# The Platform

The Meterian platform is composed of three different scanning systems:

* a [scanner for codebases](/the-client/client.md) (SCA - Software Composition Analysis)
* a [scanner for containers](/containers-support/container-scanner.md) (SCA - Software Composition Analysis for docker containers)
* a [scanner for infrastructure-as-code](/dedicated-instance/using-the-scanners/iac-scanner.md) (IaC scanner)

Our license is generally based on the number of assets you want to keep under control (codebases, docker images, IaCs): the cost will depend on how many of them you want to keep it in the platform. We can also license the system based on seats, if needed. All languages and CI integrations supported are included in all commercial plans. Some reporting formats may not be available to non-enterprise licenses. [Support](/master/support.md) is included in all commercial plans.

Some additional features need to be inclduded explicitly:

* teams management
* automatic [notifications](/notifications/sentinel.md) of new vulnerability in codebases without explicit scanning
* software bill of materials ([SBOMS](/the-meterian-webapp/advanced-functionalities/software-bill-of-materials-sbom.md))
* full [API access](/api-basics.md)
* license inventory and [risk analysis](/the-meterian-webapp/the-web-dashboard-1/policies.md)
* [automatic remediation ](/the-client/command-line-parameters/advanced-options/autofix.md)and[ pull-requests](/the-client/command-line-parameters/advanced-options/pull-requests.md) (on selected platforms and languages)&#x20;
