Differences between SonarQube and SonarCloud

SonarQube Cloud

It seems like SonarQube and SonarCloud are 2 different products, why is there a difference between SonarQube and SonarCloud, i don’t get it honestly. I would expect SonarCloud is like the SaaS version of SonarQube, but apparently it isn’t.

Main frustrating differences:

  • New code definition
  • Sarif report import
  • Flutter/Dart development roadmap
  • …

Hey there.

While sharing the same core analysis engine, SonarQube and SonarCloud have taken separate trajectories over the years. I share your frustration (answering questions about our products all day, I have to remember hyper-specific differences between the two products :melting_face:).

I expect more alignment to occur “soon” – but I don’t have more specific details to share right now. I expect a lot more details will be available in 2024.

Hey @C302

Just an update, we now support importing SARIF reports in SonarCloud.

Keep your eyes peeled for Flutter/Dart support… it’s coming very soon to SonarCloud. :eyes:
