When we started using it 5 years ago, the teams adoption was very fast. ----- ### "Best code scanning and monitoring tools" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 April 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Reports it generates and grades on vulnerabilities and highlights the scanned code > > **Cons**: Integration with Visual Studio. Net code was not simple and easier. > > Used sonarqube in multiple web development project where we used this tool and found very useful and checkpoints ----- ### "Great tool to drive Coding Quality standards" — 3.0/5 > **Chandramouli** | *12 August 2021* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: PR analysis and Integration with Bitbucket are most helpful. > > **Cons**: 1. Number of rules should be increased. 2. Few rules should have custom exclusions. Ex: Naming conventions =\> Organisation-specific words will be there which should be in Capital. 3. Generating a lot of false positives 4. Executive reports should generate based on scheduled triggers. We have 20 projects which are assigned to a Portfolio. if you are going to generate a report and send an email for the first portfolio calculation then the rest of the 19 projects info for that day will be missed. Higher management will think that the generated report is the latest but it is not. 5. PR analysis reports should be generated Quickly > > PR analysis and Integration with Bitbucket are most in avoiding the new issues. The tool needs a lot of improvements 1. Number of rules should be increased. 2. Few rules should have custom exclusions. Ex: Naming conventions =\> Organisation-specific words will be there which should be in Capital. 3.
