Codenvy vs. Koding vs. Nitrous.IO

click click click they you go and code

Well integrated IDE, framework support and preview. Extremely robust and well executed product.

It only needs few clicks and you can get your application codebase set up using many stack from backend frameworks such as Spring to frontend ones such AngularJS...

I quickly got a chrome book for college not knowing that it only did web apps. I do a lot of coding on my spare time and was disappointed when I discovered that I couldn't get all of the IDEs I wanted. Thankfully I found Codenvy and it has been everything I could really ask for!

Codenvy is the platform that allows me to: 1. create a new project totally online, and push my code to a new github repository, 2. use my favorite build and dependency management tool Maven 3. deploy on a web hosting service provider with a few clicks 4. do all the above without installing anything on any PC.

Initially I doubted the speed and the responsiveness of the system but I discovered that on a normal workstation and on chrome using their plugin, the performance behavior is similar to a heavy desktop IDE. Their platform is also available for corporate use behind any firewalls.

Finally, on their github account, there are repositories with all their sourcecode allowing anyone to suggest improvements and contribute with new or to existing plugins.

I have been using Codenvy from quite a long time. And I must this powerful cloud IDE in the market. It has all features like IDE, Source-code manager integration, Build environments, Debugging tools with real time collaboration with your team members.

I must recommend this cloud IDE to get your dev part easy and secure.

I was introduced to codenvy by one of the employer at the third technical interview during the recruitment process. I strongly support codeenvy because it is excellent at same look and feel, auto-complete powered and it helped me to spot the errors through which I was able to correct them and not get trapped by interviewer on trivial things.

I recommend this application.

I recently started using Codenvy to work on developing a Tomcat application. I have a few different computers that I use. Instead of setting up multiple tomcat instances and trying to replicate each installation across all of my systems, Codenvy gives me a platform I can access anywhere I have access to a browser with the same set up.

Setting up the project was relatively painless. I just cloned my project from GitHub and set it up through Maven.

Being able to preview the site in the browser was a plus.

I would recommend Codenvy to anyone who needs an extremely portable and reliable set up.

I have just started using Codenvy, but MAN, I was blown away from the very first go!

Accessible, easy to get into, great introduction and all of this or free? Yeh, and on top, the pricing model for paid services seem more than fair, too!

You need a place to do development, while working from potentially more computers? Your company laptop does not allow you to install the development tools you need?

Then Codenvy is the place for you go be! Just like me :)

Good IDE with git integration. Can see myself using this more in the future.

+Great UI +Easy to use +Git integration +Lot of tech and languages supported +Online +Fast and helpful +Linux commandline available

-App run times limited

I recently purchased a Chromebook while my Main Computer was in repair. That's when I ran across Codenvy Cloud IDE and it works flawlessly. Wish I would have known about it sooner. Friendly to use, Super cool Customer Service that really know their stuff-- and overall Bad A** Program. Highly Recommend!!

With chromebook this is the best solution for developers!

Codenvy is terrific. There are several IDEs available on the cloud, and codenvy is one of the best. The interface is very user friendly and untuitive, and it's great having everything just the way you like it, no matter what computer you're using. It's great to have a cloud IDE like codenvy to use on my chromebook, when I just want to make some quick changes while I'm out and about.

Many online IDEs don't support Java like Codenvy. With their easy to use interface this tool is a must for any dev!

I love the editor, it's really fast and smooth. I have also used other cloud editor but they have lags while editing the codes which is not the case with codenvy.

Ability to install anything from terminal + multiple database support makes it more awesome.

codenvy seems nice, lots of features, many platforms are supported. But rather difficult to set up, in my case, I failed to set up a php project imported from github, because my application need to change some directory permissions , and codenvy restrict it.

But it get jobs done for simple project that does not require complicated setup!

Codeenvy works great with Maven projects. Other cloud IDEs almost exclusively focus on javascript and node projects.

I haven't been coding for a very long time. It took me a while to feel comfortable with Codenvy over more traditional IDEs. After some adjusting, I have learned to love it. The ability to use it cross platform, on-the-fly via the Chrome Browser has become a Godsend. I've been able to walk people through some of the parts that it would take me 5x longer if going through a traditional IDE. The fact that it's the same everywhere is amazing. I can tell someone on a PC to click somewhere and it will be the same on my Mac.

I will say that it's not perfect. It can sometimes lag, or sometimes give me an error here or there, but at least it works. When I first started to code, I tried to set up the same things on my Eclipse IDE and it took forever, and got all sorts of errors. On codenvy, they made it easy and nearly flawless. I've even tried other online IDEs, but they are buggy and lack the depth that codenvy does.

Very easy to use IDE. Smart code completion and documentation pop-up. Well done guys.

