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

"We use this solution for qualitative coding. We make use of the SonarLint plugin as well as the dashboard."
"The code coverage feature is very good."
"It automatically scans for code, detects vulnerabilities, and generates daily reports."
"The most valuable features are the segregation containment and the suspension of product services."
"My focus is mainly on the DevOps pipeline side of things, and from my perspective, the ease of use and configuration is valuable. It is pretty straightforward to take a deployment pipeline or CI/CD pipeline and integrate SonarQube into it."
"The freemium version of SonarQube Server offers excellent value, especially compared to the high costs of Snyk."
"SonarQube is admin friendly."
"It is working fine. It provides a good value for money."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"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."
"Trend Micro has DLP features in it, which separates it from other solutions."
"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."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"You may need to purchase add-ons to get the useability you desire."
"The product's user documentation can be vastly improved."
"Expression of common vulnerabilities and exposures is not always current."
"During the setup process, we only had one issue related to the number of available files. To perform the analysis, you have quite a lot of available file handles, so we had to increase that limit."
"We did have some trouble with the LDAP integration for the console."
"The handling of the contents of Docker container images could be better."
"A little bit more emphasis on security and a bit more security scanning features would be nice."
"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."
"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 solution's technical support services could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the DLP component of Trend Micro Cloud App Security."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SonarQube is a cost-effective solution."
"The free version of SonarQube does everything that we need it to."
"It is very expensive. Its price should be improved."
"My guess is that we have a yearly subscription. We use it quite extensively, so a monthly license wouldn't make sense. Yearly subscriptions are usually cheaper. In addition to the standard licensing fee, there is just the cost of running the hardware where it is hosted."
"We are using the open-source community version, but there are enterprise licenses available."
"The price point on SonarQube is good."
"People can try the free licenses and later can seek buying plugins/support, etc. once they started liking it."
"I think comparing the product to competitors it should be less expensive."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"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 cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
