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.

Elevate your code quality to the next level
The development process has been a bit slower than usual after SonarQube integration, but the quality and readability of the code is much better.
PROSThe main feature of SonarQube is that it detects code complexities within the code so that the developer can optimize it. It also detects accessibility and security issues; code smells and suggests changes.
CONSIt is a bit difficult to integrate with existing services and the quality checks may also conflict with other integrations.

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

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.

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.

Developer friendly SAST
We really like the IDE tool called SonarLint which makes it easy for developers to integrate with most IDEs and lint their code even before committing it to the repos. Another advantage was that we were able to self host our own instance on our Kubernetes cluster and keep the versions based on the containers we specify to pull.
CONSOther engines tend to scan the same code base faster. Not too much of a con since this is all automated.

A free tool for source code analysis
It helped me to be able to do my job in improving the code, giving me possible solutions and saving me time.
PROSWhat I find most useful in this software is the code analysis, which gives detailed reports of the errors found and then suggests possible solutions. This saves time in software development.In addition, their large community helps solve problems that arise along the way.
CONSSometimes the reports can give false positives, which requires that the personnel in charge of handling the software carefully review the results to avoid false positives.

Popular tool for code smell search in the organisation's repositories
Easy-to-administer tool, with good functionality to monitor security part of your code (using SAST methodology), with ability to integrate with Jenkins, GitHub and other tools. You are able to fail the build if the code doesn't meet percentage score.
CONSWhen new repository is added - there should be pop-up suggestion to create SonarQube project for it, coming from SonarQube. At the moment the user/administrator must watch out for new repositories in the organisation, without a note from the system itself that there is a new repository which you might want to add for scanning.

Measure the quality of your software
I like sonarqube dashboard and the flexibility that quality gates provide to measure your software quality. You can set up you own thresholds for maintenance, reliability, security, code coverage and many other metrics, and allow only versions passing this quality gate to be deployed.
CONSUnfortunately it lacks an easy way to see trends and go deep into which developers are the best/the worst. Also, it is paid if you need to analyse software in some languages, available only on the cloud.

Sonarqube essential code quality analysis tool
In short, it is an indispensable tool and should be mandatory in all software development companies.
PROSThe ability to analyze the quality of the code in each deployment or integration, together with the possibility of modifying the rules to allow deployment or not (quantity or criticality of errors or defects), as well as vulnerability analysis allows for better software, always keeping in mind of the developers the quality and security of the code.
CONSLike everything, the time it takes to leave it well configured and integrated with the rest of the systems, as well as the maintenance and updating of the standards, rules and vulnerabilities depending on the programming language and the news that are published at the level of security.

The least you can do for software quality
Sonarqube allows anyone to run a scan for code smells, bugs or vulnerabilities. There is no reason not to use it or integrate it into your CI/CD pipelines. Even if you do not enforce passing the quality gate, it helps a lot in tracking and highlighting where are your weaknesses. Code duplication and Code coverage are very useful tools to understand the overall quality of your development.
CONSIt is hard to view historic data, and once you run a new analysis you cannot see the previous ones anymore from the same unified dashboard, you have to enter into each metric and check the history link. Please bring back the history dashboard from sonar 5!

Excellent code assurance tool
It's a great tool and be understood by experienced people more easily.
PROSSonarqube helps me find out if there are any repetitive lines in my code. Since the code sometimes get lengthy or at times missed by me to recheck. It is added in continuous integration in jenkins which when runs code smells, coverage and quality will be detected.
CONSAt times we need to precisely set all the settings for the issues to be detected. If any small mistake happens then no result can be seen. We use traditional sonarqube where we install and integrate rather then plugin in jenkins. So the traditional method needs to be more careful in installing and running it.

Staple in the CI/CD pipelined quality gate solutions
It allows our dev teams to keep consistent level of code quality and known issues proof in code and used target platforms so as to provide to end users/customers highest quality products delivered in CI/CD methodology.
PROSEasily add source code analysis for potential bugs and pitfalls to warrant against developers' errors or just not efficient coding by novices, projects dependencies on vulnerable platforms and potential long-term support issues due to how your code is structured. Simple deployment of binaries needed for scans for major target build environments OSes, plus easy to use APIs, all for the benefit of easy integration into CI/CD pipelines.
CONSCaps and limits on key server instance component required when obtaining config for project and preset rules, when sending analysis results or getting quality gate results may make the pipelines seem to fail without easier discerning real reasons.

Sonarqube a static code analysis for quality and security of the code
We have been using sonarqube in our cicd pipeline for static code analysis and its been very helpful identifying the bugs early in the stages. This tool is best in the market but still missing on some functionalities, mainly in dashboards.
PROS1. Ensures that only quality, bugfree and vulnerabilities free code goes into production and improves developer’s skills. 2. Supports 24+ languages. 3. Open source version. 4. Developer workflow integration 5. Detect the bugs early in development and send alerts to developers to have a look into suspicious code snippets. 6. The results are faster and can get integrated within pipeline.
CONS1. Integration with the third party apps could be improved. 2. Dashboards could be better and code security features can be added more. 3. Sometimes false positive results

Loved using SonarQube!!!
We primarily need to perform some static analyses. Everyone sends a pool request while they're coding. We must guarantee that the code is up to date before committing it to the main branch. That's basically how we work to make sure that whatever rules we've set up, whatever gates we've set up, are followed before we commit the code to the main branch. I had a lot of fun with the powerful tool.
PROSThe way it evaluates all of the code generated and reports on any violations of standard coding help us optimize the written code, ensuring that the smallest number of lines are created to properly cover the functionality. It offers a lovely user interface with distinct groups of infractions ranging from small to large, and it involves fixing the code's needless complexity. It also aids in the removal of duplicate code that has been used several times and the upkeep of method standards.
CONSIntegrating Sonarqube into CI/CD Pipelines takes time, and it may take even longer if the developer is newer. More real-time solutions could be included in the available guide, making it easier to handle issues and complete the integration.

Great experience I loved it. It will track all the lines in code and gives us the quality report according to rule set.
PROSGreat tool to check the code quality like unit test cases, number of repetitive lines and other checks for coments and other. This helps us to set the rules which should be followed by the developer which maintains the consistency of the software for customers.
CONSI don't have any much cons on this. But we need little good knowledge to handle this. It is little tricky to manage the application.
