What do you like best about Codeanywhere?

There are indeed other online IDEs, but I love that I can spin up an environment exactly to my specifications with CodeAnywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?

There's have been times when I've had a hard time figuring out how to set things up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codeanywhere:

It's worth it. The only hiccup one might experience is in connecting to another environment if that environment exists behind a firewall - and I suspect there's probably a solution in that case as well. The technical support that CodeAnywhere provides is fast and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me the portability of my work is essential, and CodeAnywhere is the perfect answer to that problem. No matter what kind of computer or location I work from, everything remains the same when I code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codeanywhere?

The recent updates to the backend editor were quite nice.... I've been waiting for years to have them support copy/paste in the ssh terminal. So that's a plus. You can use any vs code extension now.. and the containers serve pretty fast sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?

Support is slow and always has been. I've been waiting for 2 weeks now for a fix on an issue and that's not an atypical wait time based on my other attempts at contacting support. Plus, they have an automatic support desk that attempts to close issues after not hearing from you for 48 hours. That would be acceptable if they were waiting on a response from me, but it's always the other way around so it feels kinda insulting to get these automatic messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

Local website development at not-local speeds. I haven't found a local web server that runs fast, so it's been handy to use Codeanywhere to work on website stuff and not need my machine to run a web server. The codeanywhere sites run dramatically faster. Plus, they have the benefit of being publicly visible in case I need to share what I am working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codeanywhere?

I love being able to select any file via a lot of remote connection options, make adjustments to the HTML, CSS, JS or PHP, save, and see it active immediately. It's a simple enough process, but it makes all the difference. The price has also always been very reasonable, and I've used it for both personal and professional projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?

Since the recent redesign and the addition of containers, I've found it a little bit more confusing. I generally have only used it for light-duty purposes. Before I my only greivence was that I had to spin up a container to compile SASS. Now it's all containers and I'm unclear on if I still have to do the Grunt install, etc. If you're looking for a simpler IDE that preprocesses CodeTasty (despite the awful name) does a good job. Their interface is counter-intuitive, but functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codeanywhere:

As Codeanywhere has implemented new features and reorganized to take better advantage of stacks and images, it presents a more robust environment for proper development. If you're looking for a simple online code editor, it might be more than you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been able manage a dozen sites from a Chromebook, desktop and laptop wherever I am. I'm not tied to a specific machine or network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codeanywhere?

The fact I can edit my code from any device is brilliant. Sometimes when I'm not in front of my computer and a client needs an urgent change, I can use the app to make edits. The beautify function for CSS is awesome and helps to keep code nice and clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?

Limits on FTP Connections are a little frustrating. It would be great if we were able to pay per connection or in groups of 10 connections, rather than having to go up to the next plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to edit multiple files across multiple sites without having to create new connections every time (like you would need to with Filezilla etc) helps me to save time...lots of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codeanywhere?

The feature I liked was, what is now called, the Legacy Codeanywhere IDE. The Legacy IDE offers you the capability to connect to a host to work on code and access tunnels.

They are pivoting to a container-based environment workspace using VSCode as a core building block of the UI where you can still able to access connections configured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?

It does have an issue every once in a while where the page won't load and you have to clear the browser cache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allows for working on Projects without the need to manually install extra software for some minor work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codeanywhere?

I have been using the legacy IDE for a couple of years. It does everything I need and nothing I don't. It's the speediest way to have a portable dev environment for a traditional php app where I access the server via ftp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?

The emphasis on the new container system is not something I need or understand-- I would like to be able to set my account to go right to the legacy IDE when I sign in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

my app is old-fashioned, i don't use build tools or git or pipelines, i just want a text editior with code completion and direct ftp upload and thats what this does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codeanywhere?

You can log in and access your codebase also when you are not using your own device. I travel a lot, and most of the time I can't bring my laptop with me, or I use someone else computer, and with Codeanywhere I can work on my code with no hassle. I just access the platform and work on my FTP or git codebases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?

Nothing. Everything runs as it should, and prices are affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can code from any computer, and I don't need to configure everything whenever I am on a new device. I save time, and when I travel, I don't need to bring my laptop with me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codeanywhere?

Easy to use, Cheap, Powerfull enviroment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?

Getting inside IDE, now is more dificult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used to program in my computer since I have migrated to codeanywhere. Now accessing my projects can be done from any dispositive, which has improved my productivity a lot. I can make small changes in the very moment that my client asks me to do.

With its robust environment, coding is much easier. Having access to all my projects and files is fast. It has an outstanding amount of resources for all the programming languages I use. In addition, I can test my pages more securely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?
