SonarQube for IDE (formerly SonarLint) Reviews & Product Details

SonarLint is an incredibly customizable, open-source tool that integrates seamlessly with a variety of IDEs and coding platforms, such as Spring Tools Suite and IntelliJ IDEA. Its flexibility and user-friendly nature are what stand out the most to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While highly customizable and user-friendly, SonarLint can occasionally be unclear. For instance, it sometimes flags ignorable issues like auto-wiring errors in Spring Boot projects. Additionally, it lacks the ability to assess and improve code complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SonarLint is the most customizable and Free Open Source tool that can be integrated with multiple IDEs and coding platforms like Spring tools suite, IntelliJ Idea etc.

The fact that it is this customizable and user friendly, is what I like about it the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although it is very customizable and user-friendly, SonalLint can be very vague at times, there are times when it throws errors in the code like some auto wiring errors for spring-boot projects that are ignorable.

Also, it does not have a way to understand and improve code complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SonarLint is an extremely powerful static code analysis tool. It is available as a plugin for all popular integrated development environments. This enables running the tool as soon as the new code is written so that any violations can be rectified immediately preventing technical debt and to ensure it meets the organization's quality standards.

SonarLint is an extremely powerful tool. It allows customization as per the organizations quality and coding standards. One thing it needs to improve is that local run of sonarlint does not report all the violations that the server version reports. This area needs to be fixed as 100% of the violations can be caught in the developer workstation itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Take even further the Clean as you code that is the principle that Sonarqube usually share.

* See all the code smells before committing or creating the PR

* Check coverage directly on your IDE

* Big range of IDE's support

The sonarlint sometimes will run only on the file you open. If is a configuration the tool code be more intuitive.

The smells show at the IDE but they don't share as much details or link as the version on the Sonarqube instance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SonarLint is a free IDE extension that connects to the Sonar Cloud. It is good tool to use. As, you type the code it highlights the issue it found and also suggests how to resolve them. This saves time as issues can be resolved at the time of writing the code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing I disliked about SonarLint based on my experience is at times it does n't gives correct solutions to the issues highlighted. Also, you can't use it to run checks only for a specific piece of code or find code coverage of the specific piece of new code written. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of the times the bug detection feature is very quick & sharp even while writing the code.

Excellent in the categorization of the severity (blocker to info) of issues.

Most of the time gives accurate suggestions to fix the issues.

Saves time in issue detection and fixing the issue. Also, helps in improving the efficiency of the code.

Easy to configure & set rules as per organization policies.

Good for new coders to learn coding & fix mistakes immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gets slower in visual studios.

Sometimes it doesn't give correct suggestions on the issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SonarLint is very helpfull IDE extension for Sonar Analysis. I helps me in writing bug free code by highlighting the bugs or defects in the code. Also, it suggest fixes of the highlighted bugs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Do not find anything to dislike, overall good experience so far and it helps a lot during the code development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides one of the best extensions for VS Code to improve code quality and maintain standards throughout. With its excellent inbuilt rules, I improved my coding skills. It can help you while you code; for example, if a written statement doesn't need a null check, it notifies the developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far never had any problems with the rules which were predefined. One thing is that it slows down development, but it's better to be cautious than to solve the mess later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps me in my development environment, tracking bugs and fixing major and minor issues before they become problems in deployment. This is by far the best in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is bulky and very opinionated. sometimes some of the stuff it captures as errors are actually my code preferences, and it is good that I can set those manually, but it would be nice to export those settings as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have integrated SonarLint in VS code it helps me to modularize my code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I get warning lines based on cache memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
