For example, one of our devs was notorious for PRs with high cognitive complexity in their functions. Now, all we need to do in our azure pipelines is ensure that all sonarqube code smells are solved before they can merge their work to main. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it can create a loop in code smells. For example, if there are many commands in a Dockerfile, it will ensure that commands are merged together (but not necessarily correctly), which causes the dev to break the commands apart again. And the loop goes on until it is silenced. > > Overall, it's made our team much more consistent and efficient.PRs are a smoother process because the code smells are already fixed. ----- ### "Never use SonarQube" — 1.0/5 > **Zach** | *February 13, 2025* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: There is nothing about this company that I would ever recommend. > > **Cons**: Of all the terrible things about this service and company, it's their customer support that takes the cake\! > > This service is a complete scam. Let's start with how it ended. I canceled my account, only to find out that it did not actually cancel. So I contacted support. It took them 2 months to resolve my request and they continued billing my card when the account was 100% not in use and I had no access to it. Now they refuse to refund my money. This is after they increased the cost of my plan by 3x without my approval (which is what prompted me to want to leave). In order to try to reduce my cost, our engineering team attempted to discsonnect some unused repos... nope, not possible. NEVER use this service. You absolutely cannot trust them. It's unbelievable that their system cannot be canceled and yet somehow it's my fault and I continue to get billed while their support team takes weeks to respond. ----- ### "A powerful tool for code quality" — 5.0/5 > **Jitae** | *September 30, 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've been SonarQube many years for catching bugs and integrated with Github. It does provide very clear reports showing how our code is doing in details and also what needs fixing. > > **Cons**: As admin of SonarQube, setting up project and configure/integrating this to other app like TeamCity or AWS codebuild was bit tricky. I was struggling to set it up at the beginning and also UI is not really intuitive. Also we have to manage its server as well like upgrading\! > > Overall, SonarQube is very powerful tool to catch bugs and potential security issues in order to improve our code quality even though setting it up can be a little bit of challenges at the beginning. Also you can customize rules like we set up rules to match what our project needs based on project's use-cases ----- ### "Well defined by consistency and high operability" — 4.0/5 > **Yusmeidy** | *May 14, 2024* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the outstanding values about SonarQube is the speed of analysis. It makes it easy to collaborate with other features to generate clean codes. I and my team had an easy time during deployment. It was quite easy to relate with our needs. Combining all this benefits leads to a consistent and reliable coding behavior. > > **Cons**: Installation of the tool was troublesome. We were forced to buy a new device with higher processing speed to avoid the numerous rebooting. Later, deployment and use was smooth. > > Brings quality and professionalism in the final results. It is an impressive tool. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/210481/sonarqube?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/210481/sonarqube) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
