"The solution has a pretty simple setup."
"You can download different plugins if you don't have them in the standard edition."
"The initial setup is simple."

"Its dashboard provides a unified view of various code quality metrics, including code duplication, unit test coverage, and security hotspots."
"For what it is meant to do, it works pretty well."
"The reports from SonarCloud are very good."
"The solution can be installed locally."
"I'm not implementing the solutions. However, I've talked to the people who deploy the tools, and they are happy with how easy setting up SonarCloud is."
"Recently, they introduced support for mono reports and microservices, which is a noteworthy development as it provides a more detailed view of each service."
"SonarCloud is overall a good tool for identifying code smells, bugs, and code duplication, but we've found that using Android Lint is more effective for our needs."
"The most valuable features of SonarCloud are the ability to discover vulnerabilities, security weak points, security hotspots, and all the feedback that comes into the feature branch. You can deploy the code with the security, you can eliminate the problem at the developer level rather than identifying the problem in the productions."
"The Iran market does not have after-sales support. PortSwigger Burp Suite Professional needs to provide after-sales support."

"It would be good if the solution could give us more details about what exactly is defective."
"The tool is very expensive."
"I've been told by the developers that the solution is too limited. It's not testing enough within the containers."
"SonarCloud can improve the false positives. Sometimes the gates sometimes act a little weird. We then need to manually go and mark the false positive."
"We had some issues with the scanner."
"It would be helpful if notifications could go out to an extra person."
"There's room for improvement in the configuration process, particularly during the initial setup phase."
"SonarCloud's UI needs enhancement."
"The solution needs to improve its customization and flexibility."