On my search for a cloud IDE that fits my requirements I found codenvy to be pretty much "on point". It allows me to work on my projects from every computer and I found it to be one of the most userfriendly cloud IDEs I tested so far. The creation of new projects is dead simple as you can choose from a lot of pre-defined developement environments. Even the free version has more than enough features for hobby coders to work on their projects.

Even as a relatively new programmer (~3 years of experience), I have tried probably half a dozen cloud IDEs. After about a year now using Codenvy I have found it to greatly increase my coding productivity which i have yet to find in other solutions. The scope of languanges in Codenvy is the best out of any equivalant I have yet to find. Additonally the syncing with github AS WELL AS bitbucket is price less to me. Instead of wasting my time with a cloud IDE after realizing it doesn't support something I consider crucial, I am able to actually get work done as that has yet to be the case with Codenvy yet. If it does I'll let you know but for now Happy coding!

Really easy to use. Don't have to download any tools or don't have to worry about new version installation for any language. Everything is on the cloud. Easy to share your code and work together from different locations in the world.

CoNS : Debugging is hard.

I use codenvy and I love :D

This IDE rocks, really. I have used almost all IDEs that exist from Eclipse to Netbeans to Jetbrains, and some cloud-based IDEs, but Codenvy is the best.

It has real-time collaboration, the setup is very easy. It has git support and integrates with GitHub and BitBucket.

And if you are a little hipster like me, it uses Docker to isolate workspaces.

But the best is the free tier with 512 MB of RAM and unlimited workspaces, free and public projects and developers. That's awesome.

I've really loved using codenvy ever since I got my chromebook last year. It is really easy to use, and surprisingly fast! Everytime I sit down to code, codenvy makes my life easier!

the development experience is excellent and easy to navigate through the code editing process I would recommend it to any developers who want to work cross platforms and want to build numerous amounts of projects for testing and deployment!.

it helps focus on workflow not the server or tools i need to use, really cool way to code a webapp. I has a lots of room for inputing the code along with all cloud ide features.So i dont have to worry for server or ide no installation hassle.But as a free user what im missing is not enough instance session timeout. but paid plans can withdraw that limit. anyway im happy with Codenvy

It was amazing to stumble upon codenvy. With multiple computers and frequent travel, life could not have been easier without codenvy. I can recommend this, to free up from old-age IT process to reduce onboarding process of new folks, to say the least. I have used it for Google App Engine apps without any heartburn.

This is the most awesome cloud IDE I've used.. Can build any java project without worrying about dependecies. Even Android.. Awesome!

The best thing that I love about Codenvy is that I can code things that randomly come to mind. When I'm at school (and during class, but don't tell my professors that) I occasionally get bits of inspiration that I need to investigate. Codenvy creates an environment that allows me to "fidget" with my code, I'm able to quickly problem solve and test new things. Codenvy is a perfect match for my intellectual curiosity and allows me to constantly evolve as a programmer.

First of all, my first language is french. I tested many Cloud IDE. Codenvy got me by it's simple and sleek interface. I really like the way you can manage many projects and many wokspaces. Moreover, the coding interface is clear. What a positive point as I don't need to search for functions; I just focus on coding.

By the way, it's really great that you can create differents configurations and that you can switch between them. (Ex: Apache 2.4 + MySQL 14.14 + PHP 5.6)

Con: I didn't find a way to put the interface in french language.

Give it a try!

Its ease of use makes it one of the best cloud IDE's in the market. The convoluted development environment configuration steps will no longer be a worry if you start using this. Also, its FAST!!..what do you need more from a cloud IDE.

Some improvements are needed for shared workspace areas (doesn't sync up well sometimes). However, best IDE for develop and deploy applications.

So Fast to use. I like the developer tools.

I first registered for Codenvy when it was in its early stages of Beta and a spin-off of the eXo Platform. It had first of its kind Java Application development platform. I did not do much on it then, but during October 2014, when I revisited the IDE, it was a complete makeover.

I had been using IDE for quite some time (few worth mentioning are Cloud9, Codio, Koding), but Codenvy was different. I will not speak technical stuff, as it is quite a relative thing to mention. I will only notify everybody about the ease and smoothness within the IDE. Most of the IDE were clunky and I do not blame them. They were early adopters of market, but Codenvy is without any clutter. The terminal and the keyboard works the way as if you are working on local.

I will not talk about Github integration and other open source capabilities within the Codenvy instance, rather I focus on a good UI and the efficiency of doing stuff.

Will recommend to all novice and ninja developers.

Learn -> innovate -> inspire.

Taking the old "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule at face value, Sony Santa Monica has done very little to alter how things work, though there's been a bit of welcome polish on nearly every facet of gameplay. That is, if you were expecting a revolution in terms of design, you'll be sorely disappointed. But, if you simply wanted more of what has made the series so great up to this point, you're going to be quite happy indeed.

