Kiuwan Code Security vs QualityGate

Kiuwan Code Security is a static application security testing tool that identifies and prioritizes source-code vulnerabilities and offers remediation guidance before production. Teams can scan locally or in CI/CD, review findings in a dashboard, run pre-commit analysis, customize rules and configure quality gates to fail builds for high-severity issues. Code analysis can run in the cloud or through Kiuwan Local Analyzer on team infrastructure; results can sync to the cloud dashboard or remain on-premises. Kiuwan lists support for more than 30 languages, including Java, Python, JavaScript, C#, Go and legacy languages such as COBOL and RPG4. Listed detections include injection flaws, XSS, CSRF, broken authentication, insecure cryptography and access-control problems. Findings map to standards including OWASP Top 10, CWE/SANS Top 25, PCI DSS, NIST and ISO/IEC 25000, with compliance reports available. Integrations include Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, developer tools and a REST API. A free 14-day trial is offered. Professional starts at $49 per user / month, billed annually, with a 10-user minimum; Starter is listed at $124 per user / month, billed annually.

QualityGate continuously measures source-code quality and development-team performance, with analysis run inside the customer’s infrastructure and only results uploaded to its servers. Its current static analyzers support Java, C# and JavaScript, and can analyze code stored in Git or TFS. Metrics cover size, complexity, inheritance, coupling, cohesion, documentation and duplication; analyzers also identify hundreds of coding issues, including security vulnerabilities and possible runtime exceptions. Dataflow analysis and symbolic code execution can find vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP Top Ten. QualityGate scores maintainability on a ten-grade scale against benchmarks that include other customers’ systems. It checks every check-in on a selected branch and can fit into sprints, code reviews and CI/CD pipelines. Results are queryable through a REST API, and users can build custom quality models from more than one hundred metrics. The agent runs as a Docker image on Linux or a Windows service. It is available on Linux, Windows, web, API and self-hosted deployments, with a free plan and free trial.
