Head-to-Head Comparison
DryRun Security vs Wiz Code
Use the application’s deployment context and security requirements to frame your evaluation of Wiz Code and DryRun. DryRun provides automated adversarial review, retained application context and repair guidance for supported coding agents. Test how configured source-control checks enforce a requirement, then examine the separate review of the repair.
CNAPP Extended into Code — CNAPP/cloud-security platform extended into code via ASPM; strong code-to-cloud graph correlation with native rule-based SAST and public-preview AI SAST and AI/agentic remediation layered on top
| Capability | DryRun Security | Wiz Code | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detection Categories1 | |||
| What this tool covers | ℹ | ℹ | — |
| AI & Intelligence9 | |||
| AI-Native Architecture | ✓ | ✗ Core detection is rule/pattern-based ("thousands of curated rules"); AI is a triage and remediation layer bolted on, not an AI-native code-analysis engine. |
DryRun leads |
| Agentic / Multi-Agent System | ✓ PR review and repository investigations use specialized security agents and evaluations. Source |
~ | DryRun leads |
| Natural Language Policies | ✓ | ✗ Unified policy engine is platform/UI-driven; plain-language interaction exists only via the MCP server for querying, not for policy authoring. |
DryRun leads |
| Model-Independent Verification | ✓ DryRun security evaluation is separate from developer or supported coding-agent repair. Changed code receives fresh review. Source |
✗ No model-independent verification layer described; AI features are triage and remediation outputs, not verified findings. |
DryRun leads |
| Code Security Knowledge Graph | ✓ PR reviews and DeepScan both build and use the DryRun Security Context Graph. |
~ | DryRun leads |
| Cross-repo Analysis | ✓ DryRun looks locally first and, when needed, automatically investigates relevant context, such as authorization logic, across repositories it has permission to access. |
✗ No cross-repository code analysis stated; correlation happens at the cloud-asset level in the Security Graph, not across code repositories. |
DryRun leads |
| Code Security Memory | ✓ Retained application context and feedback inform later investigations; changed code receives fresh review. Scanner-excluded candidates and human dismissals are distinct records. Source |
✗ No code-security memory concept; Green Agent uses historical remediation patterns but this is not stated as a memory feature. |
DryRun leads |
| Custom DryRun Cyber Models | ✓ | ✗ Not available |
DryRun leads |
| Multi-model Architecture | ✓ Routes each task to the best-fit model rather than relying on a single LLM. |
✗ No public statement of a multi-model architecture; underlying models for AI features are not disclosed. |
DryRun leads |
| AI Coding Agent Security6 | |||
| Securing AI-Generated Code | ✓ Reviews human- and AI-written code in connected, configured workflows. Source |
✓ Wiz documents plugin scans at configured development hooks and remediation guidance. Warnings are the default; optional block mode is described for commits and pushes. Source |
Tie |
| AI Coding Visibility / Observability | ✓ Code Insights with AI Assistance (beta): NL queries for risk, trends, exposure; org-wide visibility; per-repo drill-down; file-level security history |
✓ Wiz describes an AI-BOM inventory of frameworks, models and IDE extensions, including Gemini Code Assist, GitHub Copilot and Cursor. Source |
Tie |
| Malicious AI Agent Skill Detection | ✓ Policy Library includes Malicious AI Agent Skills Detection: flags skills/plugins that could enable data theft, backdoors, or code execution |
✗ No specific detection of malicious AI-agent skills; closest capability is general malware scanning in the codebase. |
DryRun leads |
| MCP Integration | ✓ DryRun Insights MCP server: security summaries, PR analysis, trend monitoring, file-level history; connects via Direct HTTP, Claude Shortcuts, or mcp-remote |
✓ | Tie |
| Continuous Enforcement Layer | ✓ Configured PR findings fail checks; required source-control protections enforce the customer’s merge policy. Source |
~ | DryRun leads |
| Per-Review Economics (predictable vs. usage-metered) | ✓ Flat subscription pricing based on team size. Usage pricing applies to DeepScan product. |
✗ Sold as annual code-license SKU (AWS Marketplace lists ~$58,500 for 100 code licenses / 12 months); no per-review or per-PR pricing. |
DryRun leads |
| Code Security Intelligence3 | |||
| Business Logic Flaw Detection | ✓ Investigates authorization and business-logic vulnerabilities such as IDOR and tenant-isolation failures. Source |
✗ No product claim of business-logic flaw detection; findings are CWE- and rule-based with cloud-context prioritization. |
DryRun leads |
| Git Behavioral Analysis | ✓ DeepScan uses Git Behavioral Graphs for churn, temporal coupling, knowledge decay, anomalies and intent analysis. Source |
✗ Not available |
DryRun leads |
| Continuous Baseline & Risk Trending | ✓ Risk Register with Critical/High/Medium/Low severity; AI Assistance for Insights with NL queries, trend monitoring, and 30-day window analysis |
~ Wiz describes finding retesting and automatic resolution of confirmed fixes across public-preview AI SAST scans. Source |
DryRun leads |
| Workflow & Supply Chain2 | |||
| SCM Support | ✓ GitHub and GitLab (native apps with OAuth) |
~ | DryRun leads |
| SBOM / AI-BOM Generation | ✓ | ✓ | Tie |
| Reporting & Compliance1 | |||
| Compliance Framework Mapping (SOC 2, PCI, NIST, OWASP, MISRA, STIG) | ~ | ~ Documents code/development controls for NIST SSDF and OWASP; broader SOC 2 and PCI coverage belongs to platform cloud frameworks. Source |

| G2 Rating / Review Count | ℹ 4.9/5 (19 reviews) — g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews |
ℹ | — |
| 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 | — |
| 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 Matvey N. criticized licensing clarity for both Wiz Cloud and Wiz Code in a parent-Wiz G2 review dated May 22, 2026. Source |
— |
| Common G2 Complaint Themes | ℹ UI/portal speed; desire for more analyzer customization (g2.com/products/dryrun-security/reviews) |
ℹ Parent Wiz feedback is not a Wiz Code-only review sample. Source |
