How ScanDog works

1

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.

2

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.

3

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).

4

Remediate

Fix better and faster with AI. Increase AI fix precision with our security knowledge layer or generate a set by step remediation guide. Cut manual work to near zero with automation. Stay on top of fixes in real time with our remediation dashboard.

Detection & Coverage

Get comprehensive SAST, DAST, SCA, and container security in one unified platform without expensive enterprise add-ons.

SAST

Advanced static analysis with reachability analysis and AI-powered fixes for secure code development.

Explore SAST

SCA

Identifies known vulnerabilities (CVEs) and potential open source license compliance issues within third-party and open-source dependencies. Both ScanDog and Mend offer SCA as a core feature of their platforms.

Explore SCA

DAST

Finds runtime vulnerabilities in actively running web applications. This functionality is an integrated part of ScanDog's platform. For Mend, DAST is available as a separate, paid add-on to their core offerings.

Explore DAST

Software Bill of Materials

Generates a formal inventory of all software components, dependencies, and their licenses. As an essential sbom tool for supply chain security, this functionality is a component of the SCA capabilities in both ScanDog and Mend.

Remediation & Intelligence

AI-powered insights, automated workflows, and enterprise-grade orchestration with transparent, developer-friendly pricing.

AI Fix

Provides AI-generated code suggestions to assist developers in fixing identified vulnerabilities. ScanDog includes this functionality in its offering. Mend also provides AI-generated fixes; their model includes basic suggestions in the standard plan, but more advanced AI capabilities reserved for a premium tier.

Scanner Deployment Engine

ScanDog's platform can integrate and orchestrate results from various third-party open-source and commercial scanners, presenting findings in a unified view. Mend’s platform operates using its proprietary scanning technology.

Remediation Dashboard

ScanDog provides a centralized dashboard to track, manage, and measure the remediation progress of all identified vulnerabilities from a single interface. Mend does not offer a comparable, dedicated remediation center.

Why Devs Pick ScanDog Over Mend?

Flexible and Affordable Pricing

Mend locks you into a high-cost, flat-rate model at over €83 per developer per month. ScanDog offers a free tier to get started and a Pro plan at just €19/user/month. You get enterprise-grade application security without the enterprise price tag, allowing your team to scale without breaking the budget.

Comprehensive Security Out of the Box

ScanDog provides a complete vulnerability assessment toolkit from day one. Unlike Mend, which charges extra for DAST and completely lacks IaC scanning, our platform includes SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC, and Container Scanning by default. Stop paying for add-ons and get the full picture of your SDLC security.

A True Developer-First Experience

We built ScanDog for the teams that build the code. With a rapid 2-hour setup, seamless CI/CD integrations, and actionable alerts in Slack or Teams, we reduce security review time by 80%. Mend's platform is powerful but often requires dedicated security team oversight, slowing developers down.

Unified and Open Ecosystem

Don't get stuck in a walled garden. Mend limits you to its proprietary scanners. ScanDog's Scanner Deployment Engine lets you orchestrate the tools you already use, like Semgrep and Trivy, alongside our native scanners. This provides a single, deduplicated view of all findings, tailored to your existing workflow.

What is the main difference between ScanDog and Mend?

Pricing Model: ScanDog uses a tiered model that includes a free plan and a per-user monthly subscription. Mend offers a single flat-rate plan based on a per-developer annual license. Feature Set: ScanDog's standard platform includes SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC scanning, and container scanning. Mend's platform includes SAST, SCA, and container scanning, with DAST available as a paid add-on. Mend does not offer IaC scanning. Ecosystem: ScanDog can orchestrate third-party and open-source scanners. Mend operates using its proprietary scanning technology.

How does ScanDog's pricing compare to Mend's enterprise model?

ScanDog is significantly more affordable. Our Pro plan is around €19/user/month, whereas Mend's starts at approximately $1,000/dev/year (or ~ $83/dev/month). This makes ScanDog a more accessible and scalable solution for teams of all sizes.

Does ScanDog offer better security coverage than Mend?

Yes, out of the box. ScanDog includes SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC scanning, container scanning, and secret scanning in its core platform. Mend lacks native IaC scanning and treats DAST as a paid add-on, meaning you get a more complete application security testing software solution with ScanDog from the start.

How does ScanDog improve the SDLC security workflow?

ScanDog integrates seamlessly into developer workflows with fast scans, CI/CD pipeline gates, and AI-powered fixes. By providing quick, actionable feedback directly in tools like GitHub and Slack, we empower developers to fix issues early, reducing AppSec debt by up to 95%.

Can I manage my license for open source software compliance with ScanDog?

Absolutely. Our software composition analysis (SCA) tool not only detects vulnerabilities in open-source dependencies but also helps you manage and enforce policies related to your open source license obligations, ensuring you remain compliant.

What is the process for migrating from Mend to ScanDog?

ScanDog provides an automated onboarding process that connects to code repositories and CI/CD tools. The company states that this process allows teams to configure their projects and run initial scans in under two hours.
