Feature checklists rarely decide anything. What decides it is the pricing metric, who has to write the tests, and which limitation you can live with.

Strengths
- Proof-based scanning eliminates most false-positive triage, which is the main cost of DAST.
- Handles authenticated scanning of modern JavaScript applications well.
- Good asset discovery for organisations that do not know all their own sites.
- 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.
Limitations
- Expensive relative to free DAST alternatives.
- Scans take time and are not suited to per-commit feedback.
- Dynamic testing alone cannot find everything a code review would.
- Slow feedback compared with developer-first tools — poor fit for per-commit scanning.
- Expensive per application.
- Developer experience lags Snyk and Semgrep considerably.
Best for
Organisations with many web applications and no capacity to triage scanner noise.
Regulated enterprises needing formal security attestation, including for supplier software.
All of these integrate with: Jira, GitHub, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow.
