Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Snyk yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated Snyk across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Choose Snyk if you want the best developer experience, low friction, and a unified view of open-source risks (SCA) mixed with custom code risks.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · SAST · direct prompt · first choice
“Semgrep Code or Snyk Code. They are incredibly fast, have great PR integration, and are built around developer workflows.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · SAST · scale prompt · first choice
“For Developers: Look for speed and integration into Git/Helm/CI pipelines (e.g., Snyk, Checkov)” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Container security · negative prompt · first choice
“best if you're developer-led / engineer-heavy... If your pain is developers not fixing vulns → Snyk” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Container security · direct prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Avoid Snyk if you have strict rate limits on Docker Hub or are sensitive to high false-positive rates.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Container security · negative prompt · hard negative
“Avoid if you need enterprise-scale cloud config scanning over app-sec focus.” Grok 4.1 Fast · CSPM · negative prompt · hard negative
“third-party platforms like Snyk or Cloudaware may be worth the investment. However, for most small businesses, starting with native tools and open-source solutions is the most cost-effective” Mistral Small · CSPM · budget prompt · soft negative
“Snyk does not offer deep runtime security monitoring, active threat blockages, or cluster posture management.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Container security · comparative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Snyk. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 107 of the 151 answers that named Snyk and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Snyk's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Snyk, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at snyk.io is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
