Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is stable."
"It is an easy tool that you can deploy and configure. After that you can measure the history of your obligation and integrate it with other tools like GitLab or GitHub or Azure DevOps to do quality code analysis."
"If you want to have your code scanned and timed then this is a good tool."
"I am only interested in the security features in SonarQube. There are plenty of features other features, such as test coverage, code anomalies, and pointer access are handled by the business logic teams. They get the reports and they have to fix them in JIRA or Bugzilla."
"It is working fine. It provides a good value for money."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, easy to access, and they provide good training files."
"It's enabled us to improve software quality and help us to disseminate best practices."
"The software quality gate streamlines the product's quality."
"The solution's instant reports feature is the most effective for detecting threats."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting, which provides a good level of detail with respect to vulnerabilities."
"The solution is stable."
"Tenable provides the end analysis results covering all the published vulnerabilities and information on the market."
"It collects the vulnerabilities on the hostnames and sends them to the Tenable.io cloud. Tenable has its own cloud where Tenable.io is running, but there are many connectors to other cloud solutions. Tenable can do vulnerability scanning for other cloud managers such as Azure, Amazon, and so on."
"The most effective feature of the product is the ability to scan the entire environment."
"The most valuable features of Tenable.io Web Application Scanning are the integration into specific use cases and scanning. All of the features of the solution are useful."
"SonarQube could improve by adding automatic creation of tasks after scanning and more support for the Czech language."
"I would like to see SonarQube implement a good amount of improvements to the product's security features. Another aspect of SonarQube that could be improved is the search functionality."
"SonarQube can improve by scanning the internal library which currently it does not do. We are looking for a solution for this."
"One thing to improve would be the integration. There is a steep learning curve to get it integrated."
"For improvement, this solution could be offered on Docker and the cloud and the support for this solution could be improved. Customizing rules could also be made simpler."
"The product's pricing could be lower."
"The scanning part could be improved in SonarQube. We have used Coverity for scanning, and we have the critical issues reported by Coverity. When we used SonarQube for scanning and looked at the results, it seems that some of them have incorrect input. This part can be improved for C and C++ languages."
"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 report customization needs to be better."
"They have a general dashboard for web application scanning, but the dashboards and reporting can be improved. They probably have some features in their roadmap."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning is not very user-friendly and you need a lot of information to get proper reports. The tool's support is not very responsive."
"It isn't easy to manage vulnerabilities in Tenable."
"I would like for them to add proxy filtering, where you can transfer and alter the package. It is fully automated. Other web application testers programs are actually proxy software, and the proxy software gives you the flexibility of modifying the outgoing package, which will actually help you in exploiting any vulnerability in detail."
"The dashboard could be more user-friendly."
"Tenable.io Web Application Scanning conducts a general scan, which wastes time. The scan needs to be specific."
"The technical support should be improved. Currently, some attacks are detected while others are not."
