GreenKeeper vs Snyk: What are the differences?
Developers describe GreenKeeper as "Get safety & consistency with automatic updates and real-time monitoring for npm dependencies". Real-time monitoring for npm dependencies. Let a bot send you informative and actionable issues so you can easily keep your software up to date and in working condition. 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.
GreenKeeper and Snyk can be categorized as "Dependency Monitoring" tools.
GreenKeeper is an open source tool with 1.43K GitHub stars and 102 GitHub forks. Here's a link to GreenKeeper's open source repository on GitHub.
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.
