Set review rules and automatic participant notifications to ensure that peer reviews are done on time and done right. Your team shouldn't have to conform to the workflow of the review tool you use. Collaborator allows you to build custom review templates so you can tailor your process to fit your specific needs. Set custom fields, checklists, and participant groups for different types of code and document reviews. Customizable reports enable you to drive your team's growth while also easing auditing burdens.

Its bit untidy to keep up without a CDN as well, with its daemons. Also, its somewhat pricy - yet quality and components astute, it is one of the best source administration apparatuses in the business sector. The rest things were fine and is useful with the exception of the absence of instructional exercises which here and there lead to time wastage for determining an extremely basic issue.

the greatest advantage what Collaborator brought me out is this item permits me handle different kind of ventures notwithstanding their many-sided quality and introduction (advancement/relocation/non standard administration demands/basic undertakings and so forth) that make this application one of the best venture administration device available.

"The Most Comprehensive Peer Review Tool"

4/5

What do you like best about Collaborator?

I liked the integration with multiple SCMs like Git, Perforce, Subversion. Also review creation and participation can be made easy using plugins found in the community, regardless of IDE, or the types of files one want to review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Collaborator?

I found many turn off features in Collaborator which makes it an awful software in my opinion. It takes an hour to upload a changelist of a few hundred small text files. The UI is pathetic. The color scheme is distracting. There is no syntax highlighting. I found many other problems with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
