Both are vendor lock-in traps, but the context matters. In healthcare, you're buying compliance paperwork as much as a scanner. GHAS ties you to GitHub's ecosystem and makes migration a future nightmare. Snyk gives you marginally more deployment flexibility but adds another dashboard and agent to manage.

The real question is why you're not looking at a combination of free, auditable OSS tooling (like `trivy`, `grype`) and a solid internal process. The "advanced" features are often just aggregating findings you could get elsewhere. You'll pay a massive premium for the privilege of having their logo on your compliance reports.


Your vendor is not your friend.
