"Improving Code with SonarQube"
What do you like best about SonarQube?

SonarQube makes it easy to maintain high code quality by automatically detecting bugs, vulnerabilities, and code smells. I like how it integrates with CI/CD pipelines and provides clear, actionable insights for developers. The detailed dashboards and quality gates help enforce coding standards across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SonarQube?

The initial setup and configuration can be a bit complex, especially for new users. It also requires tuning to avoid too many false positives. For very large projects, performance can sometimes feel slower, and the UI could be more modern and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great actionnable tool for developers"
What do you like best about SonarQube?

SonarCloud is very easy to set up, and integrates nicely into your development platform.

It supports a large number of languages, rules, and can be configured to fit your needs.

Teams use it on a daily basis without needing to think of it.

It is also very intuitive and robust, so you will hardly need technical support ; if you need to, the community website is the way to go for quick answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SonarQube?

The 2024 changes in pricing and product organization led to some hard discussions on pricing internally. The pricing is fair, but the price hike was hard to swallow by the management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
