Head-to-Head Comparison

DryRun Security vs Qwiet AI

Qwiet AI is now Harness SAST and SCA. Evaluate the current product alongside DryRun using representative code, a security requirement and a repair. DryRun combines automated adversarial review with retained application context, configured source-control checks and guidance for supported coding agents, followed by review of the changed code.

CPG-based SAST + SCA — CPG-based SAST + SCA platform (acquired by Harness); IEEE award-winning Code Property Graph; 97% TPR claimed

Natural Language Policies ✓
Natural-language requirements are evaluated against code context; configured findings can fail required source-control checks. Source 1 · Source 2
✗
Rules and policies defined via YAML/Policy Studio, not natural language.
DryRun leads
Model-Independent Verification ✓
DryRun security evaluation is separate from developer or supported coding-agent repair. Changed code receives fresh review. Source

Code Security Knowledge Graph ✓
PR reviews and DeepScan both build and use the DryRun Security Context Graph.
✓
Documents a Code Property Graph representing program syntax, control flow and data flow for security analysis. Source

Notable G2 Praise (Attributed) ℹ
"DryRun goes far beyond what rule-based SAST tools offer. It catches things other tools completely miss — like middleware that's defined but never mounted, or trust boundary misalignments." — Jabez A., Director, Product Security Architecture, Enterprise (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews)
ℹ
Brooks S. praised CI/CD documentation and responsive support (G2, September 19, 2024). Source
—
Notable G2 Criticisms (Attributed) ℹ
"I do somewhat wish there were more customization options for tuning the analyzers, but that seems to be in the works." — Kyle R. (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews)
ℹ
Brooks S., CEO, criticized CLI-only custom-policy configuration (G2, September 19, 2024). Source
—
Common G2 Complaint Themes ℹ
UI/portal speed; desire for more analyzer customization (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews)
ℹ
Three 2023–2024 reviews mention policy/UI configuration limits and reporting gaps; this small historical sample does not establish current prevalence. Source
