Cloud & Devsecops Lead Engineer at Aon Corporation
Integrated workflows have transformed security reviews and provide end-to-end risk visibility
The best features that Ox Security offers include real-time visibility and actionable intelligence. Also, I love the intuitive interface and seamless integrations. Regarding the features of Ox Security, I love the pipeline functionality, which allows the creation of customized workflows based on scan results, making prevention and notification processes highly adaptable. I also love the visibility it provides, which is end-to-end security visibility covering the entire development lifecycle from code writing and storage to security testing, deployment, and infrastructure management. I also love its powerful pipeline system, which enables us to automate notifications to relevant teams based on issue origin and type while also enforcing security policies by blocking new code when prohibited issue types are detected. The intuitive interface makes it easy to pinpoint vulnerabilities early, prioritize critical issues, and streamline remediation processes. The seamless integration with existing DevOps tools ensures that security insights flow naturally into development workflows without creating bottlenecks. I also love the real-time visibility and actionable intelligence. It fosters a security-first mindset, boosting both the confidence of my development team and the overall resilience of our applications. Regarding Ox Security's AI capabilities, I find its governance and security capabilities to be very strong, particularly in helping us identify risks and maintaining visibility across the software development process. I also value the focus on data protection, access control, and responsible use of AI. The AI capabilities are generally accurate and reliable, especially in helping us identify vulnerabilities and highlighting potential risks very easily. They help us reduce manual effort and speed up security reviews.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"As a service provider, I believe the biggest advantage of Ox Security is its simplicity and the clarity of the issues, along with a very good dashboard showing the state of the company."
"The seamless integration with existing DevOps tools ensures that security insights flow naturally into development workflows without creating bottlenecks."
"Ox Security has positively impacted my organization by helping to reduce the amount of noise we received from vulnerabilities because of the prioritization scoring it has and all of the context it provides."
"Using SonarQube benefits us because we are able to avoid the inclusion of malware in our applications."
"The customizable dashboard and ability to include results and coverage from unit test and other static analysis code tools."
"The most valuable feature is the security hotspot feature that identifies where your code is prone to have security issues."
"The fact that the solution does security scanning is valuable."
"SonarQube is good in terms of code review and to report on basic vulnerabilities in your applications."
"The static code analysis is very good."
"Some of the most valuable features have been the latest up-to-date of the OWASP, the monitoring, the reporting, and the ease of use with the IDE plugins, in terms of integration."
"The overall quality of the indicator is good."
 

Cons

"The main pain point I have with Ox Security as a tool is the user interface, which can feel quite complex when navigating large datasets."
"One area that Ox Security could improve is the dashboard customization and reporting."
"My overall review rating for Ox Security is zero."
"The interface could be a little better and should be enhanced."
"There's room for improvement in the configuration process, particularly during the initial setup phase."
"The solution could improve by having better-consulting services."
"SonarQube Cloud could improve its vulnerability detection compared to Veracode. Additionally, it has fewer capabilities, which prompted us to use Veracode."
"The tool needs to be more compatible with C/C++ language"
"Currently requires multiple tools, lacking one overall tool."
"The software testing tool capability could improve. It does not always integrate well. You have to use a specific plugin and the plugin does not always go in Apple's applications."
"I think the code security can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is very expensive. Its price should be improved."
"My guess is that we have a yearly subscription. We use it quite extensively, so a monthly license wouldn't make sense. Yearly subscriptions are usually cheaper. In addition to the standard licensing fee, there is just the cost of running the hardware where it is hosted."
"The price point on SonarQube is good."
"We use the solution free of cost."
"It's an open-source solution, with no additional costs."
"There is both a free and licensed version. The free version has limitations on development languages and support."
"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."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
