Sonar
Sonar offers a portfolio covering finding or addressing weaknesses in software. The entries in this catalog include SonarQube Cloud and SonarQube Server. SonarQube Cloud focuses on cloud-managed code quality and vulnerability analysis. SonarQube Server focuses on source code quality and security analysis. When reviewing Sonar, compare the named products individually: a platform family, a specific module and a managed service can have different scopes and purchasing requirements. Selection should account for supported languages or targets, scan placement, finding quality and how developers validate proposed fixes. Portfolio detail - SonarQube Cloud: the catalog lists Cloud-managed code analysis, Static application security testing, Software composition analysis. - SonarQube Server: the catalog lists Self-managed code analysis, Static application security testing, Software composition analysis. For procurement, map each required capability to a named offering and confirm the edition, dependencies and delivery responsibility with the vendor. Product-level entries below provide the operational context and evaluation questions for that comparison.

SonarQube Cloud
SonarQube Cloud from Sonar focuses on cloud-managed code quality and vulnerability analysis. It is application security technology used for finding or addressing weaknesses in software. Capabilities - Cloud-managed code analysis: Provides the documented hosted analysis workflow for connected development projects. - Static application security testing: Analyzes application code without requiring the complete application to be exercised at runtime. - Software composition analysis: Examines third-party components and dependencies for the risks covered by the scanner. - Dependency vulnerability analysis: Brings third-party software components into the vulnerability review process. - Developer workflow integration: Places security findings into the development processes documented by the vendor. - CI/CD integration: Supports running security checks as part of a software delivery pipeline. - Infrastructure configuration analysis: Checks infrastructure definitions alongside application code where this capability is included. - Secrets detection: Looks for exposed credentials or secrets within the supported development assets. Use and operational context SonarQube Cloud is relevant to development and application security teams when the requirement centers on finding or addressing weaknesses in software. Scope the evaluation around the functions listed above and the assets or workflows that need coverage. A useful trial should use representative business conditions so the team can assess the quality of the results and the effort needed to act on them. Deployment and evaluation Deployment: Cloud service / SaaS; Self-managed / on-premises option documented by the vendor. Before adoption, review supported languages or targets, scan placement, finding quality and how developers validate proposed fixes. Assign an owner for administration, document required permissions and identify how the product or service will fit the existing operating process. Buyer questions - What is the main purpose? SonarQube Cloud focuses on finding or addressing weaknesses in software. - What should a proof of concept establish? Test the listed capabilities against representative assets and workflows, record useful results and unresolved gaps, and confirm who handles follow-up work. - What should be confirmed before purchase? Ask the vendor which edition or service scope includes the required features, which dependencies must be configured and what licensing or contract terms apply.

SonarQube Server
SonarQube Server from Sonar focuses on source code quality and security analysis. It is application security technology used for finding or addressing weaknesses in software. Capabilities - Self-managed code analysis: Provides the documented server-managed environment for administering code analysis. - Static application security testing: Analyzes application code without requiring the complete application to be exercised at runtime. - Software composition analysis: Examines third-party components and dependencies for the risks covered by the scanner. - Dependency vulnerability analysis: Brings third-party software components into the vulnerability review process. - Developer workflow integration: Places security findings into the development processes documented by the vendor. - CI/CD integration: Supports running security checks as part of a software delivery pipeline. - Infrastructure configuration analysis: Checks infrastructure definitions alongside application code where this capability is included. - Secrets detection: Looks for exposed credentials or secrets within the supported development assets.
