How ScanDog works
Orchestrate
Seamlessly connect pipelines, ticketing, and messaging tools. Configure contextual parameters per product or repository. Shift left with our InApp scanner deployment; auto‑combining configs and scheduling scans on every PR or custom schedule.
Detect
Ensure complete security coverage with more than 15 open source and commercial scanners. Visualise application health and coverage with clarity and confidence with our intuitive design. Keep track of supply chain threats and license.
Consolidate
Cut through the noise and focus only on real threats. We automatically deduplicate and prioritise high-priority vulnerabilities based on context (Open Intelligence, reachability analysis, exploitability analysis and business impact).
Detection & Coverage
Get enterprise-grade SAST, DAST, and SCA capabilities without expensive enterprise tiers or hidden fees.
SAST
ScanDog detects vulnerabilities in source code using static analysis tools. Includes reachability analysis to identify exploitable paths and provides AI-assisted remediation suggestions.
SCA
Performs software composition analysis to find vulnerabilities and license compliance issues in open-source dependencies. Includes reachability analysis to prioritize risks in components the application actually uses.
Remediation & Intelligence
AI-powered remediation and enterprise-grade insights with transparent pricing and modern architecture.
AI Fix
Offers AI-powered remediation suggestions for vulnerabilities with flexible integration across multiple AI platforms including OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini. Unlike Checkmarx's single-vendor approach (OpenAI only), ScanDog's multi-model support allows you to choose the best AI for your needs or even integrate your own custom AI models.
Why Devs Pick ScanDog Over Checkmarx?
Significant Cost Difference
A primary differentiator is the pricing structure. A 50-user license for ScanDog Pro is approximately €11,400 per year. In contrast, a comparable plan for Checkmarx One is estimated to start at $59,000 and can exceed $75,000 annually. This price difference allows organizations to access core application security capabilities, including SAST, DAST, and software composition analysis, at a substantially lower cost.
Unified Platform vs. Tiered Features
ScanDog provides a comprehensive suite of tools in its standard offering. Critical capabilities like dynamic application security testing tool (DAST), API security, and container security are integrated into the core platform. This contrasts with Checkmarx's tiered model, where these same features are frequently packaged in more expensive "Advanced" or "Premium" plans, requiring additional investment for full platform functionality.
AI Fixes
The platforms approach AI-driven code remediation differently. ScanDog provides flexible AI integration with support for multiple AI platforms including OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini, giving you the freedom to choose the best model for your use case or even integrate your own custom AI. Checkmarx's AI remediation is limited to OpenAI integration and is only available for IAST functionality within the premium tier.
Developer-Centric Workflow Integration
ScanDog is designed for direct integration into the security software development life cycle (SDLC). Its features emphasize automation within CI/CD pipelines and provide workflows that enable developers and security auditors to manage remediation directly. This approach focuses on minimizing friction in fast-paced development environments, a contrast to the more centralized, enterprise-focused operational model traditionally associated with some legacy static analysis tools.

"ScanDog is an amazing tool. A one-stop shop that gives DevSecOps all the weapons to tackle different scenarios. It's not easy to bring everything together and build a tool that is so well organized. Five on five stars!"
Raghunath Deshpande
Head of AppSec @ SAP
"Having no in-house security expert, we were overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information. ScanDog helped us feel confident about our app security posture."
Cherif Zouein
CEO @ Decimal Studios
"ScanDog's automated approach has reduced our security review time by 80%. We can now focus on building features instead of fixing vulnerabilities."
