    Nikto is well suited for scanning web server-related vulnerabilities for small and medium enterprises. We can utilise it for checking server default files and security misconfigurations. It is not suited well for some users because it is CLI based tool and not a GUI based. Also, community and OEM support are not available for this tool.

    MobSF is good for checking for vulnerabilities in your app. It will also give suggestions on how to address them. Another thing is can do is find code that may be incorrect. It is not, however, a substitute for a system that actually checks your code for proper use. It really is concentrated on security.

    In my opinion, MobSF is not as comprehensive as SonarQube. Both, however, do a very good job in scanning your code for vulnerabilities. Both do roughly the same things. The reports of SonarQube are more detailed though. The advantage that MobSF has over SonarQube is the price. One is free while the other is a paid solution (with several tiers). However, we use them together to get a more comprehensive scan.
