Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review For a medium to large size organization with the possibility to setup a central support team to support the governance, maintenance and implementation of the Sonatype Platform, the product suite from Sonatype is very well suited. Setting up detailed configurations requires quite some effort and deep understanding of the Sonatype Platform. Whenever needed the support teams from Sonatype are available for technical and functional support. As well the Innovate platform of Sonatype offers customers to interact on specific topics and set up customer reference calls.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Nexus firewall is a great feature enabled for all our proxy repositories which are used to download the third-party opensource packages. Nexus IQ is integrated with build stage to analyze the component against evaluation policy. This helps to figure out the application security standards. Nexus IQ is also having a feature to scan container images before it uploads to our private repository. This is great feature for container platforms. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Recommendations for best Energy Consumption options based on existing BOM - e.g. replace component X with component Y to reduce CPU cycles. More specific recommendations regarding Open Source Licensing - not just saying "Copyleft" but the next level of analysis (it's difficult - but would save a lot of time) Provide specific component replacement options where no "next version" resolves a high severity vulnerability. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Sonatype supports more than 200 dev(s). It proves with the repository to store the artifacts. Allows for governance of open source software used by the different teams. It is used by security teams to scan for vulnerabilities in software(s) and in the deployed containers. It helps ensure code quality.

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.
Read full review Out of other products we evaluated before choosing Sonatype, the later looked far more user friendly, easy to understand and work with. This was key for us, as the tool needs to be used by many engineers that don't have security as their main focus. Having a tool that is easy to understand and work with, makes the process of evaluating open source dependencies much easier and appealing for developers.
Read full review Return on Investment The integration of Codacy with new code base is quick and easy. Improves our code. Easy to detect errors easily. Ability to check duplicate codes. Read full review Sonatype's centralized management of artifacts have made it very easy for developers to share code in an efficient manner. Sonatype's low false positive rate has made it easier to convince developers to remediate vulnerabilities Sonatype's archaic architecture has made it more expensive to manage than it could be.
