Featured Reviews

Sathyamurthi Natarajan - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Officer (Solution Architect) at World Bank
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.
Jos Badimo - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at BAMS
Test assurance improves compliance and products with good performance
The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation. The most significant issue I encounter with the solution is the user interface. It would be beneficial if I could remain on one screen most of the time. Even if the system navigates me to another screen, it should effectively return me to the main screen.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Apart from the security point of view, I like that it makes it easy to detect code smells and other issues in terms of code quality and standards."
"Stability has never been a problem."
"SonarQube's unit test coverage and exhaustive information at the module, project, and overall code repo levels are quite good."
"This is a very nice product and I would recommend it."
"The ability to tailor metrics tracking with SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) has been beneficial to my team and stakeholders as we are able to get portfolio reports and project-wise reports, though there are areas for improvement."
"I like that it has a better dashboard compared to Clockwork. It's also stable."
"The most valuable feature is the security hotspot feature that identifies where your code is prone to have security issues."
"I would recommend SonarQube; it is a good deal compared to all other tools on the market and certainly helped us, it is a good tool and should be definitely used."
"Our customers use it to check for unauthorized file transfer."
"CyberFlood is flexible."
"CyberFlood is bundled and basic, but it's still powerful and easy to use, and I would recommend it, especially for beginners."
"The feature I find most valuable is the traffic generator."
"If any customer doubts their existing network security policy this is a perfect product to analyze their network security and even existing processes."
"CyberFlood's best features are its user-friendliness and scheduling function."
"The testing compliance feature is particularly impressive."
 

Cons

"This solution finds issues that are similar to what is found by Checkmarx, and it would be nice if the overlap could be eliminated."
"There is room for improvement in the code security space which is not as extensive as it could be. There are other products on the market which are much better in terms of code security scanning."
"It would be helpful if notifications could go out to an extra person."
"Improvements could be made in terms of security. I would like to see dynamic code analysis in the next version of the software."
"When we have a thousand products published over it, we expect it to be more efficient in terms of serving requests from the browser."
"The product needs to integrate other security tools for security scanning."
"SonarQube is not development-centric like Snyk."
"We previously experienced issues with security but a segregated security violation has been implemented and the issues we experienced are being fixed."
"The user interface could be improved to facilitate easier navigation."
"I would also like to see updates on a more frequent schedule."
"Sometimes, when you configure parameters the hardware can't run, it will get stuck at those points without telling you what happened. It would be helpful if the error reporting provided more details about why the test setting is not running. It would be nice if there were a space in the hardware module for you to add some external hardware for more rigorous testing."
"The solution needs more ports, more speed, and more gigabytes."
"The initial setup is not straightforward and can be quite challenging."
"CyberFlood's accessibility and support for multiple browsers could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a license with 125,000 lines of code. We did not purchase a lot of lines but it is specific to our code environment."
"This solution is free."
"We are using the free, unlicensed version."
"We are using the open-source community version, but there are enterprise licenses available."
"This is open source."
"I do not know about the pricing as I am using the community edition, which is free. But I compared the pricing with Sigma, and it is higher than SonarQube."
"The current pricing is quite cheap."
"We're using the Community Edition, and we don't pay for anything."
"CyberFlood is reasonably priced."
