CodeScan Reviews

This was a very easy tool to set up, train and adopt. We onboarded a lot of users in very little time.

Would help if they had more documentation

A fantastic polyglot static code analyzer all wrapped into a single UI.

Typically we would need to set separate integrations using language specific libraries and scan each file accordingly but a single CodeScan setup handles them all.

CodeScan handles all major languages so even if the repo has a mix of Java, PHP, JS, etc, it out of the box applies best practices to ensure code quality.

It also works across repos/projects which is great.

I think I recall that there is an issue when running on branches of branches where upstream is merged but we run into so infrequently it's not really a problem. We just point the branch back at master and rerun.

Very rarely, but it has happened, there is a rule that may be incorrect due to context. Ignoring these is simple, but then the email that it's been ignored is shot off and then the questions start rolling in. There is probably a way to avoid the email getting sent out but I haven't looked into it yet.

Once again, really rare.

The code scanning feature, the ease of performing most task with the app is what amazes me with the app.

I love everything about the app so far, especially the ease of adapting to it.

Excellent documentation and a fair pricing model. Integrates with our DevSecOps CI/CD tool (Copado) seamlessly.

Email reports are not beneficial for reporting to Security leadership, would like better options. Also all reports are emailed, you cannot select which project to email.

It finds the right bugs and I've checked it against Checkmarx, it does the job well with less cost. I like the new feature "Security Hotspot", it has helped my team to work efficiently in writing secure codes.

It doesn't report on individual scans. The report is tailored to the entire project and all the vulnerabilities that exist in your project. To this, it fails industry standard but it still does a good job.

Fits nicely with the overall Sonar offering
Extensive libraries of rules and frequently updated
Great support

Not applicable - Code Scan was very receptive to our feedback and acted swiftly

Ease of using, works nice with Jenkins pipeline. Good interactive dashboard

Hmnn. Nothing so far. In my daily work, it seems to work pretty good

Easy to use. Easy to understand. Easy to implement. Great Value for money.

It would be good somehow to be able to upload my own rules to it. But I understand how difficult this would be.

ease of install and deployment, good number of checks on code lines

native integration with git or other source control tools

I really like the real-time integration with Intellij. It was very easy to install and setup. Very helpful from a developer standpoint.

It seems a little buggy when you actually fix a suggestion. It doesn’t seem to remove the suggestion from the right side.

Easy installation and high number of checks on the code (rules)

Not integrated with opensource SCM like Gitea

Filter the bad code and help us to correct our code

Sometime gives irrelevant errors, actually there is no error

Code Smells feature and the slick UI which is so easy to use.

There is nothing that I like the least about this.

1. Comprehensive list of code related areas in a report which can be sliced and diced and presented to client.

1. Robust reporting capabilities which can give options to slice and dice using different criterias.
