"Netbeans, a good Java IDE, but for others, poor"
I like two things mainly, the way you can create GUIs, and the way it works for Java, is my main IDE when I'm working with Java.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

NetBeans is the perfect application for software development. Firstly because it is cross platform which allows all your team to develop through the same software whether you are working on Windows, Linux or Mac OS. It is also a free application which brings added value to the financial choice of the company. It has an appealing and easy-to-work look. It has a huge community to discuss small bugs that sometimes still have to be fixed. It always supports the latest Java versions and here is is this application excels in Java development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

There is nothing that I hate but I think the part of the user interface could be improved and evolved into something more appealing and modern. While doing this update could also review the ease with which access to some features that are sometimes hidden. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

In the matter of price vs quality, I think there is no match to match. NetBeans has a very good quality for free IDE. And do not think that being free is less than the other competitors, it does a very good job and it is a great choice in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is not about solving problems with this software but rather creating all the content that a software development company faces. In the days that run a company already has so many expenses with so many licenses that save on the main program of development is a giant savings for the company.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

It is a comprehensive IDE that has multiple languages built-in and supports the latest Java 8 version. It is available is many platforms and has keyboard shortcuts which allow faster access to tools and features. I love the auto complete feature which makes it easy to use. It is also easy to learn for beginners and free to download and install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

One big problem with Netbeans is it takes too much time to load all the modules and run the programs. Sometimes it also freezes and doesn't allow me to close or quit the application. Also, it is a bummer that it doesn't allow android application development. However there are other good development applications for android so it is not a big problem.

I mostly use NetBeans for Java coding. I have been able to create many Java projects easily and debug codes effectively through this application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Many people prefer other IDEs for Java, most notably Eclipse. However, I prefer the project folder management features of NetBeans over other Java IDEs I have tried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

NetBeans can be incredibly slow to start up. Generally, the speed isn't an issue once the IDE is up and running, but starting up can be a pain. Also, the Java intellisense could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

If you are looking for one tool to do all development in, covering different languages and platforms, NetBeans probably isn't the right choice. However, if you are looking exclusively for a Java development IDE, I personally recommend NetBeans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We don't have a lot of Java code in our shop, but that code we do have, I prefer using NetBeans to support it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NetBeans?

Gratuito y cumple su cometido. Buena relación calidad precio. Fácil instalación y entorno amigable. Permite su uso para una gran cantidad de lenguajes de programación. Permite el uso de plugins. Muy parecido a su competidor Eclipse pero algo más eficiente en la gestión de recursos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NetBeans?

Se ha quedado atrás en prestaciones respecto a sus competidores. Algo básico en cuanto a opciones de personalización. Sus competidores le adelantan en este aspecto. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NetBeans:

Recomiendo su uso si se está justo de recursos. En otro caso para otro entorno gratuito recomiendo otros entornos como por ejemplo Eclipse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Actualmente solo para entornos de prueba. Servicios web y proyectos aislados. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
