A product’s price can vary greatly based on features needed, support or training required, and customization requests. Some vendors want a chance to talk to you before being ruled out for pricing. When you find a product that fits your needs, you should talk to the vendor to figure out what they can offer.
Sigrid Reviews
Pros
It's intuitive and it has a lot of features. We use it both to identify vulnerabilities and for code quality, it's impressive for how many things it can scan the code for.
Great detection, shows files of interest, gives some suggestions to improve.
Overall, a great product for keeping your code quality in check with quantifiable metrics.
Good product to improve quality for developers and architects.
Cons
Unfortunately, detecting component dependencies does not work very well for our PHP Symfony projects because of the framework's dependency injection mechanism.
Customizability of what is measured and how this works with architecture goals is very low. Immediate feedback for developers missing.
One downside was that it felt the comparison of maintainability score of new code (on PR) to baseline wasn’t what we expected.
It tends to forget your preferences you select on overview pages, which makes it a bit annoying when you navigate back and forth.
"Still exploring"
Overall: I am a new user. Our company just enrolled Sigrid, and I am still exploring the website.
Pros: Nice overview of the software quality of all the applications within our company.
Cons: I am still a new user, so I didn't find anything negative yet.
"Keeping a good eye on Open Source and Low Code software development efforts"
Overall: Although getting pseude code for all low code diagrams from our Mendix app made me a bit skeptical in the beginning, I started to appreciate the overall features Sigrid provides and the ability to review both Open Source and Mendix low code apps. As I outlined in the cons, there should be more credit/focus in Mendix Low Code developed apps when as little Java as possible is used, benefitting fully from Low Code assesments. I personally don't appreciate when Java is seen as the way to go in Low Code software development.
Pros: We use Sigrid for the following objectives (in order of top prio first): - Monitor and avoid vulnerabilities in libraries we use - Assess and improve code & low code quality - Assess Software Architectures and avoid/minimize module entanglements - Benchmark our Open Source and Low Code developments - Focus on good enough development and not over engineer
Cons: - In the Architecture Overview of your App, the Scores for Technology Stack give you 2.8 stars for all developments you do in Mendix Low Code (and we use Mendix QSM, the Mendix version of Sigrid) and 5.4 stars for any Java code you use in your Mendix app, this is crazy and should be solved. In a Mendix app you should expect the opposite, 2.8 stars if you use Java instead of the Low code way of developing. If this can be improved, Sigrid is a great tool.
Vendor Response
"Highly unsatisfying experience with code quality monitoring software"
Pros: Some quality aspects are monitorable, even though not all the essential ones
Cons: Customizability of what is measured and how this works with architecture goals is very low. Immediate feedback for developers missing
Vendor Response
"Staying ahead of threads and problems with ease of use"
Overall: We have been using it for months now without any issue, we'll continue to use it and maybe reach out to improve and add new features.
Pros: It help us to evaluate and measure the entire scope of things when developing and maintaining or software and platforms. That's very helpful
Cons: It can be a bit overwhelming at first, but once you get to know it, you have an amazing tool
"Good product to improve quality for developers and architects"
Pros: Sigrid provides actionable points of improvement, and you can track improvement well in time.
Cons: It tends to forget your preferences you select on overview pages, which makes it a bit annoying when you navigate back and forth. The Code explorer could be made more user friendly.
