Can be installed locally, is stable and easy to implement
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution can be installed locally."
  • "It would be helpful if notifications could go out to an extra person."

What is our primary use case?

We are customers of SonarCloud.

What is most valuable?

I like that the solution can be installed locally. 

What needs improvement?

I'd like them to include an alert for a third person. Sometimes there are very big problems that come up, possibly a large bug report, and it would be helpful if a notification could go out to an extra person. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for about three years.

Well priced, good for basic needs, but is too limited
Pros and Cons
  • "For what it is meant to do, it works pretty well."
  • "I've been told by the developers that the solution is too limited. It's not testing enough within the containers."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is a static code analysis tool. That's basically what we use it for in our organization.

What is most valuable?

We bought the solution due to the fact that it was the lowest price. 

For what it is meant to do, it works pretty well. 

It's good for analysis.

What needs improvement?

I've been told by the developers that the solution is too limited. It's not testing enough within the containers. For instance, it only checks for obvious code errors. They should work to improve this.

At that moment we needed to scan the codes that the developers are producing, we found out that we needed more features.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for six months or so now. It's been less than a year.

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

The former product we used was Twistlock.

How was the initial setup?

I haven't had much experience with the initial setup. I can't speak to what the deployment or setup was like.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is very good.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We're currently looking into other options.

We're either looking for an integrated product for the whole CICB pipeline, such as StackRox, or we're looking at Fishman from Palo Alto. We're also looking at individual products for the whole CICB pipeline. In fact, this afternoon we are having a meeting to further discuss what tools we will use, or what can we use for dependency decks in the whole CICB pipeline, and for us to get a container image.

What other advice do I have?

We're a customer and an end-user of the product. We don't have a business relationship with them. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using.

I'd advise potential users to first check all the features to see if what they need is there and then check them off to ensure that SonarCloud fills all your needs.

It's a good product for its purpose.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.
