DevGuard vs JFrog Artifactory

DevGuard is an open-source developer security platform focused on hardening the software supply chain. It monitors deployed software for newly disclosed vulnerabilities and can create issues when new CVEs affect software. Risk scoring and exploit probability analysis help prioritize findings, while VEX assessment sharing supports review of potential false positives. The platform connects with GitHub and GitLab repositories, CI pipelines, and issue trackers, and can ingest SBOM, VEX, and SARIF inputs from compatible tools. Its scanner CLI supports software composition analysis, static application security testing, and signing attestations. A dependency firewall checks npm, Go, PyPI, and container image requests against a malicious package database and blocks known-bad releases. DevGuard also supports SBOM management, artifact signing, provenance attestations, and release policy gates. The source code is distributed under AGPL-3.0-or-later. The free self-hosted Open Source plan is for public projects with an OSI-approved license; non-commercial FLOSS projects can get SaaS free. Business SaaS costs €449.10 per month on a one-year contract paid yearly and includes 10 users, managed hosting in Germany, and support.

JFrog Artifactory manages binaries, packages, containers, releases, AI/ML models, and agent assets as a system of record. It supports more than 40 software build package types, including Docker, Maven, and Gradle, and can serve as a Docker and Kubernetes registry for containers and Helm charts. CLI and REST APIs, Open API specifications, and Artifactory Query Language support automation and searches. Artifactory can run as SaaS or self-managed software, with installation options including Helm, Docker, RPM, Debian, Linux archive, and Windows archive. Integrations include GitHub, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Slack, among others. Storage options include S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, and Filestore Sharding; active/active high availability includes live failover and non-disruptive production upgrades. Security controls include granular permissions and external authentication such as LDAP or SAML. The free self-managed Container Registry edition is limited to Docker, OCI, Helm, Helm OCI, and Generic workflows. A 14-day trial is available without a credit card. Pro costs $50 a month, with consumption-based pricing beyond the 25 GB base; self-managed plans start at $27,000 a year.
