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 comprehensive security testing that goes beyond Semgrep's static analysis limitations.
DAST
Finds vulnerabilities in running applications that static analysis cannot see. ScanDog provides this as a core feature. Semgrep does not offer DAST capabilities.
SAST
Analyzes source code to find security flaws. This is a core strength of both platforms. Semgrep is a specialized SAST engine, while ScanDog integrates SAST as one component of its broader security platform.
IaC Scanning
Offers a dedicated module for scanning IaC files (e.g., Terraform, Kubernetes) for misconfigurations, whilst Semgrep can scan IaC files using its static analysis engine and custom rules, but it is not a dedicated, out-of-the-box IaC security product.
Remediation & Intelligence
AI-powered remediation and enterprise-grade insights that work across your entire security stack.
AI Fix
Provides AI-generated code suggestions to fix vulnerabilities across all supported scan types (SAST, SCA, IaC, etc,…), whilst Semgrep Offers an AI auto-fix feature that is focused on remediating findings from its own SAST engine.
Why Devs Pick ScanDog Over Semgrep?
Broader Security Testing Capabilities
ScanDog is an application security platform offering multiple testing types. Semgrep is a specialized static analysis (SAST) tool. ScanDog includes native Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and Container Image Scanning, which Semgrep does not.
More Comprehensive AI-Powered Remediation
ScanDog’s AI-Fix generates code suggestions for vulnerabilities detected across SAST, Software Composition Analysis (SCA), and IaC scans. Semgrep's AI auto-fix feature is limited to findings from its SAST engine.
Scanner Orchestration vs. a Single Engine
ScanDog is built for flexibility. Our platform allows you to orchestrate multiple open-source and commercial scanners in one solution. Unlike Semgrep's proprietary engine, ScanDog gives you the freedom to use the best SAST tools and scanners for the job, deduplicating findings and centralizing policies for a more efficient shift left testing workflow.
Enterprise-Grade Insights for Half the Cost
ScanDog delivers more value at a significantly lower cost. For 50 users, ScanDog's cost is €11,400/year, while Semgrep's is €22,800/year. Additionally, ScanDog includes built-in features for tracking Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR) and advanced vulnerability prioritization (EPSS, KEV, reachability), which are not standard features in the Semgrep platform.

"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."
