• 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.

• Reachability analysis dramatically cuts the noise from transitive dependency alerts.
• Automated fix pull requests make remediation a merge rather than a project.
• One vendor covers dependencies, code, containers and IaC.

• 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.

• Per-developer pricing scales uncomfortably in large engineering organisations.
• SAST is less deep than dedicated code-analysis vendors.
• Still produces substantial alert volume on older codebases.

Large enterprises with a security function and regulatory obligations.

Engineering teams that want security findings arriving in the pull request with a fix attached.
