Where each tool shines and where Secho fills the gaps
SCC is Google's native cloud security posture management tool. Excellent GCP coverage but requires GCP console access, cannot scan third-party vendors, and has no GitHub or cross-cloud coverage.
Aggregates findings from GuardDuty, Inspector, Macie. Solid for AWS-centric environments but entirely AWS-bound — no GCP, no GitHub, no external vendor assessment.
Industry leader in vulnerability management with deep CVE scanning. Requires agent deployment, high licensing costs starting at $5K/year, focuses on known CVEs rather than cloud configuration.
Industry leader in endpoint detection and response. Unmatched at endpoint layer — behavioral AI, kernel-level telemetry. No TPRM, no document compliance, no GitHub audit.
Gold standard for source code security — CodeQL, secret scanning, Dependabot. Only covers repositories, not org-level security posture, Actions misconfigs, or cross-repo permissions.
Fastest-growing cloud security platform. Strong attack path analysis. Pricing typically starts at $100K/year, no TPRM capability, no external vendor security posture assessment.
Run your first scan in under 60 seconds. No agents. No SaaS onboarding. No sales call required.