I've been using codenvy and this one is the most easy to use as compared to the other ones out there. Also, the customer support is quite awesome and these guys are always available for help. The paid subscription is also quite useful and I'm planning to get one soon.

I must say it took me a long time to actually try Codenvy, but after I discovered the advantages of working with an online IDE, everything changed for me. But what made me choose codenvy was is the great system they have built. It's fast, reliable and, so far, is working very nice to me.

P.S. We'll ship you a Codenvy t-shirt for an honest and detailed online review - both pros and cons - at the Chrome Web Store or GetApp. Plus, if you "like" Codenvy on AlternativeTo (click the heart at the top right of the page) we'll throw in a couple Codenvy stickers! Just reply with where you left your review and if you liked, your t-shirt size and shipping address. :)

I've got couple of words for Codenvy : Very fast and reliable platform! I didnt see a thing about premium stuff .. Which make it the perfect choise for everybody!! 5/5 stars from me :P

PS : Keep UP Codenvy!

I recently started using Codenvy to work on developing a PHP site. Very clean and easy to use IDE. Pros: Works with chrome os!!! Good IDE with git integration Linux command line available Great for group projects Cons: App run times limited

I have been coding in eclipse IDE for various projects, and need to carry my laptop wherever i go, which was really a hectic thing to do in this cloud culture era where i can access all devops thing from browser. When i discovered a link for codenvy, i was not sure of its working or interface but i explored the interface and i was amazed by the features it provided. I really look forward to take codenvy seriously for the future projects and recommend all developers to at-least try codenvy once for sure and you will love it.

Hoping to see many new features and redefine the coding on IDE from any browser.

I am evaluating ChromeOS as an alternative to other OS, so the first thing was to find an adequate IDE for all my programming issues that runs in the cloud/in the browser. And I found it! Codenvy fulfills all my needs. Beginning with Android programming, a bunch of examples for every kind of programming languages and great tutorials. Awesome! First of all I tried to configure the Java IDE with Maven and GIT working with my projectspecific pom.xml including our own artifactory and my GIT-repositories on guthub. And it worked after half an hour. Another AWESOME for this. It would be nice to have a bitbucket-Interface, too, because most of my friends have their GIT-Repositories in Bitbucket. And now let's look for all the other AWESOMEs! Great stuff!

I got this IDE because I needed a way to develop PHP on my chromebook. It was really simple to set up and I was developing within minutes. The very straightforward interface helps to stay focused on the development instead of trying to learn the IDE. There is one thing that I was left wanting: a live preview of the project. Maybe that option is there and I haven't found it, but that feature would make this IDE the best around.

Codenvy is the go-to platform if you're looking for a solution that allows your team to be able to code, test and ship on the go.

I am still learning it but this is so far the best one I have tried, for any serious Java developers. Now I can code anywhere!

Codenvy has been the best way for me to work on Java projects on my chromebook without having to go into a full linux installation.

I used codenvy for the first time, and to be honest... is the best cloud ide. Good job codenvy team

I found Codenvy very powerful online coding tool,

Pros: In minutes we can setup project and start flying.

Cons: not identified yet... ;)

I found Codenvy very powerful online coding tool,

Cons: not identified yet... ;)

Pros: Very Easy to use. Support multiple frameworks Great Reliability Minimum effort to set up.

Cons: requires internet

Still need to learn a lot of stuff about code envy.

The ease of use with this is so great! Its simple as create a project and load your environment and just start coding. The docs are extremely extensive and information on anything you can think of. A down side is the new user dashboard it just feels well incomplete granted you can opt out or into this which is really nice, But for now it just feels a bit cluttered in my opinion. Other then that the service is absolutely great! I really recommend it especially if you want to code from anywhere.

Created a Go project on Codenvy, was able to start-up very fast, and also it didn't lag as much as other previous cloud IDEs that I have used. Was also easy to compile projects and get them running.

However, I sometimes develop using node.js and javascript and noticed there wasn't any support for creating a nodejs project directly, there was for angularjs though which was alright.

Again, it was fast and reliable.

Zero configuration, more time to code.

Great cloud based programming environment, great interface. Allows for seamless integration with existing projects via. github. However more sample environments would be a great plus in addition to to more available languages, i.e. Scala

This served as a great platform for a school project.

Codenvy has improved our workflow by enabling us to share workspaces and projects with our distributed team. +1

I'm fairly satisfied with codenvy. It is a great looking developing ecosystem that works very well. One of my favorite thing about it is the integration with github, which allows me to share projects with friends. Plus, because it is built on top of eclipse there are a lot of handy plugins available that can a make a difference when coding a new or existing project. The support of many different programming languages is also a great advantage. And on top of all of that, there is no need to install additional programs. Everything is ready to go.

