Harness Security Testing Orchestration vs OWASP DefectDojo

Harness Security Testing Orchestration is a cloud, web service for coordinating application security testing. It brings findings together with deduplication, risk-based prioritization and remediation workflows. Policy gates connect security decisions to workflow controls, while ticketing sync links findings with ticketing processes. Harness lists Essentials and Enterprise plans, both billed through Contact Sales, with pricing on request. Essentials allows up to 500 users, one organization and five custom dashboards. Enterprise lists unlimited users, organizations and custom dashboards. A separate Free Plan is listed at free and includes Harness Open Source, Litmus Chaos and community support, although the pricing model is paid and the free plan field says no. The service runs on the web and uses cloud deployment. Harness was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.

OWASP DefectDojo gathers security scanner findings, deduplicates them, helps teams prioritize risk, and supports remediation. It natively integrates with more than 500 security tools across SAST, DAST, software composition analysis, cloud, and container categories. Community Edition accepts integrations through file import or API push and includes bidirectional Jira support; Pro adds more scheduled-pull connectors and ticketing options. Pro also enriches findings with EPSS and CISA KEV threat intelligence, supports automated triage rules, and offers governance features such as single sign-on, granular access controls, audit trails, and SLA enforcement. Sensei can ship fixes as pull requests. The product can be self-hosted or air-gapped, with data export through a documented REST API. Community Edition is free forever, with support through OWASP Slack and GitHub. Pay As You Go costs $100 a month plus $0.15 per finding processed; Sensei AI is billed per use. Pro Reachability is labeled beta, with five verdicts and KEV overriding the ceiling.
