We performed a comparison between OWASP Zap and SonarCloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Testing (AST) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The OWASP's tool is free of cost, which gives it a great advantage, especially for smaller companies to make use of the tool."
"The product discovers more vulnerabilities compared to other tools."
"Automatic updates and pull request analysis."
"We use the solution for security testing."
"The API is exceptional."
"The interface is easy to use."
"They offer free access to some other tools."
"The solution is good at reporting the vulnerabilities of the application."
"Recently, they introduced support for mono reports and microservices, which is a noteworthy development as it provides a more detailed view of each service."
"The most valuable feature of SonarCloud is its overall performance."
"The reports from SonarCloud are very good."
"The solution can be installed locally."
"The solution provides continuous code analysis which has improved the quality of our code. It can raise alarms on vulnerabilities with immediate reports on the dashboard. Few things are false positives and we can customize the rules."
"I'm not implementing the solutions. However, I've talked to the people who deploy the tools, and they are happy with how easy setting up SonarCloud is."
"The most valuable features of SonarCloud are the ability to discover vulnerabilities, security weak points, security hotspots, and all the feedback that comes into the feature branch. You can deploy the code with the security, you can eliminate the problem at the developer level rather than identifying the problem in the productions."
"Its dashboard provides a unified view of various code quality metrics, including code duplication, unit test coverage, and security hotspots."
"There's very little documentation that comes with OWASP Zap."
"The ability to search the internet for other use cases and to use the solution to make applications more secure should be addressed."
"Too many false positives; test reports could be improved."
"Zap could improve by providing better reports for security and recommendations for the vulnerabilities."
"The documentation is lacking and out-of-date, it really needs more love."
"It would be ideal if I could try some pre-built deployment scenarios so that I don't have to worry about whether the configuration sector team is doing it right or wrong. That would be very helpful."
"The technical support team must be proactive."
"It would be nice to have a solid SQL injection engine built into Zap."
"I've been told by the developers that the solution is too limited. It's not testing enough within the containers."
"The documentation needs improvement on optimizing build time for seamless CI/CD integration with our Android apps."
"There's room for improvement in the configuration process, particularly during the initial setup phase."
"SonarCloud's UI needs enhancement."
"The solution needs to improve its customization and flexibility."
"CI/CD pipeline is part of a whole chain of design, development, and production, and it's becoming increasingly crucial to optimize the various tools across different stages. However, it's still a silo approach because the full integration is missing. This isn't just an issue with SonarCloud. It's a general problem with tooling."
"We had some issues with the scanner."
"It would be helpful if notifications could go out to an extra person."
