Developer UX in GitHub: Detect and Resolve Issues in the PR
Scanning + auto remediation for all code scanners. Includes runtime context for detected issues
Only for SAST and SCA, no runtime context
"Snyk created a lot of friction with our developers, flooding them with vulnerabilities and slowing them down, which was the initial reason we were looking at Jit." - New Jit customer

Developer UX in GitLab: Detect and Resolve Issues in the PR
For SAST, SCA, secrets detection, IaC and OSS Licenses
No developer UX integrated into GitLab
Contextual Prioritization
Use runtime context to focus on the issues that introduce real risk
Supported, but costs extra
Fast onboarding across code repos, cloud resources, web apps and APIs
One-click activation across code scanners
"It took our team six months to deploy Snyk, and even then, we couldn't get it to full coverage." - New Jit customer
Maintain full coverage as you scale
Automatically scan new repos as they’re created
New repos must be manually added to Snyk as they’re added
Auto Remediation
For issues detected by SAST, SCA, IaC scanning and CSPM
For issues detected by SAST and SCA
Team-based Reporting
Jit Teams provides a dedicated security portal for each dev team by mapping service ownership to teams
Requires filtering for team-based views
Align security with business objectives
Security Plans group scanners to fulfill specific use cases
Basic compliance reporting
Code isn’t pulled to the cloud for analysis to minimize IP security risk
All scans run locally in the customer’s GitHub or GitLab environment
Snyk pulls code to their cloud for analysis
Responsible and affordable customer support
No cost 24/5 Customer Support, implementation guidance, developer training, a dedicated Slack channel & ad hoc guidance.
Tiered Customer Support and Professional Services that cost extra as support SLAs improve.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) comparison
A reputable third-party security research firm (codsec.io) conducted a performance benchmark between Jit SAST (leveraging Semgrep OSS with Jit custom rules) and Snyk Code.
