An easy to use and fun to customize SAST tool

  • December 04, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
That the SAST engine returns a very small number of false positives. And the rules are fun to write. I also like the reachability analysis of the supply chain tool so you don't get overwhelmed by false positives
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no export report feature. Moreover it would be useful a toggle to tell the supply chain tool to report all the vulnerable dependencies, regardless of their reachability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping to build secure products by writing more secure code

Just a right way to test and catch your code vulnerability

  • February 20, 2024
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the SAST engine, it is powerful and capable alongwith less % of false positives. Apart from it, the pro and lot other built rules make it easy to integrate with any DevSecOps process.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently the newer offering like SEMGREP AI and secrets manager does not add up perfectly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is catching the essential, critical and tainted in nature vulnerabilities in day to day code making it is good way to follow shift left practices.

Simple yet powerful SAST & SCA

  • November 07, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Easy to integrate in CICD and custom workflows
- CLI configurations are simple
- Powerful scanning capabilities
- Supports many languages
- Reachability analysis is helpful
- Stable and reliable
What do you dislike about the product?
- Doesn't handle unicode chars properly at many places, if there are unicodes in your code then semgrep can crash
- No GUI for OSS version, they should atleast provide a basic GUI for OSS version

Semgrep is helping us identify vulnerabilities at the early stages of the development by continously identifying the vulnerabilities in our codebase and highlighting the vulnerable OSS libraries being used.

  • June 27, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
-Installation is pretty straightforward
-Supports almost all programming languages
-Scans are relatively faster than other static code analysis tool
-In certain cases, I have noticed results/findings from Semgrep were more accurate
What do you dislike about the product?
-There were quite a few false positives as well
-Other tools such as Sonarqube has more features and provides thorough reports
-Troubleshooting can be difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my case, I use Semgrep to find initial bugs in my code and it works almost perfectly in almost all cases and pass on the report to tester to debug more and fix the same issues.

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Semgrep is an easy-to-use and highly customizable static code analysis tool. Its intuitive interface and flexible rules library make running scans on any codebase effortless, big or small. With its active community of contributors and open-source nature, Semgrep is an essential tool for developers looking to enhance code quality and security quickly and efficiently.

A Seamless Static Analysis Tool

  • February 22, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
One of the things that I love most about Semgrep is how easy it is to use. As a static analysis tool, it has a reputation for being intimidating or difficult to integrate into existing workflows. But with Semgrep, developers don't have to worry about that at all. It seamlessly integrates with many popular code editors, version control systems, and continuous integration tools. This means that it's a breeze to set up and start using to detect potential security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and other code quality problems.

But what's really cool about Semgrep is how it feels like a tool that's designed with developers in mind. The pre-built rules are incredibly comprehensive and cover a wide range of potential issues. But if you need to customize them for your project, it's easy to do so. And if you ever get stuck, the community is always there to help you out.

All in all, Semgrep is a powerful tool that can help developers improve the quality of their code. But more importantly, it feels like a tool that was designed to make our lives easier. And who doesn't love that?
What do you dislike about the product?
As with any tool, Semgrep has some potential downsides to consider. Here are a few:

Learning curve: While Semgrep is generally considered to be user-friendly and easy to use, there is still a learning curve to using any new tool. Some developers may need to spend some time getting familiar with Semgrep's syntax and how to write and modify rules.

False positives/negatives: Like any static analysis tool, Semgrep can generate false positives (i.e., flagging code as problematic when it's not) or false negatives (i.e., failing to flag problematic code). This can be frustrating and may require some additional time and effort to sort out.

Resource-intensive: Depending on the size of your codebase, running Semgrep can be resource-intensive and may slow down your development process. It's important to consider this when integrating Semgrep into your workflow and ensure that your hardware and infrastructure can handle it.

Overall, these potential downsides are relatively minor compared to the benefits that Semgrep can provide. However, it's important to consider these factors when deciding whether or not Semgrep is the right tool for your project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that Semgrep is solving is that it can be difficult for developers to manually review code for potential issues. With codebases that are constantly growing and changing, it can be easy to miss potential issues or introduce new ones. Semgrep automates this process and enables developers to quickly identify and address potential issues before they become larger problems.

Semgrep - future of SAST

  • February 22, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
context aware scanning that allows a security engineer to see true metrics on vulnerabilities in the code. Its offering of IaC shows how much context aware it can be with its custom data flows.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's hard to name anything in particular, but the one thing that is challenging is to get onboarded with this. There is definitely a learning curve to get started with writing your own rules.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All things related to code security: putting security guardrails for developers in pre-commit stage, ensuring no secrets are ever committed, keeping our lockfiles with libraries up to date.
