It helps us flag bugs, poor coding practices, and missing null checks and validations before the code reaches production and breaks features. It performs a thorough review of newly added code and provides helpful suggestions for improvement. With Codacy, we were able to reduce our bug count metrics. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** Sometimes it flags minor code issues that developers tend to ignore. Still, those flags are valid, and they’re already handled by other systems. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Codacy is helping us reduce our bug-generation metrics. We’ve integrated Codacy into our GitHub workflow, so any newly added code is automatically reviewed. Codacy flags potential bugs and poor coding practices, which has helped us significantly reduce the number of bugs over the last few quarters and improve our developers coding standards. ### 2. Codacy is a security must-have tool in our company **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David M. | DevSecOps Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2024 **What do you like best about Codacy?** This tool it's easy to integrate with our code repository app and it's new security dashboard and vulnerability management its pretty useful to get insights and metrics of our company. Also, the support team is really helpful and provides immediate assistance. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** I haven’t found anything to dislike about Codacy. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Codacy is helping us with the code vulnerabilities in our projects with their SAST IAC and SCA features in our SDLC. ### 3. Code quality, analyses, and more **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 07, 2024 **What do you like best about Codacy?** I enjoy the quality gates, although this could probably be done with other tools in the dev pipeline, it's a nice integrated automation ready out of the box, easy to use as well. The static code analyses are also helpful and keep your code clean and safe. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** It is a bit expensive at $19/month, especially for smaller organizations **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Security requirements for industry standard static code analysis ### 4. Codacy: A Game-Changer for Code Quality and Team Productivity **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sarang K. | Technical Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2023 **What do you like best about Codacy?** I've used codacy for about an year now and I can say that it has been an amazing experience till now. The intended purpose to onboard Codacy as the code quality and security analysis tool has been fulfilled. My team's overall code quality has improved significantly by using codacy. We have extensively used it to fix syntaxes, detect and remove hardcodings, and improve any redundancy in the code. In addition to code quality, its integration with pull requests and project management tools such as Jira has helped me to manage code reviews and quality efficiently. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** Codacay is an amazing tool but here are some nitpicking improvements that can be implemented: -Running code analysis on large databases sometimes takes a longer time or gets stuck and requires reanalysis. -A little more flexibility in customizing our own rules tailored specifically to the project needs won't harm. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Codacy is solving the problem of improving the overall code quality and identifying and resolving the quality issues during the early stages of development. ### 5. Great tool for detecting code issues, code coverage, code duplication and code complexity **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Miroslav B. | Senior Card System Architect, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Codacy?** From the point of view of a company that processes card transactions and is subject to Compliance/Certifications with card scheme standards, automated code review and detection of security problems is the most useful thing. Codacy helps developers save time in code reviews, so developers can focus on other things. Codacy centralizes customizable code patterns and enforces them within engineering teams so that everyone's code goes through static analysis and is evaluated before being put into production. Easy integration with GitLab. Customer Support is of high quality, responds quickly to inquiries, always helps us as much as possible. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** Codacy works on the RHEL operating system but has no official support for RHEL, regardless of that the customer support always helps us as much as possible but some things we have to find a way to solve them ourselves. Viewing GitLab-tagged code on Codacy is a functionality that would be of great use to us, but currently does not exist. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automatic code analysis reduces the impact of human error. Before Codacy, code review was done manually by developers, now developers don't waste as much time as they used to on code review. Since each commit is evaluated, the developer gets to correct errors in the code during development. Manual code review was always done after development, and the eventual detection of problems resulted in more difficult problem elimination than if it had been done during initial development. ### 6. Great tool to ensure your quality stands **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vinicius P. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 04, 2023 **What do you like best about Codacy?** The high number of programming languages that are supported by Codacy helped a lot in our situation, once we had different tech stacks. It was also very easy to integrate with our CI/CD flows, and we are seeing a really cool product roadmap. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** In our situation, we had several different tech stacks on our repos, and some features from Codacy weren't supporting us properly. That kinds of things are always discussed with our CS teams and prioritized on their product backlog. