The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain
Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

Sr Software Engineering Supervisor at Mozarc Medical
Gains control over rule customization and achieves reliable vulnerability assessment
The deployment process took me about 2 or 3 hours to deploy SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube), although I do not remember exactly since it was done about 2 years back. Currently, about 10 of my developers are using SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) in my company. I do not have plans to increase the usage of SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) in the future as there will not be any requirement to increase. I am a senior software engineer and supervisor at Mozark Medical. My corporate email address is karthik.k.a.r.t.h.i.k.h.a.r.p.a.n.h.a.l.l.i@mozarkmedical.com. Overall, I would rate SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) as a 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."
"The company probably chose this solution because they thought that they would be getting the best bang for their buck."
"This product detects vulnerabilities which exist in the environment, and provides enough information that allows for remediation, thereby securing the environment."
"Tripwire is one of the most mature in terms of companies, suites, support, everything, much more than any other product."
"Tripwire IP360 helps me to discover most of the vulnerabilities, and I like the way that it prioritizes these vulnerabilities, as it allows me to focus on the most important ones first and then follow up with the rest."
"It has enhanced the security program by ensuring that all external-facing systems are scanned on a routine basis."
"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."
"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."
"The product has a friendly UI that is easy to use and understand."
"Overall, I would rate SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) as a 9 out of 10."
"We use it as a gatekeeper for our external developers to follow the rules; if they don't comply with the rules within the source code, they cannot commit."
"Provides local scanning for developers."
"One of the most valuable features of SonarQube is its ability to detect code quality during development."
"The product itself has a friendly UI, it's easy to use and we understand how to manage the admin control panel, it's really quick, and it's really easy to perform admin jobs using the control panel."
"It's enabled us to improve software quality and help us to disseminate best practices."
"The free version of SonarQube does everything that we need it to."
 

Cons

"The reporting functions can use improvement."
"If you are looking for better reporting capabilities and vulnerability tracking over time for remediation purposes, then this is not the best solution."
"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."
"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."
"We would like to have better reporting capabilities and for them to be more granular."
"For IP360, unfortunately, scans for certain vulnerabilities often cause issues, as they are mainly false positive."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support."
"I am not very impressed by the technical support."
"One thing to improve would be the integration. There is a steep learning curve to get it integrated."
"Reporting features are missing in SonarCloud."
"The Enterprise edition has the additional features we need, but of course we have to pay for that."
"SonarQube could improve by adding automatic creation of tasks after scanning and more supported languages."
"There are sometimes security breaches in our code, which aren't be caught by SonarQube. In the security area, SonarCube has to improve. It needs to better compete with other products."
"SonarQube's detail in the security could be improved. It may be helpful to have additional details, with regards to Oracle PL/SQL. For example, it's neither as built nor as thorough as Java. For now, this is the only additional feature I would like to see."
"Technical support could be better. If we request support, it's a little bit delayed, and it's not consistent on email."
"SonarQube Cloud could improve its vulnerability detection compared to Veracode."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe the price compares well within the market."
"The product was expensive for us."
"SonarQube price is a little bit higher than Kiuwan's. Kiuwan also gives a little bit of flexibility in terms of pricing."
"There is both a free and licensed version. The free version has limitations on development languages and support."
"This product is open source and very convenient."
"It is very expensive. Its price should be improved."
"I requested this license for one million lines of code and they accepted this."
"The development license cost is reasonable, and we've had no concerns about SonarQube when it comes to cost."
"The developer edition is based on cost per lines of code."
"The beauty of this solution is the free open-source version is capable enough in doing pretty much what an enterprise-level version can do."
