ReSharper vs. Sonatype Platform

ReSharper is suitable for all legacy and new projects. It helps keep the code clean, short and understandable. The color codes help you quickly identify what you are looking for, and the shortcuts are the best. While Visual Studio made progress on these points on its own, it seems to me that ReSharper has a lot to offer. Today it happens to me that I can't think of another productivity tool without thinking of ReSharper first.

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.

• It displays errors or suggestions for your code
• Saves time to optimize a code
• Faster development

• Store and share artifacts likes java libraries and docker images
• Find vulnerabilities and malicious code in the builds using LifeCycle
• Integrates quite well with Gitlab ci/cd and provides
• Managing/browsing different artifacts in the repo

• Sometimes colleagues report degraded performance
• Sometimes Visual Studio needs to be restarted because the code becomes out of sync with what ReSharper thinks it should be

• Container scanning is cumbersome, difficult to get it working
• If you look at a scan result in the dashboard, you cannot see the git branch where it was produced (you only see the commit hash)

JFrog's architecture is significantly ahead of Sonatype's implementation. It would be a lot easier to globally manage a JFrog solution than a Sonatype solution. JFrog's UI is more user friendly and has more features. JFrog, however, is significantly behind Sonatype in the quality of the license and security vulnerability data. Also, based on the pricing models for the 2 companies, JFrog's cost was significantly higher than Sonatype's.

• ReSharper saved me HOURS of code writing.
• Saved me time to find issues in code.
• Saved me time finding dependency issues.
• It helps to create understandable code, so that others can continue the work without wasting time.
