Why choose Oryon over Snyk Code
Keep analysis alongside your code: local detection, help understanding the risk and shared results from the editor to CI and the platform.
Why choose Oryon
-
Analysis starts on your machine.
Local SAST, code, dependencies and configuration in your editor workflow. You control connected features and AI assistance, according to your plan.
-
From the editor to every delivery.
The engine ships with the extension. Connect code analysis, dependencies and CI integrations with your team's platform in one workflow.
-
One review the whole team can reuse.
Shared suppressions, history, scan comparisons, CSV exports and PDF reports. Detection becomes ongoing work your team can track.
Capabilities, side by side.
| What you need | Snyk Code | |
|---|---|---|
| Editor integration | Documented Scan as you edit or save, or start a file or repository scan; configure profiles and exclusions. | Documented Snyk plugins ↗ |
| Static code analysis | Documented Static analysis of code, secrets, infrastructure, pipelines and AI/MCP security. Combines patterns with data tracking within each file. Profiles and exclusions adapt the scan to the repository. | Documented Snyk Code ↗ |
| Dependencies | Documented Extends the inventory of packages and their relationships from the repository, including Maven projects. Automatically attempted in the extension and CI; native analyzers provide a fallback when it is unavailable. | Another suite product Snyk Open Source ↗ |
| Secrets | Documented Static analysis of code, secrets, infrastructure, pipelines and AI/MCP security. Combines patterns with data tracking within each file. Profiles and exclusions adapt the scan to the repository. | Another suite product Snyk Secrets; Code also detects hardcoded credentials ↗ |
| CI integration | Documented Run the same analysis core from GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines, with OIDC and a project token. | Documented Snyk Code CLI / CI ↗ |
| AI-assisted fixes | Optional / plan dependent Explains causes, risk and impact and proposes changes, diffs, effort and verification checks. Available according to plan and configuration; the user reviews and applies the proposal in the editor. | Optional / plan dependent Snyk Agent Fix, plan and activation dependent ↗ |
| SAST without SaaS code upload | Documented OpenGrep bundled with the extension; local SAST works offline once the engine is extracted. AI and sync use the network. | Optional / plan dependent Local Engine for existing contracts is deprecated; the standard service processes code in the cloud. ↗ |
| Infrastructure & configuration | Documented Rules for Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD and configuration; coverage depends on format and rule. | Another suite product Snyk IaC is a separate product from Snyk Code. ↗ |
| Profiles & exclusions | Documented production_security/full profiles, path inclusion and exclusion, and .gitignore support. | Documented Ignores and security policies; group policies depend on plan. ↗ |
| Selective MDN compatibility | Documented Selective MDN assessment: String.replaceAll against configured browsers. Other warnings require validation; this is not a general browser compatibility audit. | Not documented in this scope No MDN compatibility assessment documented in Snyk Code. ↗ |
| Shared triage decisions | Documented Project-level shared false-positive suppressions, with restoration from the extension and dashboard. | Documented Consistent Ignores applies across IDE, CLI, branches and linked projects. ↗ |
| History & reporting | Documented History, comparisons, audit PDF and JSON/CSV exports. The advanced AI report depends on the plan. | Documented Results and JSON/SARIF export from the CLI. ↗ |
