jit benchmarks and orchestrates best-in-class OSS and cloud-native security tools (like Semgrep). As new security tools or new versions are introduced, Jit’s research team automatically adds them to the platform, and they become instantly available for usage.

Snyk’s solution is limited to their limited resources available for investing in buying or building new products, while Jit supports tools from dozens of vendors.

Speed of onboarding

Jit ensures frictionless integration of Semgrep alongside dozens of other security tools into the SDLC in a matter of minutes. Once live, you can deploy, manage, and monitor your SAST program at scale.

Onboarding multiple Snyk products could take months until full coverage. To complete full stack product security coverage, there's a need to add non-Snyk products.

Unified & efficient Developer experience

The Jit developer-first approach unifies all security tools into a single native dev experience with in-context, in-PR findings and remediations.

Snyk takes developers out of the context of their native environment, into Snyk’s cloud, and often overwhelms them with vulnerabilities

Risk factors

Jit runs all AppSec and IaC scanners (including Semgrep SAST for Javascript, Typescript, Java, and Scala) in your GitHub environment, which reduces risk.

Snyk pulls your source code and increases your attack surface by uploading it to their cloud.

Language

Jit + Semgrep

Snyk

Javascript and Typescript

3 Javascript and Typescript projects were tested. Semgrep successfully found 47 vulnerabilities, including XSS, SQL injection, and SSRF. Semgrep's checks ran significantly faster than Snyk’s.

Snyk detected only 24 results, of which 11 were not exploitable and therefore, unnecessary noise. Snyk elevates the real risk of some vulnerabilities to ‘High’ unnecessarily, and there are file size limits for Snyk Code analysis

Python

Semgrep detected 114 vulnerabilities across 5 projects with higher efficacy - more true positives and fewer false positives. Amongst the results, Semgrep found 48 SQL injections where Snyk found only 2.

In the same test, Snyk found only 29 results and offered lower coverage and less accuracy.

Scala

Jit + Semgrep detected 15 SQL injection vulnerabilities across 3 different Scala projects in our security control test

In the same test, Snyk found no results. Snyk’s Scala support is still in the limited beta stage, with no public rules available and multiple configuration issues.
