Best Software Intelligence Platforms in Canada

Visual Expert is a static code analyzer for Oracle PL/SQL, SQL Server T-SQL, and PowerBuilder. Identify code dependencies to modify your code without breaking your application. Scan your code to improve the security, performance, and quality. Perform Impact analysis to Identify breaking changes. Automatically scan your code to detect and fix security vulnerabilities, bugs and maintenance Issues. Implement continuous code inspection Understand the inner workings of your code with call graphs, code diagrams, CRUD Matrix and Object Dependency Matrix (ODM). Automatically generate an HTML Source Code documentation. Explore your code exploration with hyperlinks Compare applications, databases or pieces of code. Improve maintainability. Clean up code. Comply with dev standards. Analyze and Improve DB code performance: Find slow objects and SQL queries, Optimize a slow object, a Chain of calls a slow SQL, Get a query Execution Plan. And much more.

Understand is a comprehensive static-analysis and code-comprehension platform that helps software engineers “see” and understand large, complex code bases, whether legacy, safety-critical, or modern multi-language projects. It parses your source code and builds a complete “code dictionary” of every entity (files, classes, functions, variables), populating cross-references, call trees, dependency graphs, control-flow diagrams, and more. Through interactive, customizable graphs and visualizations, call graphs, control flow graphs, dependency trees, and UML-style class diagrams, you can explore exactly how parts of the code connect, which modules depend on which, and where changes may ripple across the project. Understand also computes detailed metrics at various levels (file, class, function) such as cyclomatic complexity, lines of code, comment-to-code ratio, coupling/cohesion, and other maintainability indicators; these metrics can be viewed in treemaps, exported to HTML or CSV.

The Code Registry is an AI-powered code intelligence and analysis platform that gives businesses and non-technical stakeholders full visibility into their software codebase, even if they don’t write code themselves. Upon connecting your code repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or uploading a zipped archive), the platform creates a secure “IP Vault” and runs a comprehensive automated analysis across your entire codebase. It produces a range of reports and dashboards, including a code-complexity score (revealing how intricate or maintainable your code is), open-source component analysis (detecting dependencies, license status, outdated or vulnerable libraries), security analysis (identifying potential vulnerabilities, insecure configurations or risky dependencies), and a “cost-to-replicate” valuation, estimating how much effort or resources it would take to rebuild or replace the software from scratch.

Reduce 1000s of hours of static code analysis fixes to minutes. Patch security vulnerabilities across 100s of repositories at once. Moderne automates code remediation tasks for you, enabling developers to deliver more business value all the time. Automatically make safe, sweeping changes to your codebase that improve the quality, security, and cost of code. Manage dependencies of your software supply chain, keeping software up to date continuously. Alleviate code smells automatically without all the scanning noise of SAST and SCA tools. Work in high-quality code all the time. Find and fix CVEs automatically across repositories, it's the ultimate shift left for security. The reality of modern applications is that they naturally accrue technical debt. They are composed of large and diverse codebases and ecosystems, and a supply chain of custom, third-party, and open-source software.

vFunction modernizes Java applications and accelerates migration to the cloud. Automatically and quickly extract efficient microservices from complex monolithic apps. A single pane of glass that manages, tracks full cloud migration and modernization projects across an enterprise application estate. Modernization dashboard coordinates the full migration and modernization process including marking apps for refactoring, retention, retirement, replatforming, or rewriting. Your cloud transformation projects are moving ahead – but application modernization projects are not. Help application teams get unstuck and move forward faster. The pressure to modernize is growing. Lift and shift won’t cut it. These legacy apps are hard to refactor – automation and analytics can help modernize your most complex app. Take on more complex projects confidently.

SMART TS XL is an enterprise-grade application discovery and “software intelligence” platform that enables organizations to search, analyze, and visualize dependencies across all their codebases, regardless of platform or language. It ingests source code, database schemas, configuration files, documentation, ticketing logs, JCL, and other assets, from legacy mainframes (COBOL, JCL, PL/I, AS/400, etc.) to modern distributed environments (Java, .NET, Python, JavaScript, C++, databases, scripts, text files), and catalogs everything into a centralized, searchable repository. With patented indexing technology, SMART TS XL can process millions or even billions of lines of code and return results in seconds, allowing users to instantly locate where particular fields, error messages, modules, or logic are used enterprise-wide. It generates interactive visualizations like control-flow diagrams, cross-reference graphs, and impact-analysis maps.

eXplain is a specialized code-analysis and legacy-system evaluation tool from PKS Software GmbH, designed to deeply analyze, map, document, and assess legacy applications, especially on mainframe platforms such as IBM i (AS/400) and IBM Z, so organizations can understand what lives in their software, how it’s structured, and what parts are worth keeping, refactoring or retiring. It imports existing source code into an independent “eXplain server”, no need to install anything on the host system, then uses advanced parsers to examine languages like COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, Natural, RPG, JCL, and others, along with data about databases (Db2, Adabas, IMS), job-schedulers, transaction monitors, and more. eXplain builds a central repository that becomes a knowledge hub; from there, it generates cross-language dependency graphs, data-flow maps, interface analyses, clusterings of related modules, and detailed object-and-resource usage reports.
