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."

"The most valuable features of the solution are Copilot and Advanced Security."

"Codespaces' most valuable feature is the repository, which helps the developers to work together. Its data commands are also useful."

"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."

"Server Support"

"It is easy to deploy, manage servers, and ORMS resources."

"C++ 11 support (for a long time)"

"One of the most important features is that Apache Maven supports it."

"Large scale of projects, templates, and coding support."

"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."

Cons

"The product indicates incorrect statistics."

"We get merge conflict errors and need to resolve them."

"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)."

"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."

"One of main areas that the tool can improve is performance."

"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."

"Debugging: Watches, Evaluate Expression, and data inspection are limited."

"The debugging mechanize could be improved compared to IntelliJ, for example."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the product’s free version."

"From what I've seen, the solution doesn't seem like it's overly expensive for what you get."

"NetBeans is free and open source."

"I am sad that CLion is not free. Currently, it has no support for Linux makefiles, only cmake, and this is a big mess."

"It is an open source and free tool, with no changes, and the licensing allows me even to change source code, if I need."
