We performed a comparison between Parasoft SOAtest and SonarQube based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Static Application Security Testing (SAST) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Parasoft SOAtest has improved the quality of our automated web services, which can be easily implemented through service chaining and service virtualization."
"We have seen a return on investment."
"The solution is scalable."
"Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports."
"Automatic testing is the most valuable feature."
"Good write and read files which save execution inputs and outputs and can be stored locally."
"Technical support is helpful."
"We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios."
"The good thing with SonarQube is it covers a lot of issues, it's a very robust framework."
"It assists during the development with SonarLint and helps the developer to change his approach or rather improve his coding pattern or style. That's one advantage I've seen. Another advantage is that we can customize the rules."
"SonarQube is one of the more popular solutions because it supports 29 languages."
"The fact that the solution does security scanning is valuable."
"With SonarQube's web interface, it is easy to drill down to see the individual problems, but also to look at the project from above and get the big picture, with possible larger problem areas."
"The reporting and the results are quick. It gets integrated within the pipeline well."
"It provides you with many features, as it does with the premium model, but there are still extra features that can be purchased if needed."
"I follow Quality Gate's graduation model within organization, and it is extremely helpful for me to benchmark products."
"Compatibility with HTTP 1.1 and TLS 1.2 needs to be improved."
"The summary reports could be improved."
"From an automation point of view, it should have better clarity and be more user friendly."
"UI testing should be more in-depth."
"Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times."
"Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements."
"During the process of working with SOAtest and building test cases, the .TST files will grow. A negative side effect is that saving your changes takes more time."
"The feedback that we received from the DevOps of our organization was that the tool was a little heavy from the transformation perspective."
"I find it is light on the security side."
"The time it took for me to do the whole process was approximately two hours because I had to download, read the documentation, and do the configurations."
"We called support and complained but have not received any information as we use the free version. We had to fix it on our own and could not escalate it to the tool's developer."
"We found a solution with dynamic testing, and are looking to find a solution that can be used for both types of testing."
"We're in the process of figuring out how to automate the workflow for QA audit controls on it. I think that's perhaps an area that we could use some buffing. We're a Kubernetes shop, so there are some things that aren't direct fits, which we're struggling with on the component Docker side. But nothing major."
"A better design of the interface and add some new rules."
"SonarQube needs to improve its ease of use, integration with third-party platforms, and scalability."
"The BPM language is important and should be considered in SonarQube."
