Alternatives to ArcherySec

{"intro": "ArcherySec gives developers, penetration testers, and DevOps teams a free, GPL-3.0 vulnerability-management tool that runs web and network scans through connected open-source scanners. It consolidates and deduplicates findings, applies rules-based severity prioritization, tracks false positives, and supports remediation workflows, ticketing synchronization, and policy gates. Authenticated web scanning, Selenium-based application scanning, REST APIs, periodic and concurrent scans, and CI/CD pass-or-fail checks cover common operational needs. Teams can deploy it themselves on Linux, Docker, or Vagrant with Ansible, with Windows setup scripts and access through web and API interfaces.\n\nAlternatives become relevant when you need coverage beyond ArcherySec’s scanner-centered model, different risk context, or less operational dependence on separately run scanners and supplied endpoints. Its self-hosted deployment is available across API, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows, but the project warns against public exposure and recommends restricting signup in production. Compare each option’s testing scope, prioritization method, automation, integrations, deployment approach, and price. A paid platform may add hosted workflows, broader AppSec coverage, runtime or API context, compliance controls, or AI-assisted remediation; an open or free tier may better preserve ArcherySec’s cost model.", "rows": [{"ref": "sw:owasp-defectdojo", "name": "OWASP DefectDojo", "best_for": "Broad scanner aggregation and remediation governance", "pricing": "Free plan; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "DefectDojo integrates 500+ security tools and adds optional EPSS, CISA KEV, governance, and ticketing features beyond ArcherySec.", "choose_when": "Choose it for wider SAST, DAST, SCA, cloud, and container coverage with bi-directional Jira in Community Edition."}, {"ref": "sw:strobes-aspm", "name": "Strobes ASPM", "best_for": "Risk-prioritized AppSec with AI workflow automation", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $29,000/yr", "key_difference": "Strobes adds exploit-context scoring, AI triage, ticket routing, SLA tracking, rescanning, and GraphQL access beyond ArcherySec.", "choose_when": "Choose it when CI/CD blocking, in-PR feedback, and automated handling across 100+ integrations matter more than free self-hosting."}, {"ref": "sw:fluid-attacks", "name": "Fluid Attacks", "best_for": "Lifecycle security with expert testing services", "pricing": "Pricing on request; 21-day trial", "key_difference": "Fluid Attacks combines continuous SAST, SCA, DAST, MAST, CSPM, secrets scanning, expert testing, and GenAI fixes.", "choose_when": "Choose it when you need broad lifecycle testing, expert PTaaS, secure code review, or IDE remediation assistance."}, {"ref": "sw:ox-security", "name": "OX Security", "best_for": "Enterprise code-to-runtime and cloud security", "pricing": "Pricing on request", "key_difference": "OX extends from code to runtime with cloud posture, attack-surface analysis, autonomous AI pentesting, and more than 150 integrations.", "choose_when": "Choose it for enterprise coverage spanning AI coding tools, cloud environments, runtime security, and agentic pentesting."}, {"ref": "sw:vulnetix-resolve", "name": "Vulnetix Resolve", "best_for": "Reachability-aware unified vulnerability queues", "pricing": "Pricing on request", "key_difference": "Vulnetix Resolve normalizes inputs from 200+ tools and prioritizes reachability, deployment, and business context without agents.", "choose_when": "Choose it when a no-infrastructure deployment and shell-based CI/CD CLI fit better than ArcherySec’s self-hosted scanner setup."}, {"ref": "sw:scandog", "name": "ScanDog", "best_for": "Contextual AppSec recommendations with AI fixes", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from €19/user/mo (annual)", "key_difference": "ScanDog adds EPSS, KEV, reachability, business-impact scoring, minimal-diff AI remediation, and narrow code-snippet handling.", "choose_when": "Choose it for broad SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC, secrets, containers, and SBOM coverage with a low-cost paid tier."}, {"ref": "sw:apposture-api-security", "name": "apPosture API Security", "best_for": "API inventory, provenance, and contract drift", "pricing": "From $35/mo (annual)", "key_difference": "apPosture focuses on API endpoint discovery, code-to-runtime provenance, A–F risk scoring, and OpenAPI contract differences.", "choose_when": "Choose it when API shadowing, authentication drift, runtime correlation, or GraphQL and gRPC coverage outweigh general vulnerability management."}]}
