This solution is simple to use and can be quickly deployed
We use SonarQube to check for vulnerabilities and quality.  The solution has helped us to find flaws in the Syntax and comply with requirements.  I have found the most valuable features to be scanning for bugs or fixing the hotspot. These features have helped to improve the code quality.  I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ReversingLabs has a large sample size."
"As far as static analysis information is concerned, we use most of the information that is available in order to determine whether or not we might be dealing with a malware variant. This includes information that is related to Java rules. This is also related to malware families indicated or specific malicious software variants that are labeled by name."
"It offers reports on a great many more file types than the other analysis solutions we have. It can give us a more in-depth analysis and better reporting on a larger number of file types. It also gives us a more comprehensive score on a number of things as well, and that's why we're using it as a front-end filter. It gives us more information... It's valuable because of its depth of information, as well as the breadth it gives us. There aren't a lot of tools that cover all of the different file types."
"The automated static analysis of malware is the most valuable feature. Its detection abilities are very good. It hits all of the different platforms out there, platforms that see the items in the wild."
"As far as the malware repository is concerned, it's extensive. It's a good source for finding samples, where we are unable to find them on other channels or by leveraging other sources."
"Code Convention: Using the tool to implement some sort of coding convention is really useful and ensures that the code is consistent no matter how many contributors."
"It's enabled us to improve software quality and help us to disseminate best practices."
"SonarQube is one of the more popular solutions because it supports 29 languages."
"The reporting and the results are quick. It gets integrated within the pipeline well."
"Before you even compile, it can catch known vulnerability issues or patterns."
"Can tweak rules and feed them into our build pipelines."
"SonarQube is good in terms of code review and to report on basic vulnerabilities in your applications."
"The most valuable feature of SonarQube I have found to be the configuration that has allowed us to can make adjusts to the demands of the code review. It gives a specified classification regarding the skill, prioritization, and it is easy for me to review and make my code."
 

Cons

"I would like to see if we could do a little bit more of bulk uploading of hash sets. Right now, I can only do them individually."
"The product support could be better at times. Sometimes, the resources that they provide could be of higher quality."
"While the company is very helpful, it would be very much appreciated to have extensive proof of concept scripts for the different APIs available, though not for all the APIs that we have purchased. Respective scripts are available, but those scripts which are available are typically not of very high quality."
"We would really like further integration with our threat intelligence platform, which is called ThreatConnect. We would also really like further integrations with an endpoint protection product we use called Tanium. The reason I mentioned both of these is that ReversingLabs claims to have extensive integrations with both of them, but they did not work for us."
"The solution needs to improve integrations."
"The solution is a bit lacking on the security side, in terms of finding and identifying vulnerabilities."
"I would like to see more options for security, beyond the basics like SQL injection."
"A better design of the interface and add some new rules."
"In terms of what can be improved, the areas that need more attention in the solution are its architecture and development."
"Code security could be better. They are already focusing on it, but I see a lot of improvement opportunities over there. I can see a lot of false positives in terms of security. They need to make the tests more accurate so that the false positives are not detected so frequently. It would also help if they provided us with an installer."
"The documentation is not clear and it needs to be updated."
"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 reporting can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a yearly contract based on the number of queries and malicious programs which can be processed."
"Currently, the license number of lookups that we purchased has not been reached yet, because the integration has only recently been completed. However, our usage is expected and planned to increase over the next couple of months."
"On the pricing side, it's 3,000 Euros for 1 million lines of code."
"We use the free version; there are no hidden costs or licensing required."
"The developer edition is based on cost per lines of code."
"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."
"I think comparing the product to competitors it should be less expensive."
"We use the tool's community edition."
"The free version of SonarQube does everything that we need it to."
"This product is open source and very convenient."
