This solution is simple to use and can be quickly deployed
Pros and Cons
  • "This solution is simple to use and can be quickly deployed."
  • "I think the code security can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We use SonarQube to check for vulnerabilities and quality. 

How has it helped my organization?

The solution has helped us to find flaws in the Syntax and comply with requirements. 

What is most valuable?

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. 

What needs improvement?

I think the code security can be improved. Code security should comply with the standard security list. 

I would like to see the feature of Compliance Reporting added to the solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

About ten people in my company are using this solution. On average, we use this solution once in a week. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We chose SonarQube due to its free community edition. After a while, when we will need more features, we will probably purchase the solution next year. 

How was the initial setup?

I would rate the initial setup a ten out of ten. The solution is easy to install and use. It took us only a day to deploy SonarQube. We downloaded the solution and followed the setup process. We simply integrated this solution with Azure DevOps. The maintenance of this solution is handled by one person from the database team. 

What about the implementation team?

We implemented the solution through an in-house application developer. 

What other advice do I have?

This solution is simple to use and can be quickly deployed. I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
