DevOps Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Popular tool for code smell search in the organisation's repositories" August 8, 2023 5.0 Pros Easy-to-administer tool, with good functionality to monitor security part of your code (using SAST methodology), with ability to integrate with Jenkins, GitHub and other tools. You are able to fail the build if the code doesn't meet percentage score. Cons When new repository is added - there should be pop-up suggestion to create SonarQube project for it, coming from SonarQube. At the moment the user/administrator must watch out for new repositories in the organisation, without a note from the system itself that there is a new repository which you might want to add for scanning.

Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Software Quality Assurred" September 28, 2021 5.0 Software Quality Increasing Over Time Pros Multiple quality metrics for software develop and configurable quality gates Cons Some brakes with compatibility when doing migrations Review Source Response from SonarSource October 14, 2021 Thank you for your review and feedback, Alexander! VR Verified Reviewer Data developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool for Code Quality" January 18, 2023 5.0 Pros I appreciated how SonarQube offers an extensive collection of static code analysis tools that are user-friendly and comprehendible. They make it simple to quickly recognize potential errors and safety flaws in your code. Moreover, it has effective reporting features to allow you to keep track of and observe code quality over time. Cons The biggest downside of SonarQube is that it can be difficult to configure and set up. It also requires a lot of manual configuration and maintenance. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Staff Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SonarQube for static code analysis " September 24, 2022 5.0 Pros Best feature of SonarQube is that it can be integrated with most of the applications, and it provides static code Analysis for both frontend and backend code. I am using SonarQube for my APIs and Web code and for each build, I can see how many code smells i have inserted, how many are solved, What is the additional development time i have added. Now i can see the security status of the Web app as well like Cross Site issues etc. All these features are awesome Cons I cannot find any cons for this as of now Review Source VR Verified Reviewer developer Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SonarQube" May 24, 2022 5.0 Overall very easy to use and thus very helpfull tool. Pros We have SonarQube implemented in our company develop environment and it's very easy to use. Cons Constantly annoying me with my code smells :-) (just a joke!) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Cloud Engineer Photography Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple static analysis out of the box" February 19, 2021 4.0 SonarQube provides some grest feedback on code quality to stop preventable bugs from geting to production. Pros The ability to run up a Docker container with SonarQube and run static analysis on our codebase within half an hour was superb. Built in support for multiple languages enabled a quick start and got us looking at potential bugs, hotspots and code smells in no time. Integration with VSCode using SonarLint is awesome. Integration into a CI/CD pipeline provides a good code quality gate. Cons Some of the setup documentation was a little lacking and could be improved. Time was wasted initially trying to pass parameters into the cli command that had no effect. It turned out that some properties had to be set in a sonar-project.properties in the source repository.

Ceo Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Clean code the right way" September 7, 2022 5.0 Pros Code review automation, in addition to analyzing the code details that sometimes goes unnoticed, increases the degree of confidence and security of your code. Cons I find it a bit complicated to implement. Review Source MM Mansi M. Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SonarQube - Used to improve the code quality and security" December 21, 2022 5.0 SonarQube is a great tool to maintain code quality. Issues are divided into different categories like Bug, Major, Minor etc. Pros All the vulnerabilities and possible exceptions are flagged which becomes easy for developer. Rules can be customized as per the requirement. Provides the examples of compliant and non-compliant code. Cons Sometimes there are false positive issues Review Source Pawan Y.

Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Code Coverage and Issue Check" August 21, 2022 5.0 My overall experience with sonar is good. It helps me a lot. Because our acceptance criteria are that there should be no blocker, critical or major issues, and the coverage should be a minimum of 95%. Pros We use sonarqube to get the code coverage of our spring projects. It is easy to use and free to use. You can easily run that locally or using Jenkins Pipelines. It will scan your project to whether your test cases are covering your code or not and whether there are blockers, major, minor, or critical issues in your app that can affect your app. It helps a lot to write proper test cases and fix code quality issues. Cons There are no cons to using sonarqube. It will now only improve your code quality but help you write proper test cases. Review Source Raul Antonio Z. Graduate Music Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Essential tool to guarantee quality and safety" July 18, 2023 4.0 As a developer, it has been an invaluable tool in improving the quality and security of my code. It has helped me proactively identify and address issues, allowing me to run cleaner, less bug-prone software. Pros I love its ability to provide a clear and concise view of code quality. Cons At first, I found it a bit overwhelming to understand all the available features and settings. Although the documentation and support help, I think there could be a better guide for new users. Review Source CP Carlos P. QAE Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SonarQube Review" July 20, 2023 4.0 Overall experience about Sonarqube - Effective tool for improving code quality but demands expertise for setup and maintenance. Pros Comprehensive code quality analysis. Really good to detect bugs, vulnerabilities and code smells. And integration with popular CI/CD pipelines is really impressive. Cons Setup and configuration can be complex for begineers. And limited support for some programming languages is what could be improved. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Programmer Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Free open source" May 10, 2023 4.0 Pros \- integrate CI/CD- customizable Quality Profiles- easy to use Cons \- performance Impact- limited programming language- open-source, some advanced features are only available in the commercial version Review Source CZ Cristina Z. it specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "SonarQube" February 27, 2023 5.0 Pros The tool that got us better code. The integration of libraries and the amount of languages is enough to work with and integrate with other DevOps applications which is easy. Everything is very intuitive including the initial setup. Setting up multiple rules for languages is included as well as security. The static code scanning feature is good. The only thing is that the UI integration could be improved. Cons The only thing is that the UI integration could be improved, maybe even better documentation, but otherwise I am satisfied with the application, deployment without problems, integration with other applications as well. Review Source SB Shaifi B. Senior Software Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Senior partner of development team" May 29, 2022 4.0 It is a life saver in the development. It acts as a primary reviewer for every commit and the suggestions it provide are also very good thus saving time in code review . It helps in increasing the code quality and also supports self learning by providing the reviews. Pros \- It catches bugs very easily and classifies them into errors, bugs, code smells etc. based on their impact on the code. - It can be integrated with git and can be configured to automatically run on every commit Cons \- It is somewhat messy as if there are linting changes in the code then it also picks that previous changes and provide insights on it which sometimes creates ruckus on large code base Review Source Houssem Z. Android developer Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SonarQube is a very good tool" September 29, 2021 4.0 Pros I like how code duplication, smell code and cognitive complexity are detected Cons I wish that SonarQube would work on a multi module project, the way it works for a single module one. Review Source Response from SonarSource October 14, 2021 Thank you for your review, Houssem!