This is a great cloud IDE and has many positives. The inclusion of Java and C++ support is one of the major plus points. Another great positive is the ability to have private projects under the free account.

However, before using codenvy first look at the pricing plans. As although its sales pitch puts forward that you get a lot, it will go and you will be faced with either a migration or premium plan.

Offline caching similar to how Google Docs works would also be great I often do a lot of work on the move and this struggles on a 3G connection.

I would like to see more hours on the free plan, or work out a better free monthly quota.

I've haven't been using Codenvy that long, but it's been long enough for me to say I'm in love. A few other devs and I use it on a daily basis, utilizing its collaboration features. It's great, since most of us at least 1,000 miles apart. Stay awesome, guys.

As the many pros listed here echo, Codenvy is very handy for the following reasons (at least in my case):

• Portable
• Can use on my chromebook
• Easy to Use
• Supports Java (yay!)
• Can resume work on any of my machines!

CodeEnvy is my team's favorite app for collaborative working. It gives a lot of advantages over similar apps like cloud9 and Koding. Try it out! You won't regret it ;D

Have to worry about the requirements other desktop IDEs want before installation. Now if m not with my laptop and want to code then i just need a system with internet connection and boom, "Codenvy".

I was skeptical when I saw it popup in the chrome apps, but decided to give it a shot. I wasn't disappointing.

I was just looking for a lean IDE for Java, I found a lot more than that. Their was support for just about anything you want to do. Git and Svn support was baked in as well. The ide is fast and responsive. Seeing C++ support was also a very welcomed surprise.

I don't have anything negative to say at all, I have two recommendation/request for the future: With .net going open I would like to see support for it in the near future, and tighter integration with bitbucket would be nice for me.

After disappointment in Nitrous.io which no longer offer free tire in my region, I tried several others cloud IDE. Codenvy turns out to be perfect solution. Very nice looking editor, easy to setup work space, very fast cloud service. Also they offer good support for variety of languages and frameworks. Free tier is good enough for testing purpose. Overall, highly recommended.

I love that I can now use my Chromebook for all aspects of my web development. Codenvy made that happen by have a quality editor available to use on this platform. Thanks Codenvy!

I dont want to talk about ambitions of Codenvy. Their growth rates speak for themselves. The developers have done a very high quality product. It contains a lot of interesting solutions. Such as code refactoring, multi mode and invitations. And if you have an account in Google, the registration may take a few minutes. But if you do not wish to use a Google account, the registration of this does not become complicated, and will remain the same simple. Codenvy supports a large number of languages ​​- Java, Java Script, PHP, Python, Ruby, HTML, and CSS. And their number is constantly increasing. As far as I know, the Codenvy editor was originally made for Java, so it would be desirable for other languages ​​to see the editor of the same excellent functionality. Before deploying the application, users are able to collect and publish the project, run it on a local server Codenvy or run the application in debug mode. And it's all in the cloud! Also Codenvy uses Git as a version control system that will appeal to most developers. Already available the invitation to people your virtual workplace (import Google contacts or address an invitation), as well as an invitation to GitHub collaborators. Now you can use Codenvy absolutely free. I also want to add, it would be nice if there was support for the russian language to the russian-speaking community has been able to use the service without problems.

I'm fairly new to coding and have been playing around mostly with Python to get my feet wet. I was concerned when I first began programming that I would not be able to do anything with a Chromebook but thanks to #Codenvy and it's cloud based tools I am able to code to my heart's content right in my browser. I am a huge proponent of cloud based technology. I believe the cloud and thin clients are the future. I believe it is how we will all get our work done and I'm very happy to see programmers tools like this in the cloud!

I have been using Codenvy for a few weeks,Codenvy provides fully featured IDE and have a good customer support.It also provides a vm for testing and provides all kinds of environment for testing your app.Most importantly,it support custom environment that you can customize using docker.

Good Software collection . Good use and user friendly.

I'm still in the process of exploring the various nooks and crannies of Codenvy, but it seems like a decent enough IDE for what they provide. Creating a new project is a snap, it's a really nice part of their design. Documentation is decent enough. Very extensible and flexible when it comes to developing for a wide range of languages. Haven't had to deal with support yet, so I can't honestly review that portion. I just wish they had a student plan for data usage.

I have used alot of different IDE's that are online and use the cloud such as Cloud 9 and others like it, but Codenvy is my favorite and I think that every developer should use it. It works great for all different programming languages as other IDE's only let you develop in languages like Html, Css, Ruby, Python, etc but Codenvy allows you to do so much more with a wide range of different programming languages such as C++, Java, C, and so much more. I highly recommend this IDE to any developer that wants to work on the cloud to avoid data lose and can use different computers and even work in teams.

