How do the selected tools compare?
| Row | Legit Security | Snyk | Backslash Security |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank | Rank 1 of 10 | Rank 2 of 10 | Rank T-3 of 10 |
| Weighted total | 4.4 / 5 | 4.1 / 5 | 3.9 / 5 |
| Best for | Best for endpoint governance of AI coding agents | Best for broad assistant coverage with a free start | Best for agent policy and audit evidence |
| Coverage of AI-generated code and AI coding assistants (25%) | 5.0 leadVibeGuard discovers every AI model, code assistant, MCP server and skill on developer endpoints and runs SAST and SCA in the IDE. Legit names Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf and Amazon Q Developer. Codex: supported (per Legit). | 5.0 leadEvo Agentic Development Security names Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Antigravity, Kiro and Qodo, discovers MCP servers, skills and tools, and secures code inside the agent. Snyk Studio's MCP server lists Copilot among supported AI tools. | 4.5Discovers "every AI agent, MCP server, Skill and plug-in" across enterprise endpoints, and its AWS Marketplace listing covers IDEs, CLIs, agents, MCP servers and LLMs, naming Cursor, Windsurf and GitHub Copilot. No public support list names Claude Code or Codex. |
| Endpoint deployment and tamper resistance (20%) | 5.0 leadVibeGuard 2.0 is built "as a full desktop app, and not as a plugin", and its anti-tampering stops agents or threat actors "from disabling VibeGuard". A secrets MCP backed by the OS keychain scopes credentials to the session and keeps them out of agent history and memory. | 3.0Evo coding agent security is metered per active machine per day and can evaluate, steer or block agent activity; an endpoint application and tamper resistance are not described on the pages reviewed. | 4.0Positioned as "securing the agentic endpoint", with inline blocking before execution across enterprise endpoints and an MCP proxy; tamper resistance is not described. |
| Governance and policy control for the CISO (20%) | 4.5A central management console lets security teams approve, block or flag assistants, models and MCP servers and enforce custom or built-in command policies. Audit-log detail specific to VibeGuard is not covered on the public pages reviewed; the platform states an audit trail for policy compliance. Ask Legit for specifics during evaluation. | 4.0Evo can evaluate, steer or block risky agent activity across discovered MCP servers, skills and tools. It requires an Enterprise subscription, and audit reporting on agent activity is not described on the pages reviewed. | 5.0 leadPolicies scoped by user, team, endpoint or component, inline blocking, and forensics and audit evidence for the EU AI Act, NIS2, DORA and SOC 2. |
| Developer experience and low friction (15%) | 3.5Reaches developers through the IDE, a CLI and MCP, and surfaces dangerous operations for the developer to decide rather than blocking them silently, but there is no free or self-serve tier. | 4.5 leadThe Free plan includes IDE, CLI and source control integrations, and Snyk Studio brings scanning into AI tools through an MCP server. | 3.0No free product tier or self-serve start; a free, read-only AI Endpoint Exposure Assessment is offered. |
| Pricing and buying clarity (10%) | 2.5No price on Legit's own site. AWS Marketplace lists all modules with 24/7 support for 100 users at $60,000 for 12 months (marketplace price). | 3.5 leadFree ($0) and Team ($25 a month) are published and Enterprise uses a public credit rate card (1 credit = $1; Evo coding agent security at 1.0 credit per active machine per day), but agent security is Enterprise only. | 2.0No pricing page. AWS Marketplace lists the Backslash Vibe Coding Security Platform at a $75,000 annual commit for 12 months (marketplace price). |
| Remediation and ASPM depth (10%) | 5.0 leadAgentic remediation fixes first-party SAST and dependency (SCA) findings and opens pull requests; risk is ranked by business context and reachability, and findings from existing scanners are consolidated. | 4.0Risk Score weighs reachability, exploit maturity, business impact, EPSS and CVSS, and AI remediation uses an agentic retry loop. Ingestion of third-party scanner findings is not confirmed on the pages reviewed. | 3.0The AppGraph engine runs SAST, SCA and secrets scanning; fix generation and risk prioritization are not described on the pages reviewed. |
| Free tier | No (free trial on request) | Yes: Free, $0 | No (free read-only AI Endpoint Exposure Assessment) |
| Lowest published paid price | AWS Marketplace: $60,000 for 12 months, all modules, 100 users (marketplace price) | Team from $25 a month (up to 10 developers) | AWS Marketplace: $75,000 annual commit, 12 months (marketplace price) |
| Pricing unit | Users (marketplace bundle) | Enterprise credits (1 credit = $1) | Annual commit |
| Assistants named | Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf and OpenAI Codex (Codex: supported (per Legit)) | Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, OpenAI Codex and Kiro | Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Windsurf |