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Codacy is raising our Code Quality Standards and also our Security Standards, giving quick feedback to our developers to ensure that we don't lose agility. Also, the constant evolution of the Product is always adding value and possibilities for us. ### 7. Company that understands developers **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Codacy?** I like how Codacy works to build strong partnerships with its customers. I like the focus on developers and the developer experience. I like that Codacy gives me a hassle-free single pane of glass view into code quality across my organization. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** As a growing product, there are some minor UX things or features I'd like. You have to notice the chat icon in the bottom-right to get support. There's no "Support" link in the top navbar like most other sites. As a European-based company, getting support after ~12pm Eastern on a Friday can be challenging. Luckily we've had few occasions where we needed to do this. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Codacy is helping us meet compliance requirements. But it's also helping us diagnose and improve code quality across our product. ### 8. Pushing our quality higher as they continually improve their platform and customer success **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael G. | Principal Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Codacy?** The Codacy team follows up and ensures that we are getting the most out of the platform. My team members consider it crucial to the success of our projects. It is quite easy to integrate and does its job without human interaction. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** I would like to see them expand into more features such as dependency scanning for vulnerable or unsupported versions of libraries they depend on. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps us weed out low quality code. It also helps to maintain style standards within our codebase. ### 9. Helps maintain high standards for our code. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chiesa B. | Back End Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2023 **What do you like best about Codacy?** Codacy's integration with our continuous integration and continuous delivery workflow (CICD ) and with third party technologies like Slack , provides us with real time notifications on our code either as pull request commands or as Slack comments , ensuring that we avoid critical code vulnerabilities, that potentially affects our developed software. Codacy makes configuration of code analysis rules , to be saved as configuration files . The major benefit of this , is that we are able to tweak our code analysis rules to future needs, by simply editing the saved configuration file documentation as against configuring the entire Codacy setup from scratch everytime we need it for a new project. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** Codacy does not allow for me to analyze my code locally , before submitting a commit. Also, Codacy's lack of support for the Java library - Lombok , is a point of reservation for me, as it makes some recommendations made by codacy to be unapplicable for projects where we deploy Java as our server side language. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Codacy to keep track of our code and identify security vulnerabilities early .Taking advantage of Codacy's recommendations , we are continuously modifying our code and fine-tuning them to achieve a standardized code quality, across the different teams within my department. ### 10. Excellent tool to monitor code quality **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2022 **What do you like best about Codacy?** I have used Codacy for various projects, both in closed and open source development. I found Codacy to be a very flexible tool for ensuring common coding standards and detecting possible code issues early. - Support for a large variety of programming and markup languages. Even medium-sized projects quickly use a multitude of languages. For example, in addition to the project's primary programming languages, there might be parts written in, e.g., C or JavaScript; the build makes use of Makefiles or shell scripts; the configuration is provided in XML or JSON; infrastructure is configured with Docker and Terraform etc. Codacy allows me to monitor code quality for all these parts of an application in one place. - Flexible configuration by using configuration files. While you can also configure the tools in the Codacy UI, it allows you to have the rules for code analysis saved in configuration files as part of the analyzed project. That enables the team to easily adjust the rules to their needs while having the configuration versions controlled and documented. - Integration into your CI workflow: I have used Codacy with both GitHub and Gitlab. The integration into the CI process gives instant feedback to developers and allows the team to ensure that only validated code makes it into the project. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** Due to many supported languages, the detailed configuration of the rules can require some research. Here Codacy could improve the process by linking to the relevant documentation for the corresponding configuration file. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Codacy provides static code analysis, which helps set common coding standards for the project team and find potential bugs and security issues early. This results in overall better project quality. In addition, with Codacy, I can use a single tool for my projects instead of relying on various separate tools for each programming language. ### 11. A great tool to add to Open Source CI toolkit **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel W. | Sr. Software Development Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Codacy?** I'm an open source project maintainer. Given that I'm already donating thousands of hours of my time on my project, I absolutely love products which offer their tools free to Open Source projects. There are a variety of CI tools available, and no one tool checks every box, but Codacy is one that is really helpful to include. The most helpful feature for me is pull request integration; it notices issues and prompts authors to fix them before I even get a chance to review! It also has the most useful "duplicate detection" algorithms of any of the CI tools I've used, enabling me to refactor and simplify code. