How TigerGate Works

TigerGate provides complete security coverage from code to runtime, filling the gaps that Snyk leaves behind

1. Code & Container Scanning

Like Snyk, we scan your code and containers for vulnerabilities. But we go further with DAST, API testing, and AI security scanning.

2. Cloud Security (CSPM)

Unlike Snyk, TigerGate provides comprehensive multi-cloud security with 576+ AWS checks, 162+ Azure checks, 79+ GCP checks, and 83+ Kubernetes checks mapped to CIS Benchmarks and compliance frameworks.

3. Runtime Monitoring

TigerGate uses eBPF to monitor your production environments in real-time, detecting zero-days and supply chain attacks that static scanners miss.

The TigerGate Difference

Snyk focuses on pre-deployment security. TigerGate provides end-to-end protection from code commit through production runtime, with automated compliance evidence collection and zero trust enforcement that Snyk cannot match.

  • Scans code, containers, cloud, and runtime
  • Detects vulnerabilities that bypass static analysis
  • Automates compliance evidence collection
  • Integrates with Vanta, Drata, Secureframe

Compliance Automation90%

Snyk: No compliance automation

Flexible Deployment

Deploy on your infrastructure, in your cloud, or use our managed SaaS. Full control over your security platform with no vendor lock-in.

Snyk: Self-hosted available

Better Pricing

Get more capabilities at a lower cost. Start free, scale affordably with transparent per-developer pricing.

Snyk: Complex pricing, per-scan limits
"We migrated from Snyk to TigerGate and immediately gained visibility we never had before. The eBPF runtime monitoring caught a supply chain attack that Snyk's static scanning completely missed. Plus, the cloud security and compliance automation saved us months of audit prep work."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about switching from Snyk to TigerGate

Yes. TigerGate covers all of Snyk's capabilities (SAST, SCA, container security) while adding runtime monitoring, cloud security, DAST, API testing, AI security, and compliance automation. You can completely replace Snyk with TigerGate and gain additional security coverage.
TigerGate uses Semgrep for SAST (same engine as many enterprise tools) and OSV for SCA, providing comparable or better vulnerability detection than Snyk. We also add secrets scanning, IaC scanning, and DAST—capabilities Snyk doesn't offer.
Yes, TigerGate supports 30+ languages including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, PHP, C#, and more. We support all major package managers (npm, pip, Maven, Go modules, etc.).
TigerGate is significantly more affordable. Snyk charges per developer with per-scan limits and upsells for each additional feature. TigerGate offers transparent pricing starting at $29/developer/month with unlimited scans, runtime monitoring, cloud security, and compliance automation included.
Yes. TigerGate can import vulnerability findings from Snyk or run fresh scans on your repositories. Our migration tool helps you transition smoothly with no downtime.
TigerGate adds: (1) eBPF runtime monitoring for production threat detection, (2) Multi-cloud CSPM with 576+ checks, (3) DAST and API security testing, (4) AI/LLM security scanning, (5) Compliance automation for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, (6) Open source transparency, (7) Vanta/Drata integration.
Yes. TigerGate offers flexible deployment options including self-hosted, on-premise, or managed cloud. You can deploy on your infrastructure for complete data sovereignty and meet strict compliance requirements. Both TigerGate and Snyk offer self-hosted options.
You can start scanning code repositories in under 5 minutes. Cloud security setup takes 10-15 minutes. Runtime monitoring (eBPF agent) deploys via Helm chart or kubectl in under 10 minutes. Full migration from Snyk typically takes 1-2 hours.
