Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's enabled us to improve software quality and help us to disseminate best practices.""We have worked with the support from SonarQube and we have had good experiences.""It is very good at identifying technical debt.""The solution has a wide variety of features and an open-source community that you are able to learn Java, JavaScript, or any other programing language.""The SonarQube dashboard looks great.""Using SonarQube benefits us because we are able to avoid the inclusion of malware in our applications.""I like that it's easy to navigate not just in terms of code findings but you can actually see them in the context of your source code because it gives you a copy of your code with the items that it found and highlights them. You can see it directly in your code, so you can easily go back and make the corrections in the code. It basically finds the problems for you and tells you where they are.""The code coverage feature is very good."

Cons
"If there was an official Docker image of SonarQube that could easily integrate into the pipeline would help the user to plug in and plug out and use it directly without any custom configuration. I am not sure if this is being offered already in an update but it would be very helpful.""It would be better if SonarQube provided a good UI for external configuration.""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.""We called support and complained but have not received any information as we use the free version. We had to fix it on our own and could not escalate it to the tool's developer.""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.""The solution could improve by providing more advanced technologies.""After scanning our code and generating a report, it would be helpful if SonarQube could also generate a solution to fix vulnerabilities in the report.""Lacks sufficient visibility and documentation."

    Overview

    SonarQube is a self-managed open-source platform that helps developers create code devoid of quality and vulnerability issues. By integrating seamlessly with the top DevOps platforms in the Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline, SonarQube continuously inspects projects across multiple programming languages, providing immediate status feedback while coding. SonarQube’s quality gates become part of your release pipeline, displaying pass/fail results for new code based on quality profiles you customize to your company standards. Following Sonar’s Clean as You Code methodology guarantees that only software of the highest quality makes it to production.

    At its core, SonarQube includes a static code analyzer that identifies bugs, security vulnerabilities, hidden secrets, and code smells. The platform guides you through issue resolution, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. SonarQube’s comprehensive reporting is a valuable tool for dev teams to monitor their codebase's overall health and quality across multiple projects in their portfolio. With SonarQube, you can achieve a state of Clean Code, leading to secure, reliable, and maintainable software.

    Sonar is the only solution combining the power of industry-leading software quality analysis with static application security testing (SAST) and real-time coding guidance in the IDE (with SonarLint) to meet the DevOps and DevSecOps demand of putting agility, automation, and security in the hands of developers. Further accelerate DevOps continuous integration by helping developers find and fix issues in code before the software testing stage, reducing the churn of finding, fixing, rebuilding, and retesting your app.

    With over 5,000 Clean Code rules, SonarQube analyzes 30+ of the most popular programming languages, including dozens of frameworks, the top DevOps platforms (GitLab, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket, and more), and the leading infrastructure as code (IaC) platforms.

    SonarQube is the most trusted static code analyzer used by over 7 million developers and 400,000 organizations globally to clean over half a trillion lines of code.

    Virsec Security Platform (VSP) is an enterprise cybersecurity solution that continuously protects application, web and host workloads against advanced cyber threats and neutralizes zero-day exploits with zero dwell time (milliseconds). The Virsec Security Platform (VSP) aligns with Zero Trust Architectural approaches and presents a portfolio of compensating security controls that automate the enforcement of runtime execution of authorized processes, scripts, libraries and dependencies that harden Windows and Linux Host OS (Operating System) server, application, and web workloads at runtime.
