The most important thing to stand out about NetBeans is that the program is very polyvalent; you colud develop desktop apps, mobile apps or web pages with the same program, and this is and advantage if you work developing all that kind of apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the worst thing that NetBeans has is that is very heavy. It needs a lot of time to initialize and sometimes is very slow code with it because it takes long time to show the predict the code you want to write. Another thing that I don't like is the integration with git repositories and the debbug mode. THe debbug mode isn't clear and you have to configure a lot of things, and the integretion with repositories (like GitHub, GitLab...) is very bad, sometimes I need to close NetBeans and pull/push my code with a terminal.

If you are looking for simple software, with not many options and that works for various programming languages, NetBeans is your software. It has good performance and options, not reaching the level of Eclipse but that is partly its appeal, being a more basic and equally useful option. It is free, which makes it an even better option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is not compatible with rarer programming languages, worse version control implementation, not so many updates, some implementation errors. They are details, although in any case I recommend it, since it is not a top development environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The extensible platform is free, open-source, and backed by a dedicated community that knows best-practice software development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Slow to load, takes more memory. It also requires training.
Sometimes different plugins require different versions of the same requirement plugin. Sometimes even the plugin install order or the base Eclipse release version makes a difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very intuitive and easy to use. I think that this is a very good tool to program in java language. I recommend it mostly for first users who are searching a good platform to start to program with object oriented programming language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When it comes to entering commands, when using object-oriented programming you must be entered manually before executing the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

An IDE of a very complete technical quality, excellent for those who are beginning in the world of Java programming and for those of medium experience, the program has a high quality of plugins that will help you in the development process, with a excellent documentation that will help you find what you are looking for and how to use it, your garbage collector tool is one of the best features it offers, since it handles the automatic handling of memory, which to work with java is very, very important, has a good support when it comes to stopping errors and help in the aspect of indentation to maintain order when writing the code, I really recommend it a lot especially if you are starting.

It is slow to execute the applications, which is a bit annoying because you lose time during the tests, this has improved over time, but it is still a problem, besides this lack of portability you must install the JVM to be able to use it, so you should prepare a programming environment before using it, but lose a lot of portable because of this.

It is an excellent development environment that has several models to extend, what I like most is the prediction and the automatic help it has, it is a way that allows programming faster and with fewer errors.
Being openSource and free has an application with a lot of potential, that is, it helps you a lot with respect to the programming that you are carrying out ideally for all the people who are entering the first times in the world of programming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the consumption of memory of my team would be something that I considered something that I do not like about the application but it is rather small compared to other environments that I have used. additional to it the following environment does not have many things that displease me.

First thing I should tell you is despite Netbeans developed by Java, it installs easily. It's Independent from windows components so it doesn't need to install distribution libraries and it just need java runtime libraries which no worries! installer makes it done for you.
Next thing is it supports multiple programming environments with history management which helps developer to undo the wrong decisions by comparison new codes with old ones. Git Visualization and version controlling provide several file status information tools that simplify the process of working with version-controlled files, including Color Coding and Annotations. Fast switch between history and source code improves your agilety.
Provides tools for creating and running unit tests and for profiling Java applications. Unit tests enable you to test the code in Java applications. Profiling is the process of examining an application to locate memory or performance-related issues.
The IDE provides the lots of tools to support the development of HTML5 for example Wizards for creating HTML5/JavaScript applications and files.
Capability of downloading libraries that is useful specially for java-script libraries like Jquery and etc.
Support plug-ins ans add-on.
Compatibility with composer for PHP.
Managing jellyfish or tomcat containers and other services which used for Java development inside IDE.
Accessing to maven instantly from IDE.
Accessing to cloud and docker instantly.
Database management from IDE which useful when don't you have other third party database management IDE installed on your computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Written in Java so it's so resource consuming specially in windows. Sometimes I don't find enough memory to run other applications or open new tab in internet browser.
And sometimes has lags in changing tabs specifically when I have several tabs of classes opened. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* Netbeans delivers high performance and optimisation on low tier as well as medium tier systems.
* Netbeans supports various frameworks and application developments such as Java SE, Java EE, JNI and many more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
* The updates are usually unstable.
* The user interface is troublesome which consumes time when locating certain option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Its available for free anyone can download it and install and use it.
- The overview of files and project files which it shows on right is awesome.
- Friendly
- It detects the error in code on compile time that's very nice feature, just user have to install the library of particular language he is coding.
- Compatible with web development tools i.e composer, npm
- Its Diff tool is awesome, helps in finding difference between two files easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- It takes time to load editor.
- Little slow as compare to other text editor.
- No color background change option available as other editor does.
- It takes more memory then other IDE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It lets you program Java/J2EE all at one place. It's also nice for html, CSS and Java script editing. We used to write JSPs, DTOs and other backend access layer code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I found it very unstable compared to other IDEs like Eclipse and not so easy to use. I used it on Windows OS and immediately switched to Eclipse based IDEs which are customized by our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
