Vitthal Gole - PeerSpot reviewer
Devops Engineer at AIQOD
Automated code checks have improved quality gates and prevent weak code from reaching production
SonarQube could improve by reducing false positives in its static code analysis; while its detection capabilities are strong, some findings require manual verification, increasing developers' workload. More accurate analysis would enhance productivity, and SonarQube would benefit from enhanced AI-powered recommendations for fixing issues. For instance, in our pipeline, if it fails during SonarQube stage, we could check the dashboard for identified issues involving code smells, bugs, or duplicacy. An AI feature should be integrated into SonarQube to resolve issues quickly; optimizing scanning performance for very large repositories and providing faster analysis times would enhance the developer experience, especially in large code bases with frequent commits. For anyone planning to implement SonarQube, I advise starting by defining coding standards first and integrating Quality Gates into the pipeline. You can customize quality profiles to match project requirements; rather than relying entirely on default rules, you can adjust settings for stronger detection and enforcement. Organizations with advanced security, branch analysis, and governance features might consider commercial editions based on their needs.

Useful for cloud data protection, particularly for email and file-sharing systems
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 should also expand integration from the public cloud to the private cloud and add Cloud DLP and CASB features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use SonarQube to find vulnerabilities in the source code, for better code quality, and code security."
"It is a good deal compared to all other tools on the market."
"SonarQube is a very good tool for code quality."
"We've been able to improve the quality of the products that we produce by using SonarQube."
"We consider it a handy tool that helps to resolve our issues immediately."
"The most valuable features are the dashboard, the ability to drill down to the code, the technical debt estimation and the overall user-friendliness of the user interface."
"Offers multi-programming language support"
"The overall quality of the indicator is good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Trend Micro Cloud App Security is its stability across all platforms."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"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 Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"This is a very dependable solution and we are able to have a lot of Trend Micro security products integrated between each other."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of features missing in the free version of SonarQube that I want to have that already exist in Checkmarx."
"The BPM language is important and should be considered in SonarQube."
"Dynamic scanning is missing and there are some issues with security scanning."
"It requires advanced heuristics to recognize more complex constructs that could be disregarded as issues."
"The solution has a very shallow SAST scanning; that is something that can be improved."
"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."
"SonarQube can improve by scanning the internal library which currently it does not do. We are looking for a solution for this."
"Technical support could be better. If we request support, it's a little bit delayed, and it's not consistent on email."
"The pricing of this solution is quite high, about double what other similar solutions cost."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"The granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"The cost of the license is on the high side."
"The solution's technical support services could be better."
"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 price of the solution could improve by being lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The current pricing is quite cheap."
"We are using the Developer Edition and the cost is based on the amount of code that is being processed."
"We're using an older version because it is the open-source flavor of it and we can continue using it at no cost. We're not paying any licensing at all, which was another factor in choosing this route so that we can learn and grow with it and not be committed to licenses and other similar things. If we choose to get something else, we have to relearn, but we don't have to relicense. Basically, we're paying no license costs."
"The licence is standard open source licensing"
"SonarQube is a cost-effective solution."
"The price of this solution is more expensive than competitors. However, it works better than competitors."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"We are using the Community edition of SonarQube."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"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."
