SonarQube Reviews

We find it very similar to Fortify and has the same advantages. 

The web interface is very good. 

We have found the solution to be stable. 

The solution offers a very good community edition.

There isn't a very good enterprise report. They also do not have an application report. We'd like for them to work on this aspect.

I've used the solution for three years. I've used it for a while now. 

In terms of stability, the solution is reliable and the performance is good. There are no bugs. It's not glitchy. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

I've never used technical support. I can't talk about how helpful they are, never spoken with them personally.

If I do need to troubleshoot, I tend to rely on the community and search for answers there. 

We've also used Fortify.

I didn't participate in the installation process. I can't speak to how easy or difficult the process was. 

I use the community version of the product.

We are a customer and an end-user.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It's mostly reliable. 

We use SonarCloud tools for all our 20 repositories and we are connecting the SonarCloud, from the Bitbucket pipeline.

The reports from SonarCloud are very good.

We had some issues with the scanner.

I have been using SonarCloud for approximately three weeks.

The solution is stable.

SonarCloud is scalable.

We plan to increase our package to the enterprise edition and decrease the lines of code in the future.

We have not needed the support at this time.

We previously used Codacy. We switch to SonarCloud because of their good reputation and we compared reports from both of them. SonarCloud seems to be more accurate. However, Codacy has a simpler installation. SonarCloud has more steps involved.

The solution is straightforward to implement. Some of the implementations can be quick.

The installation of the framwork was a bit difficult, it could be improved.

The price of SonarCloud could be less expensive. We are using the community version and the price should be more reasonable.

We have purchased a license for 2 million lines of code. However, we have 10 million lines of code but it would be too costly for us to have a license for all the amount.

I would recommend SonarCloud to others.

I rate SonarCloud a nine out of ten.

I use SonarQube for Google's web services, from a security perspective, as well as Oracle Forms, HTML Forms, and script. 

SonarQube is deployed on-premises. 

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.

SonarQube's detail in the security could be improved. It may be helpful to have additional details, with regards to Oracle PL/SQL. For example, it's neither as built nor as thorough as Java. For now, this is the only additional feature I would like to see. 

I have been working with the Community Edition for at least ten years, and I have been working with the Enterprise version for about a year. 

So far, we are happy and haven't had any issues with stability.

The only maintenance this product needs, for now, is just updates and patches. 

SonarQube is an auditing requirement from our side and for our SDLC, so it is a gate in our SDLC. 

SonarQube is easy to scale. As we've opted for the Docker builds, we haven't had issues yet. 

At this point, there are at least 300 people in my company who are working with SonarQube. 

I have minor experience with Q One. The main difference is in the licensing structure, with regards to lines of code. We have noticed that Q One has a bit more details, but support for various languages is lacking. 

The setup process of SonarQube is straightforward. Deployment took about a week, but the integration of the multiple teams—introducing them and getting them on board—took about a month. 

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

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. 

I rate SonarQube an eight out of ten. 

To anyone who is looking into implementing SonarQube, I would recommend they look at what their requirements are, with regards to languages. If it's just Java, then the Community Edition is fine, but if there are any additional languages, then I would recommend Enterprise. 

It is mainly used as part of the CI/CD pipeline through Azure DevOps and Jenkins to do static code analysis.

We have the enterprise version. In terms of deployment, on-premise is the best description because they have their own cloud, but it is not a real cloud. It is like VMware.

In some instances, the project stakeholders were able to implement quality gate control for code coverage, security alerts, and things like that. It greatly improved the quality of the product. If our test code coverage is 80% and a person commits a change that brings the code coverage to below 80%, that code cannot be merged. We've been able to improve the quality of the products that we produce by using SonarQube. We are using it as a gate.

It is a great tool in a situation where you have a dynamic team, and you sometimes hire staff or subcontractors from other companies. It provided us with the ability to implement quality gates in our project. We could look at the data and see which developers were producing quality code and which developers were not too worried about the quality. It helped us out with our junior devs. I know of a few cases where having this system helped our junior devs in taking their skills one level up because we had set up a hard quality gate.

My focus is mainly on the DevOps pipeline side of things, and from my perspective, the ease of use and configuration is valuable. It is pretty straightforward to take a deployment pipeline or CI/CD pipeline and integrate SonarQube into it.

A little bit more emphasis on security and a bit more security scanning features would be nice. 

It would also be nice if the discrepancy between the basic or free version and the enterprise version was less. In my opinion, some of the base functionality in the enterprise version should be in the basic version.

