• Very deep SAST analysis with wide language coverage including legacy enterprise languages.
• One platform and one risk view across every scan type.
• Strong compliance and audit reporting.

• Binary scanning works on third-party and supplier software where source is unavailable.
• Policy engine and attestation reports satisfy regulated procurement directly.
• Managed service model suits organisations without a security engineering team.

• Expensive, with a long procurement and deployment cycle.
• High false-positive volume typical of deep SAST; tuning is a project.
• Scans are slow relative to developer-first tools.

• Slow feedback compared with developer-first tools — poor fit for per-commit scanning.
• Expensive per application.
• Developer experience lags Snyk and Semgrep considerably.
