Find out what your peers are saying about Sonar, Veracode, Checkmarx and others in Application Security Tools."When it comes to ShiftLeft, the most valuable feature is definitely its ease of use and cost-effectiveness."
"It is a good deal compared to all other tools on the market."
"If code coverage is a low number then that's of great value to me."
"SonarQube is good in terms of code review and to report on basic vulnerabilities in your applications."
"The solution has a wide variety of features and an open-source community that you are able to learn Java, JavaScript, or any other programing language."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."
"We use this solution for qualitative coding. We make use of the SonarLint plugin as well as the dashboard."
"We advise all of our developers to have this solution in place."
"It's enabled us to improve software quality and help us to disseminate best practices."
"Having support from senior management is crucial in making it mandatory for teams to collaborate with the security team throughout the development process."
"It should be user-friendly."
"This solution finds issues that are similar to what is found by Checkmarx, and it would be nice if the overlap could be eliminated."
"There is no automation. You need to put the code there and test. You then pull the results and put them back in the development environment. There is no integration with the development environment. We would like it to be integrated with our development environment, which is basically the CI/CD pipeline or the IDE that we have."
"We also use Fortify, which is another tool to find security errors. Fortify is a better security tool. It is better than SonarQube in finding errors. Sometimes, SonarQube doesn't find some of the errors that Fortify is able to find. Fortify also has a community, which SonarQube doesn't have. Its installation is a little bit complex. We need to install a database, install the product, and specify the version of the database and the product. They can simplify the installation and make it easier. We use docker for the installation because it is easier to use. Its dashboard needs to be improved. It is not intuitive. It is hard to understand the interface, and it can be improved to provide a better user experience."
"The product's user documentation can be vastly improved."
"I would like to see more options for security, beyond the basics like SQL injection."
"I am not very pleased with the technical debt computation."
"Their dashboarding is very limited. They can improve their dashboards for multiple areas, such as security review, maintainability, etc. They have all this information, so they should publish all this information on the dashboard so that the users can view the summary and then analyze it further. This is something that I would like to see in the next version."
