Helps to improve knowledge on software security

Sr Software Engineering Supervisor at Mozarc Medical
Gains control over rule customization and achieves reliable vulnerability assessment
The deployment process took me about 2 or 3 hours to deploy SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube), although I do not remember exactly since it was done about 2 years back. Currently, about 10 of my developers are using SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) in my company. I do not have plans to increase the usage of SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) in the future as there will not be any requirement to increase. I am a senior software engineer and supervisor at Mozark Medical. My corporate email address is karthik.k.a.r.t.h.i.k.h.a.r.p.a.n.h.a.l.l.i@mozarkmedical.com. Overall, I would rate SonarQube Server (formerly SonarQube) as a 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."
"It is working fine. It provides a good value for money."
"The feature I find most valuable are Quick access to issues in the code, the ability to define your own analysis profiles, and easy integration with Jenkins."
"We have worked with the support from SonarQube and we have had good experiences."
"Before you even compile, it can catch known vulnerability issues or patterns."
"The most valuable feature is the security hotspot feature that identifies where your code is prone to have security issues."
"The stability is good."
"The most valuable features are the analysis and detection of issues within the application code."
"The most valuable features of SonarCloud are the ability to discover vulnerabilities, security weak points, security hotspots, and all the feedback that comes into the feature branch."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
"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."
"The solution is a bit lacking on the security side, in terms of finding and identifying vulnerabilities."
"However, it takes a fair amount of effort to figure out how to get everything up and running."
"In terms of what can be improved, the areas that need more attention in the solution are its architecture and development."
"The solution has a very shallow SAST scanning; that is something that can be improved."
"The time it took for me to do the whole process was approximately two hours because I had to download, read the documentation, and do the configurations."
"The solution needs to improve its customization and flexibility."
"The exporting capabilities could be improved. Currently, exporting is fully dependent on the SonarQube environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product’s price is lower than Veracode’s price."
"There are many different packages with different pricing options available. We are able to try what we have and if we need extra features we can upgrade the license."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"As a user and a consumer of this solution, it can be pricey for my company to support and use, even though there are many benefits. For this reason, we use the free version. In the future, as our product cycles develop and evolve at a more steady pace, we hope to invest in the licensing for this tool."
"The current pricing is quite cheap."
"The costs for this application, for the kind of job it does, are pretty decent."
"I use the full trial version of SonarQube."
