Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product allows us to implement feature-related changes or improvements on time. Whenever I write a section of the code or create a new code, it automatically integrates with the former code."
"Codespaces' most valuable feature is the repository, which helps the developers to work together. Its data commands are also useful."
"The most valuable features of the solution are Copilot and Advanced Security."
"Large scale of projects, templates, and coding support."
"When you have to develop in Java, this IDE is ideal because it has many plugins that make your life easier... For example, when working with Hibernate or with JPA, creating entities is very easy through a graphical interface."
"C++ 11 support (for a long time)"
"The learning curve is easy and fast because the interface is simple and intuitive, enabling us to easily train developers who are not expert in metrics."
"It comes out of package fully-loaded with a lot of great features for web development."
"Server Support"
"One of the most important features is that Apache Maven supports it."
"It is easy to deploy, manage servers, and ORMS resources."
 

Cons

"We get merge conflict errors and need to resolve them."
"The product indicates incorrect statistics."
"The technical support could respond faster."
"Background scanning of sources on demand, disallowed by Options (processor usage, build cannot be deleted by the old version build)."
"One of main areas that the tool can improve is performance."
"Debugging: Watches, Evaluate Expression, and data inspection are limited."
"I would like there to be better integration with Git, as there are IDEs such as Eclipse that offer this integration in a much more elegant way than NetBeans."
"t is a very heavy load on the computer, especially when you compare with Sublime Text Limited plugins and themes."
"There are always rooms for improvement for any product. The good thing with NetBeans is that since it is Open Source, you can just go ahead and contribute whatever you want to change yourself."
"The debugging mechanize could be improved compared to IntelliJ, for example."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From what I've seen, the solution doesn't seem like it's overly expensive for what you get."
"I am using the product’s free version."
"It is an open source and free tool, with no changes, and the licensing allows me even to change source code, if I need."
"I am sad that CLion is not free. Currently, it has no support for Linux makefiles, only cmake, and this is a big mess."
"NetBeans is free and open source."
