Codacy vs. Sonatype Nexus Platform

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.

We use two modules of Sonatype Nexus platform, Nexus LifeCycle and Nexus Repository.

• Nexus Repository: Nexus Repository is a good choice for being a repository manager. IAs such it does a good job of mirroring external repositories like artifactory etc. It saves network bandwidth/hard ware costs by allowing the teams to share artifacts with each other. Repository UI allows managing different artifacts. For bulk operations, CLI provides a value add. Support is available and helpful. Its a great choice is one is looking for repository manager which comes with support.
• Nexus LifeCycle : Provides checking the vulnerabilities in the builds. It is probably the best thing which Nexus offers. It comes with its REST api. Artifacts can be checked before getting deployed.

• Great for open-source projects.

Codacy provides a good support mechanism and has very intuitive UI. Even a newbie can understand the details of a code base. The best part is you don't have to manually update everything. Once you have connected the git repository, it will automatically rate the code and updates according to your commits.

Sonatype nexus platform is an excellent choice in comparison to the other products. As a platform it is a combination of various modules plus it comes with the support. So its a great choice for organizations which are not looking for open source. Nexus comes with LifeCycle and IQ servers. Lifecycle performs the vulnerability assessment on the builds/artifacts thus making sure the systems are not compromised. Other products are good choice if one is looking for open-source as repository manager. They are not a platform.
