How TigerGate Works

TigerGate provides everything Sysdig offers for containers, plus comprehensive code security and multi-cloud CSPM—all in one unified platform

1. Container & Runtime Security

Like Sysdig, we use eBPF for runtime monitoring and threat detection in Kubernetes and containers, with image vulnerability scanning and malware detection.

2. Multi-Cloud CSPM

Unlike Sysdig, TigerGate includes comprehensive CSPM with 576+ checks across AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes with automated remediation.

3. Complete Code Security

TigerGate adds full SAST, SCA, secrets detection, DAST, and API security testing—capabilities Sysdig doesn't provide. Secure code before deployment.

The TigerGate Advantage

Sysdig excels at container and Kubernetes security. TigerGate extends this with comprehensive cloud security, code scanning, and compliance automation—giving you complete security coverage from code to cloud.

  • All Sysdig features + multi-cloud CSPM + code security
  • Comprehensive cloud coverage: AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle, Kubernetes
  • Flexible deployment: SaaS, self-hosted, or on-premise
  • 10x more affordable than Sysdig enterprise pricing

Why Teams Choose TigerGate Over Sysdig

Get everything Sysdig offers plus critical cloud and code security capabilities—at 10x lower cost

Multi-Cloud CSPM

TigerGate includes comprehensive CSPM with 576+ checks across AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes. Sysdig lacks comprehensive cloud security posture management.

Sysdig: Limited cloud coverage

Complete Code Security

TigerGate includes SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, DAST, and API testing—capabilities Sysdig doesn't provide. Secure your code before deployment.

Sysdig: No code security features

10x More Affordable

Start at $499/month vs Sysdig's $75K+ enterprise-only pricing. Get transparent, predictable pricing that scales with your team, not your infrastructure.

Sysdig: Enterprise-only, contact sales

Flexible Deployment

Deploy on your infrastructure, in your cloud, or use our managed SaaS. Full control over your security platform and data sovereignty.

Sysdig: Limited deployment options

Same eBPF Runtime Protection

Like Sysdig, TigerGate uses eBPF for kernel-level visibility. Monitor production environments, detect zero-days, and identify supply chain attacks in real-time.

Sysdig: Container-focused only

Unified Platform

One platform for code, cloud, container, runtime, and compliance security. No need to integrate multiple tools or vendors like with Sysdig.

Sysdig: Multiple products required
"Sysdig gave us excellent container security but we still needed separate tools for cloud CSPM and code scanning. TigerGate unified everything into one platform at a fraction of the cost. We got the same container security plus comprehensive cloud and code coverage for under $8K/year vs Sysdig's $80K+ quote."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about choosing TigerGate over Sysdig

TigerGate provides comparable container security capabilities to Sysdig, including eBPF-based runtime monitoring, image vulnerability scanning, Kubernetes security, and threat detection. We use the same kernel-level visibility approach that makes Sysdig effective, while adding comprehensive cloud and code security.
Yes. TigerGate covers all of Sysdig's container and Kubernetes security capabilities while adding multi-cloud CSPM (576+ checks), code security (SAST, SCA, secrets), DAST, API testing, and AI security. You get more complete security coverage than Sysdig provides.
Sysdig is proprietary enterprise software with high sales and support costs. TigerGate is open source with transparent pricing. We start at $499/month for startups vs Sysdig's $75K+ enterprise-only model. You get broader features at 10x lower cost.
Yes. TigerGate supports Kubernetes, Docker, ECS, and container security with eBPF-based runtime monitoring, image vulnerability scanning, compliance checks, and threat detection—the same capabilities as Sysdig. We also add comprehensive cloud CSPM that Sysdig lacks.
TigerGate adds: (1) Multi-cloud CSPM with 576+ checks for AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, (2) Code security with SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, (3) DAST and API security testing, (4) AI/LLM security scanning, (5) Self-hosted deployment options, (6) Transparent pricing, (7) Unified platform eliminating multiple tools.
Yes. TigerGate uses eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) for kernel-level runtime monitoring, just like Sysdig. This provides the same low-overhead, high-visibility monitoring of system calls, network activity, and container behavior. We run on Linux 4.15+ kernels.
Yes. TigerGate offers flexible deployment options including self-hosted in your VPC or on-premise infrastructure. While Sysdig offers some self-hosted components, TigerGate provides complete control over your entire security platform for data sovereignty and compliance requirements.
Most teams complete the migration in 1-2 days. TigerGate uses similar eBPF agents and Kubernetes integrations. We provide migration support and can run parallel with Sysdig during the transition. The lightweight agent deployment makes testing risk-free.
