We performed a comparison between Seeker and SonarQube based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Static Application Security Testing (SAST)."A significant advantage of Seeker is that it is an interactive scanner, and we have found it to be much more effective in reducing the amount of false positives than dynamic scanners such as AppScan, Micro Focus Fortify, etc. Furthermore, with Seeker, we are finding more and more valid (i.e. "true") positives over time compared with the dynamic scanners."
"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."
"The initial setup is simple. It requires some security, but it's simple."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."
"The good thing with SonarQube is it covers a lot of issues, it's a very robust framework."
"All the features of the solution are quite good."
"I like that it helps us maintain our work quality and code security."
"The solution can verify vulnerabilities, code smells, and hotspots. It makes the software more secure and it helps make a junior or novice developer sharper."
"The integrations SonarQube provides with our software delivery pipeline are very seamless."
"One area that Seeker can improve is to make it more customizable. All security scanning tools have a defined set of rules that are based on certain criteria which they will use to detect issues. However, the criteria that you set initially is not something that all applications are going to need."
"The tool needs to be more compatible with C/C++ language"
"The product's pricing could be lower."
"Currently requires multiple tools, lacking one overall tool."
"I think the code security can be improved."
"When we have a thousand products published over it, we expect it to be more efficient in terms of serving requests from the browser."
"The product must improve security analysis."
"SonarQube is not development-centric like Snyk."
"There are limitations to the free version that limit development options as far as languages."
