The record

Product purpose: CAST Highlight is SaaS application portfolio analysis software that assesses custom business applications and reports metrics including software risk, complexity, and size.
Source analysis: The product analyzes source code to surface application health, software resiliency, technical debt, and private data risks.
Cloud planning: Cloud Insights includes cloud maturity and effort estimates, container readiness, cloud blockers and boosters, and cloud native service recommendations.
Open source risk: SCA Insights covers open source security and license risks, recommendations, component obsolescence, and SBOM creation and importing.
AI features: The product identifies applications for AI augmentation, recommends suitable AI services or LLMs, and assesses agent readiness, blockers, and fixes.
Integrations: The CAST Highlight Extensions Marketplace lists plugins for Azure DevOps, GitHub, Jira, BitBucket, and VS Code; the product page also names Microsoft Teams, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot for instant answers.
Security: CAST says the SaaS platform is ISO 27001 certified and stores analysis results in a client-reserved cloud hosted on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud; source code and database scripts are not uploaded.
Trial: CAST offers a 14-day trial with a preloaded sample portfolio and views of application health, AI opportunities, cloud maturity, software composition, and green software insights.
Supported systems: The Code Reader is available for Windows, Linux, and Mac, and the documented requirements specify Windows 10 or later for the Windows option.
Source code handling: The Code Reader creates result files for upload to the portal, while CAST states the analysis process does not require uploading source code or database scripts to the cloud.
Subscription limits: Each application portfolio requires its own subscription, subscriptions cannot be shared across portfolios belonging to different companies or owners, and larger portfolios require contacting CAST.
Renewal: Annual subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled with 60 days’ notice.
Support: Annual subscriptions include complementary concierge services from a dedicated CAST specialist for kickoff, setup, interpreting results, best practices, e-learning, certification, and follow-up.
Intended users: CAST describes the platform for organization-wide IT portfolios, with portfolio managers administering instances and application owners contributing scans and survey answers.
