Consistent improvements in code quality and security with effective integration and reliable technical support

The features of SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) that I find most useful are the suggestions received from reviewing the code. When they review the code, they provide suggestions on how to fix it, and we find those very useful from a development perspective. We use SonarQube Server's (formerly SonarQube) centralized management and visualization of code quality metrics on the dashboard because that's the executive dashboard that we send to the executives to show where we are in terms of quality, security, and where the company can improve. We use that for organizational improvement purposes. The ability to tailor metrics tracking in SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) has been beneficial to my team. There are team-specific dashboards which are related to specific repositories they utilize, and we have that aggregative dashboard that shows the whole organization's performance. We can drill down per specific repository, which makes it easier for the team to improve specific things.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The static code analysis is very good."

"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)."

"The reporting and the results are quick. It gets integrated within the pipeline well."

"Code Convention: Using the tool to implement some sort of coding convention is really useful and ensures that the code is consistent no matter how many contributors."

"Overall, I would rate SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) as a 9 out of 10."

"SonarQube is one of the more popular solutions because it supports 29 languages."

"Issue Explanations: Documentation with detailed samples. Helps in growing technical knowledge and re-writing logic to conforming solutions."

More SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) pros

"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."

"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"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."

"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."

"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."

"The solution is easy to integrate."

"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."

More Trend Micro Cloud App Security pros

Cons

"It does not provide deeper scanning of vulnerabilities in an application, on a live session. This is something we are not happy about. Maybe the reason for that is we are running the community edition currently, but other editions may improve on that aspect."

"There isn't a very good enterprise report."

"If you don't have any experience with the configuration or how to configure the files, it can be complicated."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"A better design of the interface and add some new rules."

"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."

More SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) cons

"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."

"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."

"The price of the solution could improve by being lower."

"It would be great if Trend Mail Cloud App Security would be joined with a web security solution, making it a multiple-network solution."

"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."

"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."

"The solution's technical support services could be better."

"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."

More Trend Micro Cloud App Security cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a free version and a license version. The license is priced reasonably, the cost of hiring one programmer is more expensive than the solution."

"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."

"A low cost long-term solution for non-critical situations."

"I think comparing the product to competitors it should be less expensive."

"We are using the open-source version, which is available free of cost."

"There are many different packages with different pricing options available. We are able to try what we have and if we need extra features we can upgrade the license."

"The product’s price is lower than Veracode’s price."

"Can try developer version for 14 days on the free trial."

More SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) pricing and cost advice

"The solution's price is mid-ranged."

"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 pricing of the solution could be better."

"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."

"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
