Code Analysis and ensuing security against threats
Overall experience with Sonarqube is pretty wholesome integration came handy with my CI/CD tools such as Azure Devops and Jenkins. Provides insights against vulnerabilities and common threats so that necessary actions can be taken by developers to ensure the security and good coding practices to follow. Features like PR decoration allows to get results in CI/CD tools itself if passed then only commit happens to master branch.
PROSFeature like Code Analysis and publishing those analysis report to end user. You can use default Quality Gates and Quality Profiles for scanning of your code. In case you want to modify these you can do that and define your own rule. Whenever there's commit in repo you just need to configure the task in your continuous integration pipeline if it passed the parameter only then commit will happens the master/main branch otherwise it will not. With these features you can eliminate the security threats and ensure that developers are following good practices while developing their code. I have integrated it with Azure DevOps.
CONSOnly thing which I can think can be improved is logging of events. Sometime it becomes hard to debug the issues. Other then that, I think over all this fulfills all the requirements.

Best Code Quality check Tool
We are really taking help of SonarQUbe in maintaining code quality. Doing code scanning on each JIRA story completion. It also helps our developers to improve their code quality. Coding standards are better now. Reports are very useful.
PROS1. Calculate the quality of code and also helps to improve the quality by providing the solution 2. Highlight the vulnerabilities , repetitive line of code 3. Developer Friendly tool as it provides recommendations on the line of code which needs an improvement. 4. Create Scan reports on demand 5. Option to add exception in code
CONS1. Report Generation sometime take long time. 2. User Interface should be enhanced. 3. Lack custom rule set 4. As per cost, it is little bit expensive.
Reasons for switching to SonarQube
SOnarQube is better in terms of quality percentage, provide more insights.

Code Quality Assurance
Overall, impressed by this tool that supports multiple languages, monitoring code quality, bugs and vulnerability detection. Also, integrates well with Jenkins, GitHub, etc.
PROS- It supports almost all commonly used languages like JAVA, Python, Javascript, etc. - Integrates well with CI/CD pipeline established in tools like Jenkins and GitHub. - Detects code duplication, bugs and vulnerabilities in code.
CONS- May be complex to understand the reports for new users. - May block delivery/deployment if hard gates are enabled by DevOps team which may delay project delivery.

Great tool to drive Coding Quality standards
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. 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

SonarQube is Great for Developers!
We could identify many code related issues that are presented in our code and improve the quality of the application that we are developing. As a overall, SonarQube tool is able to add a value to our applications.
PROSIt is simple for developers to recognize their code smells, unused lines of code, errors, problems with the third-party libraries they are using, etc. information and the precise location of the issue. It also offers answers to those problems. As a result, figuring out the problems and fixing them is simple. This will be a terrific tool for developers. Except that, we can introduce our own rules for checking the code quality. It could identify the code issues that are vulnerable to cyber attacks such as XSS, SQL Injection, etc.
CONSIt was difficult to use the SonarQube on-premise application. Once we pushed a new code section, the server needed to restart in order for the application to work.
Reason for choosing SonarQube
Higher number of facilities are available in SonarQube and suggesting the options for fixing the issues.
