The solution helps users to manage their entire IP range, but it's unreliable and very expensive to maintain

Only the administrator was using the product. He used it to read reports as part of our compliance programs. It wasn't heavily used by a lot of users. The tool comes in at a large scale, and we tried to scale it down. The scaling did not apply to us. It was neither difficult nor easy. I rate the scalability a five out of ten. We had some challenges while scaling it down. It could do 10,000 devices, and we wanted to use it for ten devices. The process was difficult and expensive. We did not need the product anymore.

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

"Tripwire is one of the most mature in terms of companies, suites, support, everything, much more than any other product."

"Tripwire IP360 is a very stable solution."

"It has enhanced the security program by ensuring that all external-facing systems are scanned on a routine basis."

"This product detects vulnerabilities which exist in the environment, and provides enough information that allows for remediation, thereby securing the environment."

"The company probably chose this solution because they thought that they would be getting the best bang for their buck."

"It's become the pinnacle point for anything that enters the network or anything that's passing through to production to first be affected by IP360, hardened, and up to standard. For our integrity management, one was deployed in the bank about two years ago and that's still going to expand the usage and the product itself. That will go hand in hand with training and expanding the product as for where it's deployed."

"Tripwire IP360 helps me to discover most of the vulnerabilities, and I like the way that it prioritizes these vulnerabilities, as it allows me to focus on the most important ones first and then follow up with the rest."

"We could manage our entire IP range with the solution."

"The good thing with SonarQube is it covers a lot of issues, it's a very robust framework."

"I am only interested in the security features in SonarQube."

"This is a good solution if you are looking for good coverage, quality, and vulnerabilities to be highlighted."

"The solution is stable."

"It provides you with many features, as it does with the premium model, but there are still extra features that can be purchased if needed."

"There is a free version."

"We were trying to serve two purposes; work quality and code security, with one tool."

"SonarQube Cloud (formerly SonarCloud) has had a positive impact on my organization by giving the best impact for code checking and code structuring, making the code more usable and better."

More SonarQube pros

Cons

"The reporting functions can use improvement."

"I am not very impressed by the technical support."

"We need to dedicate time and resources to keep it running."

"The reporting functions can use improvement. There is room for growth because reporting functions differ a lot depending on what you're going to output. It depends on whether it's for technical or senior management and how it's interpreted. There could be growth within the reporting functionality side."

"If you are looking for better reporting capabilities and vulnerability tracking over time for remediation purposes, then this is not the best solution."

"We would like to have better reporting capabilities and for them to be more granular."

"For IP360, unfortunately, scans for certain vulnerabilities often cause issues, as they are mainly false positive."

"It is very expensive."

"The only pain area for us is due to the fact that we purchased the 1 million lines of code license for now."

"SonarQube could improve by adding automatic creation of tasks after scanning and more supported languages."

"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."

"Response to queries directly to SonarSource haven't always been particularly successful, but the community forum is pretty good."

"Currently requires multiple tools, lacking one overall tool."

"There isn't a very good enterprise report."

"The BPM language is important and should be considered in SonarQube."

More SonarQube cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product was expensive for us."

"I believe the price compares well within the market."

"We're using the Community Edition, and we don't pay for anything."

"SonarQube is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."

"SonarQube is a fairly affordable solution for a larger scale if you have a specific role or specific department for secure code."

"On the pricing side, it's 3,000 Euros for 1 million lines of code."

"The development license cost is reasonable, and we've had no concerns about SonarQube when it comes to cost."

"It's an open-source product."

"The developer edition is based on cost per lines of code."

"We are using the community version of the solution and we plan on purchasing licenses for the upgraded version soon. There is a limitation on how many lines of code can be scanned and this is why we are going to purchase a license for an increased amount."