It is the best platform for coding any language at any place.

I recently purchased a Chromebook to experiment with, planning to run Ubuntu alongside ChromeOS for web development work. Before running through the ordeal of getting Crouton set up I did a bit of searching for online IDEs, and subsequently found Codenvy. The IDE is painless to get used to, and developing purely in the cloud is incredibly comfortable. So far I have primarily done basic web design and development with Codenvy (mostly JavaScript/jQuery testing), but it has worked great. Ultimately I have not needed to install Ubuntu on my Chromebook, as Codenvy has given me a very easy platform for web development that while perfectly suitable for getting work done, is also free. It can't be beaten, and I recommend it to any developer, especially anyone looking to get work done with a Chromebook. My only complaint is that I am not a fan of sending out invites to other people, and would like more GB hours upfront but, given that I haven't paid anything for the service, I have no real room to complain.

I've used just about all the cloud IDEs out there. Codenvy was definitely the easiest and most reliable to use!

No guessing, or trying to set everything up, just boot it up and it works. It gets even better if you're collaborating, cause they make it super easy!

If you're looking for a cloud IDE solution, try this one first, and then stick with it, cause it's awesome!

Working on projects has never been easier. I mainly use git hub for long term projects and collaboration, but when I'm stuck on some code it's great to get one of my friends to just sign in and edit it on the fly.

I got my girlfriend to start coding because the interface was easy to understand and she is actually using it for a project with python. I couldn't be happier!

I didn´t use this platform so much I didn´t understand it very well, but I think that is useful tool for web deveplopers, and I found this web page when I had the neccesity of a web compiler for Java, so I think that Condevy is a great tool for this.

The best thing that happened to me from cloud, Anytime Anywhere is the correct word for Code Envy, I start my projects at home and continue while travelling or at office. Integration with Git is quite handy, quick start saves a lot of time, Java Development has become a quick start, may it be Spring, JSF.

Code Envy should also provide Java Script real time support like Plunker etc.

Coding was always a passion for me, I started as an amateur. Initially it was very difficult to get with it but codenvy changed the entire scenario.

codenvy allows me to start a new project without the hassle of configuring environment, another advantage of it is it's connectivity with Developers paradise GitHub. It helps me in saving time right from installing things to deploying projects to the server.

A true lifetime experience it is!!

A happy and Proud Codenvier.. :)

Hey! great work ! I can now edit my codebase on the fly ! without booting any code editor. Easy management and seamless deployment! great job. Cheers :)

I needed something that would let me rapid-fire instances of the same application, collab on it with my team and then deploy it to our CI.

I reviewed several cloud ide type platforms and codeenvy was the most flexible. It helps when you need but keeps you from having to do everything manually.

With docker and other new tools I can see a lot of these tools getting better and better. Codeenvy seems to recognize that.

Real ease of use with various built-in support functionalities. I am realized amazed at how easy it is to work on this and I am really thrilled to code using Codeenvy. It saves you lot of time trust me :)

I have been using codenvy for one of my last project and it really rocks. It helps you to work everywhere you are making easy to develop your app. It's easy to use and I have founded nice examples that make it even easier to understand how it works.

Codenvy is a easy to use coding program that allows users to begin coding using a variety of programming languages. The no crash feature eliminates the frustration of losing data before it is saved. I recommend Codenvy to any aspiring team of developers looking for a place to start.

The tool is very functional for development. I attempted to try different cloud based IDEs including self hosted but this one is having all the nuts and bolts required for the product's SDLC. Loved it !

It's amazing how you can object to something so passionately, but flip your attitude altogether when you finally give it a chance. Cloud computing from the outside seems frail and limited in its capacities.

Having grown up in the gray-era between desktop apps and the migration to the cloud, I can relate to many people's reservations. As cloud-computing grows more powerful, though, this conservative position is becoming outdated and invalid. In fact, having used Codenvy now, cloud-computing seems light and agile, compared to the more powerful and heavy-set desktop IDEs.

Much like Google Chrome rejuvenated Internet browsing, Codenvy is helping revolutionize development; however, Google Chrome has grown heavy and slow for many over the years. Although Chrome is still very popular and functional, the browser has lost much of the lite GUI and simplistic design that once shadowed over competitors. I just hope Codenvy can avoid such a path down the road.

