Programming Software

Having worked with other IDEs, I am not keen on the default key bindings and extension shortcuts. I also feel the learning curve for VSCode is steeper than other tools.

In addition, and most importantly, I do not feel there is enough control by Microsoft on the extensions published in the extension repository and there have been some previous cases where malicious extensions have been found. But if you bear that in mind and keep a careful flow, you should be fine.

A more important downside, in my opinion, is the need to "build your own suite" where you need to manually pick and choose from hundreds of available plug-ins, which can be confusing and time-consuming. I usually prefer to have someone provide me with a pull "python suite" that has everything I need in one go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visual Studio Code allows us a unified development environment across the organization, while still allowing individual users to customise and add preferred plugins. This goes from the main development branches (Javascript, Python, HTML) to less common but still important DevOps solutions (shell scripts, helm files, etc.). Being able to integrate AI based code completion and generation tools is also a major advantage. In addition, some plugins such as Docker, Git Blame, Q, have proven to be very useful to our development and devops work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as such. Segments and Release features can be simplified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd point out two major problems that LD solves for my case,

1. We don't need to think about beta release to a small portion of customers. Just need to put the feature behind LD flag and control the flag from LD dashboard. That's it.

2. When we launch a new feature, we always put that feature behind LD flags. So that if something goes wrong, we don't need rollback anything in a hurry. Just toggle the LD flag by a single click. That would do the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve can be a bit steep for beginners. Once you understand the core concepts like branching, merging, and resolving conflicts, it gets much more straightforward. Large binary files and large media content can slow repository performance and storage costs. Free private repositories are limited in features and size. If you have multiple private repositories, get ready to pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say the two main problems GitHub solves for me is code collaboration, and version control.

Code collaboration allows our team to track changes across our various projects. We have a clear history of our projects, so we don't waste time communicating through various other channels because we have one source we can all collaborate in.

Version control can be very complex, especially with large projects. GitHub simplifies this process by allowing you to create branches for experimental features. If something goes wrong with a code release, rolling back your code is easy. Since every code change is recorded, you can see every change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Notepad++'s most glaring flaw is its dated design; the program's visual style is so outdated that it can't compete with competing programs that use newer visuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For editing, parsing, and comparing numerous files, we use Notepad++, which can open a wide variety of text and code formats, including Java files. When efficiency and ease of use are paramount, as in script editing and rapid coding, it has been indispensable. While it may not be the best choice for team projects of this size, our engineers have found that using it for smaller jobs has greatly improved their productivity. It certainly makes it easy to manipulate text from a variety of sources, allowing us to get the right formatting for an application. It's available in a free version with no limitations, or a paid version that eliminates the splash screen and speeds things up. We rely on it for script editing, general editing, and basic programming needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Sometime we were facing problem like intergration error.

2. There are some command facing issue like merge conflict.

3. We need some public repository on gitlab but unfortunatly it is not present in gitlab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before using GitLab, we had to manage our code directly on the server. However, this sometimes led to code being accidentally deleted, making recovery very difficult.

With GitLab, we can easily access all our code by using branches and previous commits. This is because GitLab is a version control tool, which is not only reliable but also user-friendly for DevOps teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After using it for a couple of years now, the only thing that comes to mind is not having a history of changes for your workflows (if using the hosted yml file) option. Sure, you can always add the configuration file to your own repo, but in that case it can be a bit tiresome to update workflows, copy/paste the configuration into your yml file and pushing the changes.

Bitrise is doing all the heavy lifting around making builds of our Android app, based on set triggers. Currently we have a couple of types of builds and conditions set when they need to be run, and Bitrise works like a charm. Not to mention actually pushing the builds to Firebase App Distribution for QA testing and finally creating releases on Google Play. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GCB is a great product but it is very expensive for my many clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is useful when I have very specific needs and don't want to configure a Linux server by myself. It is also very useful in the development and testing stage so I can mainly focus on my software logic & structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Themes. Like I would like colors :) But basically everything is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since is light weight I dont have any issues with space or even open notes in my computer. Is right there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost is relatively expensive, particularly for the smaller organisations and startups. The extensive features of the platform makes it complex for use. For small organisations, the tools and features might be overload. There are some challenges when integrating with certain third party applications or legacy systems. There are some limitations in the customization, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While AutoRABIT is feature-rich, the initial setup and implementation can be somewhat complex, especially for organizations with less technical expertise. The user interface, though functional, could benefit from a more modern and intuitive design. At times, the platform's performance can be sluggish, particularly when dealing with large data sets or complex environments using Dataloader. Lastly, the pricing might be a bit steep for smaller teams or organizations with limited budgets, making it more suitable for mid to large-sized enterprises.

While it is easy to jump in and start programing it does have a bit of a learning curve to fully learn it and get the most out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ultra Edit is a great programming environment for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

However, the major disadvantage of Copado DevOps is that it is expensive and some small teams or companies may not be able to afford to use it. The resources necessary to leverage the platform to its full potential may not be in line with the company’s financial capabilities. Also unique is the fact that the platform is sometimes overcomplicated by its various features that can barely be managed without a team. This has sometimes led to our organization witnessing some form of unwarranted hold up accompanied by unnecessary price increment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are numerous issues that arise when it comes to the development and deployment of applications, and Copado DevOps has been helpful in their resolution. By continuously integrating and delivering, their manual work has been cut down and there are fewer chances of making mistakes in the deployment. This is has resulted into faster cycles and more credible software which has had an added advantage to our team since we are able to avoid spending considerable time solving problems of deployments.

Keeping track of changes and ensuring everything that gets sent to the production server is all built and ready is a pain without any tool like this and DeployHQ does it really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since integration with multi platforms, A new engineer feels little uncomfortable to use it.

Even it supports multiple platforms we require Azure agents to deploy on the end platforms. This implies costing as well.

During my experience I received a very limited support from Micorsoft on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It solves my manual tasks/deployment. We have migrated to azure pipelines and deployments are completed within short span. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A feature that is in the pipeline (afaik) is to rerun indivdual steps instead of a whole workflow. This is obviously tricky (need to reset artifacts and cache etc) but would save some time on long flaky ci runs (that you should not have, but ... probably have).

We need to ensure our code is passing a number of criteria (e.g .automated tests) and that external environments are prepared to deploy different states of different products. We also want to trigger deployments and other actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though Jenkins is definitely a useful and adaptable tool, there are some parts that I find problematic. Its high level of complexity in installation and configuration is the most significant disadvantage. The newbies might be confused by numerous options and plug-ins that are available in Jenkins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jenkins has played a very important role in solving several crucial challenges that are present in our SDLC mainly in the aspects of CI/CD. All of it was manual before Jenkins and we used to have many times human errors because the build and deployment was done manually, hence the release delay and an irregular build quality. Jenkins has changed this a lot by actually automating the chain and code integration and deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside comes not from Flosum itself, but from the architectural fact that it is in the end hosted on Salesforce platform itself, meaning that it also needs to adher all Salesforce platform limits, sometimes causing performance issues. However, solutions to these bottlenecks are already being developed afaik. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
