| Headquarters | Port Louis, Mauritius | Amsterdam, Netherlands |
| Purpose | NDepend is a .NET code quality and security analysis tool that provides insight into codebases for developers, architects, and executives. | Qodana runs static code analysis from the IDE through CI to detect code smells, duplicates, complexity, vulnerabilities, and license issues. |
| Quality gates | Customizable PASS, WARN, and FAIL quality and security criteria can fail a build pipeline. | Quality gates can fail pipelines based on issue counts, severity, coverage, vulnerable dependencies or license compliance. |
NDepend suits .NET, C#, and VB.NET teams that need static analysis, security checks, architecture views, and CI/CD quality gates. Developers can use the interactive edition, while build servers use the Build Machine edition.
Qodana suits development teams that want code analysis and pipeline checks across supported IDEs and CI systems. Organizations that need the service inside their own infrastructure can consider Self-Hosted.