So far, Codenvy has a relatively easy to understand design. Navigation bars could use some more thought as far as making the user interface more intuitive. Codenvy's biggest area for potential improvement, though, is debugging and error messages. In fact, this is my only major reason for continuing to use a desktop IDE for the time being. The error messages and debugging capabilities of Codenvy and every other cloud development tool I have tried are utterly lacking compared to popular desktop tools. This one weakness alone for I and many others is enough to negate the elegance of remote-hosting and cloud development.

i like the fact that this tool is cloud based and i can use it wherever i am. That alone is worth five star. Its also very easy to use. Great job guys

Works great for a mobile user! From classroom to consult to collaboration to anywhere. Love it!

I am no coding expert, and I recently started developing a modern web app on my own. Learning a new language/framework (AngularJS) has been difficult, and I was scouring Google for an IDE that would aid my efforts instead of complicating them. I tried quite a few and settled on Codenvy.

I have just started working on Codenvy and I'm liking it already. To start with, it's free for individual and minimal use, and even if I were to scale my site up tomorrow into a full-blown business, they offer very affordable pricing plans. My laptop has slowed down these days due to an overload of development applications, and I love that Codenvy resides on the cloud. Somehow, I also feel my code will be safer because of that. I saw that they had built-in "builders" for Maven dependencies, which even leading IDEs like Eclipse don't seem to have (I could be wrong because it has been a few years since I used Eclipse, but that won't take away from Codenvy's asset).

I didn't find any weaknesses so far, but I would have loved to see support for Django which is a technology used by so many developers today. I will definitely miss that, and I would also like to see built-in integrations between technologies like Angular and Django, if at all it's possible for IDEs.

Overall, I look forward to working on my first ever cloud IDE and I am sure Codenvy will contribute to me improving my development skills.

Came through this while trying to find a way do develop under my Chromebook, and I'm really impressed by what it does. With few clicks is possible to have a fully functional development stack that you can use to learn, practice and even develop fully functional apps.

Would be even better if it opens as a Chrome App instead of a Chrome tab.

When our school switched over to Chromebooks, my search for a way to program on them ended in me choosing Codenvy. It only took a couple of minutes to set up and get going. The fact that i can access my projects from any computer, regardless of processing power, is unbelievably helpful. I wouuld like if they added offline support, and some more templates, but all in all Codenvy is a great piece of software.

I have only done some lightweight initial development and has been great: seamless flow, quick response, easy to use and productive quickly. I plan to spend some more quality in the future with this.

I use this for test simple algorithm, web view.

This is not only convenient to use and contains all the necessary functions between any IDE dealt with previously.

If unsatisfactory point - gradle is not supported. Otherwise it seems to be able to replace the IDE that owns the future.

Codenvy is seriously great for people who want to program without the need of an expensive, RAM-heavy computer. I own an Acer C720 and I have been using it to learn coding through a variety of courses, and codenvy has been my primary IDE for all the languages I learned.

I highly recommend to use this easy-to-integrate, non-resource-intensive IDE for your programming needs.

As a student I was looking for something that I can use everywhere and I tried a lot of cloud IDE for use around all my devices, until finally I found Codenvy. It's easy to use and very novice friendly with a powerful design and tools that now make my life easy for code in my desktop, my chromebook or any pc in my college campus. I recommend 100% Codenvy to anyone from novice to expert to use it. Thanks!

Let me start with the pros and cons of this product.

Pros: 1. Excellent IDE to develop server-side apps with Java, Spring, Python, Ruby, or PHP.

1. Multiple easy-to-use platform integrations with Amazon Elastic Beanstalk, AppFog, CloudBees, Cloud Foundry, Google App Engine, Heroku and OpenShift. So, you do not need to worry about integrating with your preferred platform.

2. The basic version is free to use with 512 MB of RAM and unlimited workspaces, free and public projects.

3. Developers can create temporary IDE workspaces with full code, build, test, deploy, and collaboration functionality. You can even share it with others using a URL.

4. Its secure browser-based editor supports multi-cursor, syntax highlighting, code completion, refactoring and lots more. You can even use it to edit, build, run and debug projects. It even has multi-cursor support. Moreover, the layout is extremely similar to Eclipse. So developers won't have problems adopting to it.

5. Codenvy supports all Git commands through UI and Codenvy CLI.

Cons: 1. A first time user does not need to know all of the tools. He needs to look at a sample project to understand the layout.

1. Drag and drop isn't supported.

2. Two-factor authentication isn't supported.

3. Lacks Mercurial support. Currently the Codenvy supports Git and SVN Version Control Systems.

4. Poor support for PHP. The syntax isn't highlighted and there isn't even a debugger for PHP.

Pros: Online IDE provides mobility and worldwide programmer feedback. Multi-language adds flexibility to the IDE Codenvy has help files ,tutorials and provides a free service for entry level programmers, while maintaining a serious platform for advanced programming. Very fast IDE with multiple runners.

