SentriKat vs. Snyk
Snyk is the reference tool for developer-centric code and dependency scanning. SentriKat covers a broader surface — endpoints, containers, OS, dependencies — with compliance reporting built for European regulation. The two often coexist.

When each one fits
Choose Snyk when most of your risk surface is in-house application code, and you want inline developer feedback at commit time. Snyk Code's SAST and its IDE plug-ins are genuinely excellent. It's the natural fit for a team whose job is to ship secure code.
Choose SentriKat when you also need to track endpoints, OS patches, container images in production, and generate signed NIS2 / DORA / BOD 22-01 reports for a regulator. SentriKat is sold as a vulnerability-management platform, not a developer productivity tool — the buyer is usually security, not engineering.
Many teams run both: Snyk inside CI for code and dependency gating, SentriKat across the endpoint fleet and for compliance reporting. The two product categories overlap on SCA, but the overlap is cheap relative to the cost of gaps.
