Helps to improve knowledge on software security

Wang Dayong - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to integrate and has a plug-in that supports both C and C++ languages
The product provides false reports sometimes. It also fails to understand the context of the code. It reports that a line of code has issues without considering its relation with the previous line. The product should improve the report quality. While it asks us to improve the code quality, it would be good if it also suggests how to improve the quality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I used the tool to prepare for the interview as a Business Developer. It helped me improve my understanding on software security."
"Engineers have also learned from the results and have improved themselves as engineers. This will help them with their careers."
"SonarQube is scalable. My company has 50 users."
"Strong code evaluation for budget-minded clients."
"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)."
"It is very good at identifying technical debt."
"I like that it covers most programming languages for source code review."
"The code coverage feature is very good."
"It provides the security that is required from a solution for financial businesses."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
"It requires advanced heuristics to recognize more complex constructs that could be disregarded as issues."
"There needs to be a shareable reporting piece or something we can click and generate easily."
"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."
"Any suggestions for potential improvements may include bill of materials functionality."
"Dynamic scanning is missing and there are some issues with security scanning."
"The product provides false reports sometimes."
"Having performance regression would be a helpful add on or ability to be able to do during the scan."
"In terms of analysis and findings, other tools provide more in-depth insights and detailed steps to mitigate or handle issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"SonarQube price is a little bit higher than Kiuwan's. Kiuwan also gives a little bit of flexibility in terms of pricing."
"It is very expensive. Its price should be improved."
"The licence is standard open source licensing"
"The costs for this application, for the kind of job it does, are pretty decent."
"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 are using the open-source community version, but there are enterprise licenses available."
"I use the full trial version of SonarQube."
"The solution is cheaper than other products."
