## Reviews

### "Very good tool for Code Quality and Code Security" — 5.0/5

> **Fernando** | *July 15, 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Dashboard with project info like bugs, vulnerbilities, code smell and test coverage
> 
> **Cons**: Some configuration items are not clear to set.  I would like a better documentation
> 
> We use SONAR in our software development process to guarantee the code quality and the code security. We integrate SONAR with Jenkins and SVN

### "Sonar is a game-changer\!" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *September 16, 2024* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about Freight Waves SONAR is how it provides real-time data and insights, making it easier to make quick, informed decisions. The platform breaks down complex freight information like rates and capacity trends into simple, easy-to-read visuals. It’s also great that everything you need is in one place, saving time and helping you plan better.
> 
> **Cons**: What I liked least about Freight Waves SONAR is that it can be a bit overwhelming at first because there’s so much data. It takes a little time to get used to navigating all the features. Some of the more advanced tools can be tricky for beginners, too.
> 
> Overall, my experience with FreightWaves SONAR has been really good. It gives you a ton of real-time data that’s super helpful for understanding market trends and making quick decisions. It does take a little time to figure out all the features—kind of like trying to find your way around a new city without Google Maps—but once you do, it’s a game-changer. Sure, some of the advanced tools felt like trying to decode a secret message, but the info is so useful that it’s worth the learning curve. Plus, even if you don’t use all the fancy features, it’s still a must-have for anyone in the freight world.

### "FreightWaves SONAR - Solid Tool, Room For Improvement" — 4.0/5

> **Nick** | *August 8, 2024* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 1) Ease of Use 2) Visualization of the TRAC Spot Graph 3) Ability to flip between flat rates and per mile rates
> 
> **Cons**: 1) Accuracy is a little off in my experience - rates can be significantly higher than projected by SONAR for some lanes 2) I wish the market data was a little more thorough / easier to read. I would love to be able to see more depth as it relates to capacity in the lane on a daily basis. 3) I would enjoy a 'tie in' feature where you could compare company lane history against the market history. Just more data to compare and leverage when making decisions
> 
> Overall, I enjoy using SONAR. I find it to be easy to read and use. I have mixed results as far as rate accuracy goes.