Cons: It is a growing Development idea with room for advancement, I would like a better emulator for mobile devices, seems to run slow.

Summing it up, I am using Codenvy and enjoying the fact I can edit from 4G.

easy to use its like make project start & code one minus is that you have 512 ram which is kinda bad for java things also Code envy is easy to use and its very easy to deploy it on cloud. Some times the working code isnt debugged I don't know the problem maybe its just me the IDE is like linux terminal feels the same some commands are blocked codenvy has Multiple programming languages and a great website theme. I definitely recommend codenvy. codenvy has powerful servers so no need to be scared if your project doesnt run

I had a wonderful experience working with codenvy.It is easy to use, user friendly.

As a newbie programmer I enjoy the flexibility of an online IDE. I appreciate the scaling of the cloud environment and the multi-language support. Codenvy has an online emulator for Android Projects. Providing a working platform for the professional and the beginner,with great tutorials and help files.

I've been using Unix and Linux for many years but I recently took the plunge and started learning front end development. While I have a lot of tools available I find I am using Codenvy more and more. I don't have enough experience with development yet to discuss the finer points of what it can/should/should not do, but I like the ease of use (I've used Eclipse and find it similar), and I love it being browser-based and portable; I generally have laptops and a Chromebook open in several rooms and being able to instantly try a new concept is fantastic. I also use Sublime, Brackets and Bluefish, but I don't generally keep them open.

As I said, I can't give many specifics right now, but Codenvy is making learning seamless and enjoyable, and for someone just starting out that can make a huge difference in whether one stays with it or gets frustrated.

I recently started using Codenvy and right away It feels like a great tool to work with. The user interface I found to be really enjoyable. I found and liked that Github was integrated making it easy to clone repos and push files over.Its pretty cool that there's keybinding for vi and emacs.

When I needed help with something their forums provided support.

Pros - The interface feels very much like a professional work environment and is very easy to use. - Great support for a number of programming languages - Building, testing, and deploying applications is built right in. - Easy to create new projects for quick tests or completely new applications - All my code is saved online, so I always have the most up-to-date file set

Cons - There are limits on the free services provided. (As to be expected, honestly) - No ability to drag and drop files in the project area - I wasn’t always successful in being able to properly use the PHP debugger in some of my projects

Pros: 1. Excellent IDE to develop server-side apps. I used it to develop console-based apps, however I can see the use for server-side.

1. Free basic version with always-online runner (equivalent of VM). I work on an optimization/heuristics project and this was the only one that offered always-online VM-like for free.

2. No limit on the number of runners. I could spawn 10 or more processes as always online, increasing my raw throughput.

3. Decent editor. Syntax highlighting for several languages, code completion, etc.

4. SCM integration with SVN and Git.

5. Pricing (GBh) makes a lot of sense. It is a bit like electricity or other utility.

Cons: 1. The layout/tools are a little bit different. Most other online IDE's you get a full VM, and here you have Docker. I have never worked with docker before, thus I had to use some sample project to understand the basics.

1. It could use different SCM's. Not a big deal though, the most common are Git and SVN (supported), but Mercurial also has some uses.

2. No multi-core runner. Even though I could scale horizontally (spawning more runners) in order to generate an statistically significant amount of data, I couldn't test or use multi-core in any way.

3. Free version has limited GBh. I guess you couldn't have 100% online and unlimited use :P The GBh so far has been enough for me, but I think that for bigger projects or projects with more uptime one could need to purchase some in order to continue testing.

It was a great finding. Pros: 1. Free cloud IDE with always-online VM. This was hard to find. 2. Several languages supported. 3. Git/SVN integration. 4. Billing is like most utilities (electricity, etc). The system makes it easy to understand how much you are using and how much you have left. 5. Great for back-end development / testing. I used it mostly to solve a few optimization/ML problems. 6. Easy to scale horizontally (open several runners and collect results later) 7. Decent editor, you get what most editors give you nowadays.

Cons: 1. Machines limited to 1 core. You can't try or get more, at least on the free side. 2. I didn't have experience with Docker. It took me an example to be able to set up and run my own project. 3. I couldn't fetch the files generated by Docker. In the end I just decided to print all results to STDOUT and copy the runner log.

The best I have ever used.

I've really enjoyed using Codenvy for a variety of projects. It provides excellent tools, and a fantastic interface in which to use them. Codenvy is portable, robust, and doesn't consume resources on things like my Chromebook. It's really a fantastic product, and it's exactly what I needed (as a student with a Chromebook) to get things going without the need for another machine with a Workspace installed locally. Once I get home to my primary machine, I just open Codenvy and continue my work seamlessly.

