We performed a comparison between SonarQube and Sonatype Repository Firewall based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."SonarQube has a lot of value, it reviews the basic coding standards and security vulnerabilities of code that help to reduce issues."
"There are many options and examples available in the tool that help us fix the issues it shows us."
"I like that it covers most programming languages for source code review."
"We are using the Community edition. So, we don't have to incur any licensing costs. This is the best part."
"It is a very good tool for analysis and security vulnerability checking."
"It provides the security that is required from a solution for financial businesses."
"The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, easy to access, and they provide good training files."
"The solution can verify vulnerabilities, code smells, and hotspots. It makes the software more secure and it helps make a junior or novice developer sharper."
"The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security."
"Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you."
"It would be a great add-on if SonarQube could update its database for vulnerabilities or plugging parts."
"I would also like SonarQube to be able to write custom scanning rules. More documentation would be helpful as well because some of our guys were struggling with the customization script."
"Although it has Sonar built into it, it is still lacking. Customization features of identifying a particular attack still need to be worked on. To give you an example: if we want to scan and do a false positive analysis, those types of features are missing. If we want to rescan something from a particular point that is a feature that is also missing. It’s in our queue. That will hopefully save a lot of time."
"The reporting is good, but I am not able to download a specific report as a PDF, so downloading reports is something that should be looked at."
"In the next release, I would like to have notifications because now, it is a bit difficult. I think that's a feature which we could add there and it would benefit the users as well. For every full request, they should be able to see their bugs or vulnerability directly on the surface."
"The solution is a bit lacking on the security side, in terms of finding and identifying vulnerabilities."
"SonarQube could improve by adding automatic creation of tasks after scanning and more support for the Czech language."
"Technical support and the price could be better."
"What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services."
"The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature."
