Our take
What our shortlists say about each one.
- Snyk Code
Best for: Teams wanting scanning inside the IDE and pull requests
It earns a place because it scans without a build, in seconds to minutes, so the check fits inside the developer's own loop and not a nightly job. That suits teams of any size where developers own their fixes. If source code privacy is a hard rule for you, ask exactly where your code is processed, since it runs as a cloud service.

- Traceable API Security
Best for: AppSec teams covering APIs from code to runtime
Traceable belongs here if you want API testing in development and runtime protection from one vendor, with the activity data kept for later hunts. It runs in the cloud and is built for microservice and container estates. Since Harness now owns it, ask how the product will develop under its new owner before you sign a long contract.