As a Chromebook user, Codenvy is all I need. No need to install complex IDEs or caring about how to save my codes or how to share them without headaches. Unfortunately, I just found Codenvy recently, after finish my graduation, downloading large java IDEs, facing incompatibilities, JVM problems, argh. Well, at least from now I'll code in peace :)

plus: it has new material dashboard :D

feature missing: it could have template for Google Polymer projects. I hope it get soon...

Codenvy is simply the best cloud based IDE i've every used. I seriously love and get's me up and running in no time.

Merits - Offers alot in free. - Almost all the languages are supported - Super Fast to load - Easy to use - Great UI - Many More.

Amazing stuff.

I am new to back-end dev. But I have used IDE's before.

Codenvy is clean and easy to understand.

I was having a problem pushing to Github. Support cme through and helped me out right a way.

Awesome.

Used CodeEnvy for the first time last week, havent put it down since. I use it for all my angular devlopment currently.

Great way to manage your projects and learn new technologies, the add-on infrastructure is amazing

Try the cloud development. It is wonderful.

Fantastic Editor, simple setup and fast development are the strengths of Codenvy. Absent the debug for PHP.

I was looking for an Online IDE to run JSP, Servlets, and JavaBeans code because bringing personal laptops into the office was prohibited. As I was googling for a solution, I found that Codenvy ended up on the top of each Online IDE list I found. Obviously I had to check it. Turns out it was exactly what I was looking for. It had real-time collaboration like other online IDE's I've used in the past. It was able to run java code. The interface was easy on the eyes, and it was easy to access items on the file tree. I look forward to utilizing its 512 MB of Ram. Some of the challenges I encountered at first came from getting used to the environment. I wasn't accustomed to using Dockers which are runner-encapsulated processes. This was brand new for me. Fortunately, Codenvy provided extensive documentation and an easy-to-follow tutorial on how this technology works. I hope more people begin using Codenvy and contribute to the growth of this outstanding application.

No more bulky IDEs that take 10+ seconds to load and 10+ minutes to install and setup. Codenvy is quick and easy, and it's in the cloud! It has all the features a full blown IDE would. Love the Golang support <3

First I was pretty sceptical and thought it is just one of these "hipster" web applications. As I ran into an issue with the R library of Android in Eclipse I decided to give it a try as the issue was related to a setup mistake on my end I was too lazy to fix.

So I registered for a free account and was quite surprised in the end. No waiting or limitations, I could start just straight away and got the outputs (executable files) in an awesome time, like I would compile on my personal PC. And the very best is the speed. No need to download any annoying files, unpack them and so on, nope, just start straight away and do not waste any time and nerves with it.

I was looking for an IDE to use with my AP CS students on ChromeBooks. This works great. It even has a debugging tool that flags errors with useful suggestions. This will definitely help my students be successful this year.

One of the coolest collaboration tools and it even runs your code in your own container!! End all wars, stop fighting, start collaborating and develop something cool together!

I finally have a way to write code from my chromebook!

After fussing with total crap IDEs in vain attempts to be able to develop in the cloud, Codenvy is the breath of fresh air I've been waiting for.

Great tooling, great interface, powerful yet simple and clean. I really couldn't have asked for more.

After playing with it a bit more I hope to bring it to my enterprise dev ops team for an evaluation. Thousands of developers across the company all working in the cloud together. ..oh hell yeah!

As a computer science teacher I keep an eye on sites like Cloud9 and Codenvy. I found however that Codenvy works much better for my goals with all the easy build & run configurations, code completion, project sharing with permissions etc. Codenvy makes opening and running projects a very smooth experience and worth coming back to.

I love codenvy, easy way of sharing your work and even a great creating environment. Noob friendly and all. However there are some bad things such as; They could use a better contact method and support method.

Codenvy is reaaally nice. The clearly spent a long time making the UI nice, which is usually kind of unimportant, but if I have to be staring at it all day, it better be pretty.

I was looking for a cloud platform to develop Web applications on my new Chromebook.

Codenvy is one of the best cloud platform IDE I have seen so far. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to develop in cloud platform.

I started using Codenvy ,It is very useful to create API in online

I've been using Codenvy mostly for personal projects and I love it! Since the things I'm working on are personal, I don't have access to servers or anything like that to test with so Codenvy's "Runners" are a tremendous help. The IDE is also very nice with everything I need to actually write my code. Plus it lets me use Github for version control which I greatly appreciate.

Pros: I've used Codenvy for about two weeks and I've loved that is it a cloud IDE! I use a Chromebook when I'm out and using it has really helped me with coding on the go. I like the intelligent code completion and debugging features.

Cons: In contrast of it being out on the cloud, I wish that I could possibly download my projects to my local PC whenever I'm not using my Chromebook. There may be a feature in place to download to a local system that I'm not familiar with, but I'm still new to Codenvy.
