Anchore Enterprise vs Kosli

Anchore Enterprise is an SBOM-powered platform for continuous software supply-chain security and compliance. It generates software bills of materials for containers, source code, and filesystems in Syft, CycloneDX, and SPDX formats, then continuously scans those SBOMs for vulnerabilities, secrets, and malware. Policy packs cover NIST, FedRAMP, and DISA, while policy-as-code rules use JSON instructions that can be version controlled in Git. Runtime inventory can cover images running across EKS, ECS, AKE, GKE, and OpenShift clusters. Deployment options include an AWS machine image or container images installed with Helm on Kubernetes-compatible platforms, including air-gapped environments. Every feature and operation can be instrumented through an API. Integrations include major CI, registry, and cloud services such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Amazon ECR, Azure DevOps, Docker Hub, and Harbor. It supports API, Linux, self-hosted, and web environments. Pricing is on request; there is no free plan, but a free trial is available.

Kosli is a change-recording and compliance-monitoring platform for tracking software and business-process changes. It centralizes attestations, software bills of materials, scans, and build metadata, then links that evidence to a real-time production view. Cryptographic provenance and fingerprints create a tamper-evident chain from commit to production. Policy-as-code controls, automated evidence collection, and notifications address deviations, while runtime monitoring can identify artifacts with unknown provenance and provide time-machine forensics for environment changes. Kosli lists integrations including GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, CircleCI, Jenkins, Microsoft Azure, TeamCity, Terraform, Ansible, Datadog, New Relic, Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, and Email. It supports SaaS, single-tenant AWS hosting, and on-premises Enterprise deployment. The platform runs through API, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows. Pricing is available on request.
