Wang Dayong - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to integrate and has a plug-in that supports both C and C++ languages
The product provides false reports sometimes. It also fails to understand the context of the code. It reports that a line of code has issues without considering its relation with the previous line. The product should improve the report quality. While it asks us to improve the code quality, it would be good if it also suggests how to improve the quality.
Murali Krishnan L - PeerSpot reviewer

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

Pros

"SonarQube: Recording of issues over a period of time, with an indication of the addition in the new issues or the reduction of existing issues (which were fixed)."
"This solution is simple to use and can be quickly deployed."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, easy to access, and they provide good training files."
"The most valuable features are the wide array of languages, multiple languages per project, the breakdown of bugs, and the description of vulnerabilities and code smells (best practices)."
"Some of the static code analysis capabilities are the most beneficial."
"It is very good at identifying technical debt."
"Engineers have also learned from the results and have improved themselves as engineers. This will help them with their careers."
"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."
"Our business emails are very important and Trend Micro Cloud App Security has provided a high level of protection. Additionally, there are updating the solution frequently."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"I find Trend Micro Cloud App Security useful for scanning our email boxes. We can scan them one by one, which is a good feature. It's not just gateway-level protection - we integrate the email system with it. They have special protection and parameters for phishing emails."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
 

Cons

"There is need for support for the additional languages and ease of use in adding new rules for detecting issues."
"The product must improve security analysis."
"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."
"You may need to purchase add-ons to get the useability you desire."
"The solution could improve the management reports by making them easier to understand for the technical team that needs to review them."
"We also use Fortify, which is another tool to find security errors. Fortify is a better security tool. It is better than SonarQube in finding errors. Sometimes, SonarQube doesn't find some of the errors that Fortify is able to find. Fortify also has a community, which SonarQube doesn't have. Its installation is a little bit complex. We need to install a database, install the product, and specify the version of the database and the product. They can simplify the installation and make it easier. We use docker for the installation because it is easier to use. Its dashboard needs to be improved. It is not intuitive. It is hard to understand the interface, and it can be improved to provide a better user experience."
"I find it is light on the security side."
"The implementation of the solution is straightforward. However, we did have some initial initialization issues at the of the projects. I don't think it was SonarQube's fault. It was the way it was implemented in our organization because it's mainly integrated with many software, such as Jira, Confluence, and Butler."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."
"For improvements, I think it would be great if Trend Micro Cloud App Security could enhance their product to be a single SASE solution. It should be similar to competitors like Palo Alto."
"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay €10 per month for this solution, which is good. It provides a good value for money."
"We use the solution free of cost."
"SonarQube is a cost-effective solution."
"I use the full trial version of SonarQube."
"It is very expensive. Its price should be improved."
"We are using the free, unlicensed version."
"I think comparing the product to competitors it should be less expensive."
"A low cost long-term solution for non-critical situations."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"The price of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is expensive for regular users. There are not any hidden fees. First-time users of the solution should purchase implementation packages or professional services."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
