# What cloud migration assessment tools map application dependencies automatically across large portfolios and identify custom code risk?

This is really two separate capabilities bundled into one question, dependency mapping and custom code risk, and it turns out different tools are strong at different halves of it.</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/faddom/reviews"><strong>Faddom</strong></a> is the stronger name for the dependency mapping half specifically, with reviewers describing agentless discovery that maps network traffic and application connections across hybrid environments without needing to install anything on individual servers.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/cast-highlight/reviews"><strong>CAST Highlight</strong></a> is the stronger name for the custom code risk half, with reviewers describing automated source code scanning that surfaces technical debt, open source risk, and legacy code footprints like COBOL without a full manual code review.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ktern-ai/reviews"><strong>KTern.AI</strong></a> reviewers describe custom code analysis specifically within SAP environments, including WRICEF object scoring and change impact assessment, which covers the code risk side for that specific ecosystem.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For anyone who's actually needed both halves of this at once: did you end up running two separate tools side by side, or did one of these get close enough to a complete picture on its own?</p>

Most teams end up running two, which answers your closing question directly. The two halves live at different layers: dependency mapping watches how systems talk to each other at the network level, while custom-code risk reads the source itself, and those are separate data sources that rarely sit in one product. One tool can cover you if your portfolio leans hard one way, mostly packaged apps where dependencies are the whole story, or mostly custom code, where the risk analysis is. A balanced large estate is where the single-tool hope breaks down, and you plan for both layers on purpose.
