Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The customizable dashboard and ability to include results and coverage from unit test and other static analysis code tools.""SonarQube has a lot of value, it reviews the basic coding standards and security vulnerabilities of code that help to reduce issues.""We advise all of our developers to have this solution in place.""The SonarQube dashboard looks great.""The initial setup is simple. It requires some security, but it's simple.""The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free.""I like that it's easy to navigate not just in terms of code findings but you can actually see them in the context of your source code because it gives you a copy of your code with the items that it found and highlights them. You can see it directly in your code, so you can easily go back and make the corrections in the code. It basically finds the problems for you and tells you where they are.""SonarQube is useful for controlling all of our Azure task tracking and scanning."

"Very user-friendly and the low code automation is really helpful.""You can quickly build automated testing, manage it, and have it run on a regular basis to ensure that there are no issues.""Software testing tool that has multiple features. It's good to use for SAP testing, and it helps reduce test execution time.""The most important feature is its ability to support the technical automation of specific clients that we cannot use with other tools.""It's stable and reliable.""The use of automation is most valuable.""The solution has plenty of features compared to other solutions.""The scalability is a valuable feature of Tricentis Tosca."

Cons
"Their dashboarding is very limited. They can improve their dashboards for multiple areas, such as security review, maintainability, etc. They have all this information, so they should publish all this information on the dashboard so that the users can view the summary and then analyze it further. This is something that I would like to see in the next version.""The product's user documentation can be vastly improved.""We found a solution with dynamic testing, and are looking to find a solution that can be used for both types of testing.""We had some issues where the Quality Gate check sometimes gets stuck and it is unclear.""Although it has Sonar built into it, it is still lacking. Customization features of identifying a particular attack still need to be worked on. To give you an example: if we want to scan and do a false positive analysis, those types of features are missing. If we want to rescan something from a particular point that is a feature that is also missing. It’s in our queue. That will hopefully save a lot of time.""The solution could improve by providing more advanced technologies.""Ease of use/interface.""Monitoring is a feature that can be improved in the next version."

More SonarQube Cons →

"I have found that some of the functions could be missed in the solution for new users. They are not obviously present.""I think the downside would be licensing costs which are very high.""There have been some setbacks because of upgrades. While Tosca has been around for a while, Tricentis has catered to smaller clients and I don't think they have done such a large, at-scale transition or transformation before or worked with a company like ours, which is doing an enterprise-wide transformation. When we go to their customer advisory-board meetings, upgrades have been an issue. They have been working a lot to make upgrades seamless.""I would like a better user interface.""Running the regression – if multiple lists are executed at once or if a list contains 200+ tests, it’s a pain to stop the execution.""Very difficult to get information about licensing costs.""The source controls that are in Tricentis Tosca have some problems. For example, if you use Selenium or use Java-based application, it's easy to match code from two developers. However, if you're a developer and going to look at Tricentis Tosca, it's very difficult to use the source control measure.""A disadvantage of Tricentis Tosca is that you have to customize it according to your need, during the early stages of the software, particularly during upstream testing, before system and unit testing."

    Overview

    SonarQube is a self-managed open-source platform that helps developers create code devoid of quality and vulnerability issues. By integrating seamlessly with the top DevOps platforms in the Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline, SonarQube continuously inspects projects across multiple programming languages, providing immediate status feedback while coding. SonarQube’s quality gates become part of your release pipeline, displaying pass/fail results for new code based on quality profiles you customize to your company standards. Following Sonar’s Clean as You Code methodology guarantees that only software of the highest quality makes it to production.

    At its core, SonarQube includes a static code analyzer that identifies bugs, security vulnerabilities, hidden secrets, and code smells. The platform guides you through issue resolution, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. SonarQube’s comprehensive reporting is a valuable tool for dev teams to monitor their codebase's overall health and quality across multiple projects in their portfolio. With SonarQube, you can achieve a state of Clean Code, leading to secure, reliable, and maintainable software.

    Sonar is the only solution combining the power of industry-leading software quality analysis with static application security testing (SAST) and real-time coding guidance in the IDE (with SonarLint) to meet the DevOps and DevSecOps demand of putting agility, automation, and security in the hands of developers. Further accelerate DevOps continuous integration by helping developers find and fix issues in code before the software testing stage, reducing the churn of finding, fixing, rebuilding, and retesting your app.

    With over 5,000 Clean Code rules, SonarQube analyzes 30+ of the most popular programming languages, including dozens of frameworks, the top DevOps platforms (GitLab, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket, and more), and the leading infrastructure as code (IaC) platforms.

    SonarQube is the most trusted static code analyzer used by over 7 million developers and 400,000 organizations globally to clean over half a trillion lines of code.
