Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Improve the code coverage and evaluates the technical steps and percentage of code being resolved.""We consider it a handy tool that helps to resolve our issues immediately.""There are many options and examples available in the tool that help us fix the issues it shows us.""Strong code evaluation for budget-minded clients.""I like that it has a better dashboard compared to Clockwork. It's also stable.""We can create a Quality Gate in order to fail Jenkins jobs where the code coverage is lower than the set percentage.""It provides the security that is required from a solution for financial businesses.""The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, easy to access, and they provide good training files."

"The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security.""Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you."

Cons
"We had some issues where the Quality Gate check sometimes gets stuck and it is unclear.""The learning curve can be fairly steep at first, but then, it's not an entry-level type of application. It's not like an introduction to C programming. You should know not just C programming and how to make projects but also how to apply its findings to the bigger picture. I've had users who said that they wish it was easier to understand how to configure, but I don't know if that's doable because what it's doing is a very complicated thing. I don't know if it is possible to make a complicated thing trivially simple.""Having performance regression would be a helpful add on or ability to be able to do during the scan.""Code security scanning could be improved.""SonarQube could be improved by implementing inter-procedural code analysis capabilities, allowing for a more comprehensive detection of defects and vulnerabilities across the entire codebase.""We did have some trouble with the LDAP integration for the console.""I don't believe you can have metrics of code quality based upon code analysis. I don't think it's possible for a computer to do it.""There needs to be a shareable reporting piece or something we can click and generate easily."

More SonarQube Cons →

"What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services.""The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature."

    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.
