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

"SonarQube is one of the more popular solutions because it supports 29 languages."
"Its dashboard provides a unified view of various code quality metrics, including code duplication, unit test coverage, and security hotspots."
"A specific outcome I can share is that after integrating SonarQube into our CI/CD pipeline, we reduced production bugs by 30 to 40 percent and improved code coverage from 65 to 85 percent by enforcing the Quality Gate, along with a 25 percent reduction in technical debt over the last six to seven months post-implementation."
"SonarQube is a very nice tool and people can learn to code better from the analysis it provides."
"The product itself has a friendly UI."
"SonarQube is a Code Quality Assurance tool that collects and analyzes source code and provides reports on the code quality of your project."
"Overall, it's going really well."
"There's plenty of documentation available to users."
"This is a very dependable solution and we are able to have a lot of Trend Micro security products integrated between each other."
"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."
"The solution is easy to integrate."
"Dependable with ease of integration with other security products."
"It has more intelligence features than other vendors."
"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."
"Trend Micro Cloud App is easy to use and easy to install."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"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."
"A better design of the interface and add some new rules."
"We could use some team support, but since we are using the community version, it's not available."
"For improvement, this solution could be offered on Docker and the cloud and the support for this solution could be improved. Customizing rules could also be made simpler."
"The product's user documentation can be vastly improved."
"SonarQube can improve by scanning the internal library which currently it does not do. We are looking for a solution for this."
"Depending on the tool's configuration, sometimes you get false alarms that are unimportant to you."
"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 granulation of the policy setup needs to be better. Right now, it is too basic."
"Documentation could be improved; product cost is quite high."
"In the next release, I would like to see the cost go down."
"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."
"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."
"They should provide separate corporate-level licenses for two to three instances."
"The cost of the license is on the high side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product is open source and very convenient."
"Compared to similar solutions, SonarQube was more accessible to us and had more benefits, with regards to size of the code base and supported languages. Apart from the Enterprise licensing fee, there are no additional costs."
"While not extremely cheap, it aligns well with market standards and offers good value."
"We're using their free Community Edition version."
"Can try developer version for 14 days on the free trial."
"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."
"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."
"For the Community edition, there is no extra cost. It's totally free. The Enterprise edition, Data Center edition, and Developer edition are the paid versions."
"The product's pricing is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The solution's price is mid-ranged."
"The cost of the license is on the high side. It's a yearly subscription."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution could be better."
