Caret vs Snyk: What are the differences?
Developers describe Caret as "Better Markdown Editor for Mac / Windows / Linux". Better Markdown Editor for Mac / Windows / Linux. On the other hand, Snyk is detailed as "Fix vulnerabilities in Node & npm dependencies with a click". Fix vulnerabilities in Node & npm dependencies with a click.
Caret belongs to "Markdown Editors" category of the tech stack, while Snyk can be primarily classified under "Dependency Monitoring".
I'm beginning to research the right way to better integrate how we achieve SCA / shift-left / SecureDevOps / secure software supply chain. If you use or have evaluated WhiteSource, Snyk, Sonatype Nexus, SonarQube or similar, I would very much appreciate your perspective on strengths and weaknesses and how you selected your ultimate solution. I want to integrate with GitLab CI.
I'd recommend Snyk since it provides an IDE extension for Developers, SAST, auto PR security fixes, container, IaC and includes open source scanning as well. I like their scoring method as well for better prioritization. I was able to remove most of the containers and cli tools I had in my pipelines since Snyk covers secrets, vulns, security and some code cleaning. SAST has false positives but the scoring helps. Also had to spend time putting some training docs but their engineers helped out with content.
