Helps to improve knowledge on software security

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."
"I like that it's easy to navigate not just in terms of code findings but you can actually see them in the context of your source code because it gives you a copy of your code with the items that it found and highlights them. You can see it directly in your code, so you can easily go back and make the corrections in the code. It basically finds the problems for you and tells you where they are."
"It is an easy tool that you can deploy and configure. After that you can measure the history of your obligation and integrate it with other tools like GitLab or GitHub or Azure DevOps to do quality code analysis."
"With SonarQube's web interface, it is easy to drill down to see the individual problems, but also to look at the project from above and get the big picture, with possible larger problem areas."
"We've configured it to run on each commit, providing feedback on our software quality. ]"
"The software quality gate streamlines the product's quality."
"There are many options and examples available in the tool that help us fix the issues it shows us."
"Engineers have also learned from the results and have improved themselves as engineers. This will help them with their careers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."
 

Cons

"I would like the tool to integrate AI and automation that is dedicated to detecting software vulnerabilities."
"One thing to improve would be the integration. There is a steep learning curve to get it integrated."
"SonarQube needs to improve its ease of use, integration with third-party platforms, and scalability."
"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."
"Technical support and the price could be better."
"After scanning our code and generating a report, it would be helpful if SonarQube could also generate a solution to fix vulnerabilities in the report."
"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."
"Currently requires multiple tools, lacking one overall tool."
"The solution could improve by providing more advanced technologies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The development license cost is reasonable, and we've had no concerns about SonarQube when it comes to cost."
"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."
"The price point on SonarQube is good."
"Can try developer version for 14 days on the free trial."
"We use the free version; there are no hidden costs or licensing required."
"The developer edition is based on cost per lines of code."
"Get the paid version which allows the customized dashboard and provides technical support."
"On the pricing side, it's 3,000 Euros for 1 million lines of code."
