Introduction
Since its launch in 2018, SonarCloud’s growth has been exciting and impressive. Today, over 3.6B lines of code (LOC) are continuously analyzed for issues relating to reliability, security, and maintainability across 179k active projects and 16k companies.
SonarCloud analyzes the quality and security of source code for both human-developed and AI-assisted code at scale.
Introducing new plans for SonarCloud
Today we are excited to expand our SonarCloud offering with the availability of two new plans, SonarCloud Enterprise and SonarCloud Team. With the new Enterprise and Team plans for SonarCloud, Sonar empowers development teams of all sizes to deliver Clean Code with confidence.
The SonarCloud Enterprise plan delivers a range of advanced features and is now available via an early access program. It delivers single sign-on (SSO) via SAML, enterprise hierarchy, management reporting, portfolios, org-wide project configuration, and support for enterprise-specific languages such as COBOL.
We intend to build upon these features in the coming months, adding enterprise billing, scalable token management, synchronized access management, and US hosting (to complement the existing EU hosting). In addition, the Enterprise plan includes access to commercial support and a dedicated SLA. We welcome you to contact us to learn more about the value these features bring, and to try them for yourself.
For new SonarCloud projects, the following features will be exclusively available with the SonarCloud Enterprise plan: enterprise languages (ABAP, COBOL, RPG, PL/I, Apex), GitHub Advanced security integration, org-level Project management, and Quality Profile delegate permissions.
More about the new SonarCloud Enterprise features
SSO (Single Sign-On) authentication through SAML delivers increased security and a single source of truth for user authentication at the enterprise level.
Today, we cover Microsoft Entra ID as well as other providers (IdPs) such as Okta and JumpCloud. This will allow enterprise users to connect through their company’s centralized identity provider. Authentication via the DevOps platform will still be available.

Enterprise hierarchy delivers the ability to group organizations into an enterprise, independently from the DevOps platform(s). This solves the challenge for large enterprises that have multiple organizations and need a way to manage these. It also paves the way for portfolios to be created across multiple organizations.

Portfolios enable managers to group together projects into a portfolio and identify which needs focus and in what respect. Providing a bird's eye view of projects that may span organizations within an Enterprise, managers can be directed toward the projects needing the most attention.

Management reporting offers Project and Security reports similar to those found in SonarQube.
It delivers a view of the state of an enterprise’s projects and highlights any issues you may have from the point of view of a range of industry security metrics (PCI DSS, OWASP, and CWE Top 25).

Org-wide project configuration eases the pain of onboarding and managing high volumes of projects. This feature allows users to configure default settings that can be applied to all projects at onboarding.

The SonarCloud Team plan delivers essential capabilities for small development teams and businesses, both from an ecosystem integration and collaboration perspective. It provides a reliable SaaS solution delivering branch analysis, pull request decoration, and support for 28 languages and frameworks.
With the Team plan, developers can scan both public and private projects for actionable insights that enable consistent and efficient Clean Code delivery all in a simple, fast time-to-value SaaS model hosted by Sonar. Teams also have control to define the quality standard they want their codebase to follow.
Simplified pricing based on lines of code benefits both Team and Enterprise plans. Additionally, SonarCloud is now available on AWS Marketplace.
We will continue to offer our Free SonarCloud plan to support open-source projects.
