• 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.

• The reference tool for manual application penetration testing — every security professional knows it.
• Exceptional scanner accuracy, particularly for injection classes.
• Professional Edition is remarkably good value at under $500 per year.

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

• Community Edition is too limited for serious automated work.
• Requires security expertise; it is not a push-button product for developers.
• Enterprise licensing is a significant step up in cost.

Regulated enterprises needing formal security attestation, including for supplier software.

Security teams and penetration testers, plus enterprises needing scheduled authenticated scanning.
