We performed a comparison between Fortify WebInspect and SonarCloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to make our customers more secure."
"The solution is able to detect a wide range of vulnerabilities. It's better at it than other products."
"The solution's technical support was very helpful."
"The user interface is ok and it is very simple to use."
"Good at scanning and finding vulnerabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the static analysis."
"The solution is easy to use."
"There are lots of small settings and tools, like an HTTP editor, that are very useful."
"Its dashboard provides a unified view of various code quality metrics, including code duplication, unit test coverage, and security hotspots."
"The solution can be installed locally."
"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 reports from SonarCloud are very good."
"Recently, they introduced support for mono reports and microservices, which is a noteworthy development as it provides a more detailed view of each service."
"SonarCloud is overall a good tool for identifying code smells, bugs, and code duplication, but we've found that using Android Lint is more effective for our needs."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of SonarCloud is its overall performance."
"Lately, we've seen more false negatives."
"The installation could be a bit easier. Usually it's simple to use, but the installation is painful and a bit laborious and complex."
"It took us between eight and ten hours to scan an entire site, which is somewhat slow and something that I think can be improved."
"Not sufficiently compatible with some of our systems."
"The solution needs better integration with Microsoft's Azure Cloud or an extension of Azure DevOps. In fact, it should better integrate with any cloud provider. Right now, it's quite difficult to integrate with that solution, from the cloud perspective."
"One thing I would like to see them introduce is a cloud-based platform."
"A localized version, for example, in Korean would be a big improvement to this solution."
"Our biggest complaint about this product is that it freezes up, and literally doesn't work for us."
"There's room for improvement in the configuration process, particularly during the initial setup phase."
"SonarCloud's UI needs enhancement."
"SonarCloud can improve the false positives. Sometimes the gates sometimes act a little weird. We then need to manually go and mark the false positive."
"I've been told by the developers that the solution is too limited. It's not testing enough within the containers."
"It would be helpful if notifications could go out to an extra person."
"We had some issues with the scanner."
"The solution needs to improve its customization and flexibility."
"The reports could improve by providing more information. We are not able to use the reports in our operation until they are improved. Additionally, if the vendor provided more customization capabilities it would be a benefit."
