What the Team is Saying
What We Do
Software-driven digital innovation is essential for competing in today's market, and the foundation of this innovation is code. However, there are widespread cracks in this foundation – lines of bad, insecure, and poorly written code – that manifests into tech debt, security incidents, and availability issues. With Sonar, developers and organizations are empowered to create quality, secure code confidently, whether written by humans or generated with AI.
The Sonar solution, SonarQube, helps prevent code quality and security issues from reaching production, amplifies developers' productivity in concert with AI assistants, and improves the developer experience with streamlined workflows. Sonar analyzes all code, regardless of who writes it—your internal team or genAI—resulting in more secure, reliable, and maintainable software.
At Sonar, we are driven by a deep belief in our people, a commitment to excellence, and an unwavering dedication to delivery. We operate as a united group where our collective success is the sum of each individual's contributions.
