Veracode is a legacy security tool for auditing code after it’s been compiled and adds tickets to the security backlog for developers to investigate. Snyk modernizes AppSec by automating security in the tools and workflows developers use while also providing the essential visibility, governance, and reporting that security teams need.
Your security team is outnumbered by developers. Snyk’s real-time vulnerability scanning and automated fix suggestions in the IDE and PR workflows ensure security from the start at speed and scale.
Snyk shifts security directly into the IDE with real-time vulnerability scanning so developers can fix on the fly to reduce risk.
Snyk scans code in-line as developers write and commit it, breaking free of the lengthy scan times and complex compile and upload requirements of Veracode.
Snyk provides auto fixes and fix guidance within developer workflows so developers can choose a fix that works in the context of their whole application and apply it with a click.
Features | Snyk | Veracode |
|---|---|---|
IDE integrations | 12 IDEs + Build your own Snyk meets developers in the IDE and PR workflows where they already work. Offering full SAST scanning capabilities. | 4 IDEs Veracode Greenlight is limited to 4 IDE’s and has limited support for small files and packages only. |
Container coverage | Yes Snyk Container provides actionable remediation advice and one-click fix for both commodity and curated base image workflows, rather than just a list of vulnerabilities. | No Veracode has limited container coverage, leaving customers blind to vulns/issues within their containers. |
Real-time scanning | Yes Snyk scans your code fast as it’s being written – averaging speeds 2.4x faster than similar solutions and increasing developer utilization of scans. | No Veracode requires you to fully compile your code before you can run security scans in the context of your whole application. |
Advanced AI | Yes DeepCode AI is a security-specific, hybrid AI and ML engine trained and updated by Snyk security researchers. | No Veracode relies on a GPT-based AI model to suggest code fixes. |
Snyk empowers developers to fix security issues with real-time scanning based on the context of their full application and policies and rules set by security teams to achieve shift-left maturity.
Snyk adds security directly into IDEs with real-time vulnerability scanning and provides actionable fix advice in-line so developers can fix issues quickly and move on. 82.7% of Snyk customers surveyed reported improvements in their developer processes vs. before implementing Snyk.
Whereas Veracode has limited container coverage, Snyk secures your entire application stack including code, open source libraries, containers, and infrastructure as code.
Reduce application risk at scale, with complete application discovery, tailored security controls, and risk-based prioritization.

Millions of developers build securely with Snyk
"I was really happy to have containers scanning before runtime production. People weren’t paying attention to the vulnerabilities in containers, so it has been eye opening for the organization. It truly increases awareness of those vulnerabilities and enables more automation. It’s more in line with that quality improvement mindset that the engineering teams have in their CI/CD practices."
