Codacy vs. SonarQube for IDE

I recommend it for companies that use several programming languages, as it supports several languages ​​such as Java, Javascript, Python, among others. However, for companies that use only one programming language, there are specific tools for each language that can be more complete in this scenario. I do not recommend it for companies that only use open source software, in which case there are other tools available.

• Seamless and easy integrations with GitHub for fantastic pipeline of viewing errors.
• Intuitive UI which is easy to customize and built-in patterns recommendations and security checks helps to fix issues faster.
• Metrics and duplication and complexity easily identify areas that need attention to fix it easy.
• Great for open-source projects.

• SonarLint highlights all the issues in our codes and also displays the severity of each issue.
• SonarLint also provides suggestions for how to fix those code issues which are highlighted.
• SonarLint starts the processing of the file as soon as it is opened and highlights all the issues which it found.
• When we fix the issue, we don't even need to create a new build or generate fresh code quality report, as soon as we save the file with the changes, it does the processing again and shows the result if the issue is fixed or not.
• SonarLint saves a lot of time and effort by saving us from doing fresh build every time and generating new code quality report every time, thus increasing the efficiency and output which is in return beneficial for the client.

• There should be customization to get code quality for your own projects if standards are provided.
• Offline or a standalone application is much needed from Codacy to get local support.
• Spots a lot of errors and small ones that don't affect much about quality and are de-facto standards.

• Sometimes, SonarLint does not highlight the issues in the code correctly.
• The severity of the issues highlighted is according to the default rules set, we should also be given authority to set the severity of the issues.
• The default fixes which SonarLint provides should be more enhanced and there should be more fixes available.
• Sometimes it takes a lot of time for processing of the file when any new file is loaded or changes are saved in a file.

Great company and support team!

Even though it is paid while SonarQube is free, we chose Codacy because it is simpler to configure and maintain the implemented rules. In addition, it offers support for the main programming languages ​​on the market, ensuring that we can continue to use it if we want to use other languages ​​in new products.
