Strengths
- 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.
- Live verification cuts false positives to near zero for supported providers.
- Free and easy to add as a pre-commit hook or CI step.
- Scans far beyond git — buckets, images, logs.
Limitations
- Slow feedback compared with developer-first tools — poor fit for per-commit scanning.
- Expensive per application.
- Developer experience lags Snyk and Semgrep considerably.
- No dashboard or workflow in the free CLI.
- Verification requires outbound network calls, which some environments block.
- Full-history scans on large repositories are slow.
