Who it's for
Best for teams for which dependency risk is the main problem and fixes matter as much as alerts.
Ignite is positioned for organizations with fewer than 50 developers; Enterprise for large organizations.
A good fit if
- You want fix and upgrade pull requests with a breakage-risk estimate
- You want code, dependency, container, IaC, secrets and DAST scanning in one model
- You need auditor-ready compliance reports such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and OWASP Top 10
Consider alternatives if
- You need API access or SSO on the Team plan
- You need code quality metrics such as complexity, duplication or coverage
- You need SAST that runs entirely on-premises
