What believers are saying

  • Increased demand for integrated security solutions in CI/CD pipelines boosts Semgrep's market relevance.

What critics are saying

  • Increased competition from Snyk and GitHub's CodeQL could impact Semgrep's market position.
  • Over-reliance on funding rounds may lead to financial instability if future rounds falter.
  • Rapid technological changes in cybersecurity could render Semgrep's tools obsolete without innovation.

  • The tool integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, enhancing SDLC processes for engineering teams.
  • Semgrep's average scan time is under 5 minutes, with a median CI scan time of 10 seconds.
