Senior Director of Engineering - Information Security at Apna
Effectively in identify and fix bugs early in the development lifecycle
When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Previously, security professionals had to spend a lot of time and effort running around, asking people to fix issues in their products, architectures, code, and even networks. With ShiftLeft, everything becomes robust and secure from within. Instead of relying on external measures like Web Application Firewalls (WAF) that are applied from the outside in, ShiftLeft takes a proactive approach. It helps prevent issues from arising in the first place, making it much easier for both security teams and developers. It's also cost-effective because you don't have to constantly go back, make changes to the code, and then push it again. Writing secure code from the start ensures that there are no vulnerabilities when it goes live. So, I would say the main features of ShiftLeft are its cost-effectiveness and ease of adaptability or use.

We maintain high code standards with effective static code analysis and integration
SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) could be improved on the reporting front. Instead of grouping, I would prefer to scan the code as part of development and then generate a report on a daily basis among different units or projects, which is currently complicated. We need to change it to more of a portfolio report, where configuring or setting up things on the portfolio requires tagging at the ADO level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."
"I like that it has a better dashboard compared to Clockwork. It's also stable."
"For what it is meant to do, it works pretty well."
"My advice to others is this solution is one of the best in the free market in the industry and it is a good one to use."
"This solution is simple to use and can be quickly deployed."
"All the features of the solution are quite good."
"What I like about SonarQube is the integration of the pipelines."
"SonarQube is a Code Quality Assurance tool that collects and analyzes source code and provides reports on the code quality of your project."
"The fact that the solution does security scanning is valuable."
 

Cons

"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."
"A robust credential scanner would be a huge bonus as it would remove the need for yet another niche product with additional cost, also gives the benefit of a single pane of glass view, although we still need WhiteSource Bolt for third-party library scanning."
"The reporting can be improved."
"However, it takes a fair amount of effort to figure out how to get everything up and running."
"There isn't a very good enterprise report. They also do not have an application report."
"SonarQube could be improved with more dynamic testing—basically, now, it's a static code analysis scan."
"Having performance regression would be a helpful add on or ability to be able to do during the scan."
"Code security could be better. They are already focusing on it, but I see a lot of improvement opportunities over there. I can see a lot of false positives in terms of security. They need to make the tests more accurate so that the false positives are not detected so frequently. It would also help if they provided us with an installer."
"In the next release, I would like to have notifications because now, it is a bit difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The costs for this application, for the kind of job it does, are pretty decent."
"It is very expensive. Its price should be improved."
"I think comparing the product to competitors it should be less expensive."
"As a user and a consumer of this solution, it can be pricey for my company to support and use, even though there are many benefits. For this reason, we use the free version. In the future, as our product cycles develop and evolve at a more steady pace, we hope to invest in the licensing for this tool."
"People can try the free licenses and later can seek buying plugins/support, etc. once they started liking it."
"We are using the Developer Edition and the cost is based on the amount of code that is being processed."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"I requested this license for one million lines of code and they accepted this."
