Xygeni

Xygeni is an application security platform that brings software-supply-chain checks into development workflows. It suits developer, DevOps, DevSecOps, and security teams seeking local scanning with a choice about where findings are stored. The strongest case is broad coverage paired with control over source-code handling; the main constraint is that the free tier caps both contributors and scanning.

Overview

The Xygeni Scanner analyzes directories, repositories, container images, and SCM organizations from within the customer’s network. Source code stays local, while protected results can be uploaded to a cloud dashboard or kept locally. That is a useful distinction for organizations that want to avoid sending source code to a scanning service, although teams retaining results locally must incorporate them into their own workflow.

Deployment is hybrid, with local scanning and optional cloud-dashboard use. The product also offers an API and an extension, alongside Linux, macOS, Windows, and web support.

Key features

Coverage combines SAST, software composition analysis, secrets detection, and checks for CI/CD configuration. Secrets Security detects more than 100 types of secrets and can block commits through Git hooks, helping teams catch credentials before they become part of shared code. Scanning configuration files, build scripts, and CI job definitions addresses supply-chain misconfigurations in the build process.

Automated compliance audits include OpenSSF Scorecard and CIS Software Supply Chain Security. Xygeni also supports SBOM generation, reachability analysis, and pull-request scanning. Supported ecosystems include Maven, Gradle, npm, Yarn, Bower,.NET, Go, Python/Pip, PHP/Composer, Ruby, and Dart/Flutter.

Integrations include GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, Jenkins, Slack, Jira, and GitHub ticketing. SAML2 single sign-on supports third-party identity providers. The REST API covers security issues, project risk summaries, trends, report generation, and administration, giving teams options to connect findings and reporting to other workflows.

Pricing

Xygeni uses a freemium model and offers a free trial. The Free plan costs nothing and allows 5 contributors, up to 10 repositories, and 200 scans per month. It includes SAST, SCA, Secrets Security, and the IDE plugin. Those caps make it a credible starting point for a small team, but a 200-scan monthly allowance may become restrictive as repositories and development activity grow.

Team has custom pricing, billed $2.160 billed annually. It raises the allowance to 100 repositories and unlimited scans, and adds AI SAST autofix, IaC and CI/CD security, container images, and SDLC Inventory. It fits teams that need more scanning capacity and broader build and infrastructure coverage than Free provides.

Business also has custom pricing, billed $2.160 billed annually. It supports up to 300 repositories and unlimited scans, adding real-time OSS malware detection, malicious command detection, and SSCS Compliance. This is the more suitable step for organizations that need those additional protections and compliance capabilities.

Enterprise has custom pricing and adds ASPM third-party data ingestion, DAST, API Security, anomaly detection, Build Security, on-premise deployment, and configuration flexibility. It is aimed at organizations needing these broader security and deployment options rather than a fixed small-team package. The listed plan details do not give contributor limits for the paid tiers.

Platforms

Xygeni supports API, extension, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows environments. Its local scanner and hybrid deployment suit teams that want scanning inside their network, while optional cloud-dashboard use provides another way to handle findings.

Who it's for

Xygeni is a strong fit for development and security groups that want dependency, code, secrets, and pipeline checks in one platform, particularly when source code must remain within their network. Free suits a small team able to work within five contributors, ten repositories, and 200 monthly scans. Teams that need unlimited scans, more repositories, or advanced malware, compliance, application, or deployment capabilities should compare the paid tiers against their requirements. It is less compelling for teams seeking only a narrow scanner rather than a broader application-security platform.

Pros and cons

Local scanning keeps source code in the customer’s network: protected findings can be uploaded or retained locally, giving teams a choice about result handling.

Coverage reaches across code and delivery workflows: SAST, SCA, secrets, CI/CD checks, audits, SBOM generation, reachability analysis, and pull-request scanning address different stages of software development.

Free has clear capacity limits: five contributors, ten repositories, and 200 scans per month can be too restrictive for growing teams.

Paid-plan prices are custom: the tier descriptions distinguish capabilities and repository limits, but do not provide a price for budgeting comparisons.

Alternatives

For a broader software composition analysis software comparison, consider the category list. Choose Sonatype Nexus Repository if its Community Edition’s full ecosystem support, CI/CD integration, and external PostgreSQL option better match your needs. DepWarden is an alternative with a free report-only scanner that requires no account or API key, but cannot fail a build. Safety CLI may fit a developer seeking a free, one-developer and one-codebase plan with 100 scans per month, subject to its non-commercial-use restriction.

ScanCode.io is a free, Apache-2.0 option that runs as a Docker container or on a Linux server. Choose Snyk Open Source for its focused SCA offering, with a free plan covering five projects. Docker Desktop is the more relevant choice when the need is its Docker tooling, including Docker Engine and Kubernetes in Personal. Retire.js offers a free open-source scanner and related tools. Socket is another freemium option, with a Team plan priced at $25 a month per developer and a five-developer minimum.

Verdict

Choose Xygeni if your team wants supply-chain and application-security checks across code, secrets, dependencies, and build workflows while keeping source code in its own network. Its combination of local scanning, broad coverage, and optional cloud findings makes it a convincing fit for development and security teams. Look elsewhere if the free plan’s contributor, repository, or scan caps are too small, or if you need a clearly priced paid tier before evaluating a broader platform.