Currently, we have static code scanning, and we have the scanning of the Docker containers. It would be great if some sort of penetration testing could easily be implemented in SonarQube for deploying something and doing some basic security scans. Currently, we have to use third-party tools for that. If everything was all under one roof, it would be more comfortable, but I don't know if it is possible or feasible. It is a typical issue of centralization versus distribution. In our particular case, because we're using SonarQube for almost every other project, it would make sense, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is the same case with everybody else.

I have been using this solution for four years in my current job.

I don't think I ever had a problem.

We haven't reached a point where it is anywhere near saturation. We haven't scaled it yet, and I don't know if it will ever happen. The way it is implemented right now is more than enough for what we need. 

We have used it in almost all projects of our client. It is a part of their process. It is used extensively, and it will be used for any future work that they might have where they develop any code that can be analyzed with SonarQube.

We probably have 30 or 40 users. Their roles are developer team leads, developers, and DevOps people. These are the three roles of people who use it on a daily basis and look at the reports and work with the system. At some point, the data might be shown to the actual client or somebody else.

I've never been in a situation where I needed their support.

I don't think that we used anything else previously. SonarQube was the first one.

It was straightforward. I wasn't technically involved in the deployment of SonarQube, but as far as I know, it was a matter of a few days.

We probably just bought the license and did it ourselves. For its deployment and maintenance, we don't have a dedicated person. It is one of the many systems that our internal IT team manages.

I don't have that data. I don't think that we've ever calculated that. 

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.

It is pretty straightforward, but if you don't intend to use it as a gate, it would just be a waste of time. You should invest in implementing such tools only when you have a clear understanding of how their results are going to be a part of a business process.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10. I've never had any kind of problems with it. I have some products because of which I have had a bad day, but I never had a bad day because of it.

I use SonarQube for testing software.

The solution can verify vulnerabilities, code smells, and hotspots. It makes the software more secure and it helps make a junior or novice developer sharper.

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.

In the next release, they should add the ability to analyze containers.

I have been using SonarQube for approximately three years.

We have mostly software developers using this solution are there are approximately 50 using it.

I have used Snyk and it is more catered to a different audience than SolarQube.SolarQube is more for software developers.

The installation is straightforward, especially with the new Docker implementation.

I did the implementation of the solution myself.

The process of purchasing the solution could improve.

This solution is a good static test tool for developers. It helps keep the maintainability and security of software.

I rate SonarQube an eight out of ten.

We use it as a gatekeeper for our external developers to follow the rules. If they don't comply with the rules within the source code, they cannot commit. 

It is working fine. It provides good value for money.

One thing to improve would be the integration. There is a steep learning curve to get it integrated.

I have been using this solution for maybe two years.

It is stable.

It is definitely scalable. Currently, we have six users.

We didn't contact them.

This was our first one.

Its initial setup is okay. It is not too difficult. It probably took a couple of hours.

One developer is enough for its deployment.

We pay €10 per month for this solution, which is good. It provides good value for money.

I would recommend this solution to others. I would rate SonarQube a nine out of 10.

SonarQube can be used to analyze application code. We are testing SonarQube with some of our other products. We use the Sonar Link plugin with Teamscale, which is then applied to the main product we are using.

I am only interested in the security features in SonarQube. There are plenty of features other features, such as test coverage, code anomalies, and pointer access are handled by the business logic teams. They get the reports and they have to fix them in JIRA or Bugzilla.

We have to combine several products in order to cover as many flaws that might exist in the code. We have to integrate several products to set the security functionality of the product. SonarQube should have better functionality to cover all areas of security limiting our need for other products.

We have tens of millions of code to be analyzed and processed. There can be some performance degradation if we are applying Sonar Link to large code or code that is complex. When the code had to be analyzed is when we ran into the main issues. There were several routines involved to solve those performance issues but this process should be improved.

I have been using this solution for approximately three years.

There can be some stability issues.

I have used Veracode.

I have evaluated many other solutions similar to SonarQube.

I rate SonarQube a six out of ten.

We use SonarQube for testing, reviewing, and ensuring the quality of application code.

The most valuable features are the analysis and detection of issues within the application code.

The solution could improve by providing more advanced technologies.

I have been using the solution within the last 12 months.

The SonarQube is stable.

The installation is easy.

The price of this solution is more expensive than competitors. However, it works better than competitors.

I have evaluated other solutions.

I rate SonarQube an eight out of ten.
