Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It uses machine learning algorithms to detect attacks and manage API inventory."
"I like that it has a better dashboard compared to Clockwork. It's also stable."
"The static code analysis is very good."
"I like the by-default policies that are they, as they seem to cover most of what I need."
"Issue Explanations: Documentation with detailed samples. Helps in growing technical knowledge and re-writing logic to conforming solutions."
"The product is simple."
"The most valuable features are the dashboard reports and the ease of integrating it with Jenkins."
"I follow Quality Gate's graduation model within organization, and it is extremely helpful for me to benchmark products."
"SonarQube: Recording of issues over a period of time, with an indication of the addition in the new issues or the reduction of existing issues (which were fixed)."
 

Cons

"It is expensive."
"There isn't a very good enterprise report."
"It would be a great add-on if SonarQube could update its database for vulnerabilities or plugging parts."
"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."
"You may need to purchase add-ons to get the useability you desire."
"The product's user documentation can be vastly improved."
"We had some issues scanning the master branch but when we upgraded to version 7.9 we noticed it does scan the master branch but we had to do a workaround for it to happen. This process could be improved in a future release."
"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."
"I don't believe you can have metrics of code quality based upon code analysis. I don't think it's possible for a computer to do it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 price is lower than Veracode’s price."
"We use the free version; there are no hidden costs or licensing required."
"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."
"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."
"We pay €10 per month for this solution, which is good. It provides a good value for money."
"The free version of SonarQube does everything that we need it to."
"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."