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** It is immensely configurable as to choosing what patterns to look for, but the categories are very broad so there are still hundreds of rules to try to sort through and activate. A narrower classification than "error prone" would help me methodically review and fine tune my rules rather than trusting "add all" and eliminating the false positives. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Codacy is quickly finding basic problems in PRs before they even reach a human reviewer, improving the quality of all code additions with no additional maintainer time. It also provides tools on its dashboard to hunt down and improve older code when time is available. ### 12. Excellent code coverage tool with great GitHub Integration **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Misagh M. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 12, 2022 **What do you like best about Codacy?** We have been using Codacy for the past few years for the https://github.com/apereo/cas project with much success. The Github integration is very easy, and there are excellent instructions on how to set up the pipeline with Github Actions. Codacy has fantastic support for coverage tools specifically for Java projects, such as Jacoco. The results are accurately explained and shown on the Codacy dashboard, and there are a lot of configuration settings that would allow one to customize the coverage data and analysis to assist with better code quality. The UI is intuitive, and Codacy comes with a lot of customizable built-in patterns, recommendations and security checks that help spot issues and fix issues. We also take advantage of metrics on duplication and complexity to identify areas that need attention for all developers and contributors to the project as PRs get submitted and merged. Codacy is also free for Open Source projects, which is something we very much appreciate. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** For a Java-based project such as https://github.com/apereo/cas, I think the integration could use a few improvements: 1. It seems like Codacy does not support or recognize Lombok. As a result, many quality recommendations turn out to be inapplicable. 2. It could be excellent if Codacy could recognize one's Checkstyle rules and exclude or include certain rules accordingly. 3. Not sure if a developer can run the code analysis tool locally before submitting a PR or a commit. This makes the review process easier since the Codacy feedback sometimes can be overwhelming. **Recommendations to others considering Codacy:** Considering integration with Codacy early on, and try to build automated workflows around analysis and recommendations. It can be a huge effort upfront, but it will pay in the long run. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** The project I work on, https://github.com/apereo/cas, belongs to the identity and access management domain, and has a significant security foothold and focus. As such, analyzing and measuring test data, and metrics and evaluating areas that need more focus and attention to prevent security issues and leaks is very important. As an OSS project, it also helps the community overall to understand where such areas are, and help us to work with other contributors to improve our test harness. ### 13. A great tool to review your code **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matteo B. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2022 **What do you like best about Codacy?** I use codacy in my open source projects, and helps me a lot reviewing all the pull requests. I can see if there are some issues that could lead to errors, or some duplicated code that needs to be refactored. The integration with GitHub is one of my favorite feature, since the pull requests errors can be seen directly on the line of code. From their website you can also ignore some files or directories that doesn't need checks, like tests or demo projects, or anything that is not production and can have issues. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** Something that required me some time to understand how it works it's the Code Pattern settings page, there are a lot of tools for checking the code, and understanding all the options is not always clear, but once configured. I had hard times migrating from TSLint to ESLint, since some rules were different, and I don't remember any migration tool. Anyway, once set up it works perfectly. Something's missing is a monorepo support, I have different ESLint configurations between all the packages, and you have to find your minimum common rules to set on the Code Pattern settings page, to avoid more issues than expected. **Recommendations to others considering Codacy:** If you want to review the code on your project, yours or other developers', this project is what you're looking for **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** When I started the project on GitHub I was concerned about contributions from other developers, since their coding style could be different from mine, or some bugs that can be introduced by them. Codacy helps me find issues in everyone's code, also mine since I do pull request to my repository as well, and it's easy to give a feedback to the contributors. ### 14. Exceptional C++ code analysis with great GitHub integration **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Niels L. | Main developer and maintainer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2022 **What do you like best about Codacy?** - Deep C++ static code analysis - Native integration into the GitHub development cycle - Quality of results, including a detailed description of the detected issues **What do you dislike about Codacy?** Sometimes the detected issues do not apply to our codebase, and it could be easier to just ignore them in the future. I understand that the topic is difficult, so this is just a "nice to have" rather than too big criticism. **Recommendations to others considering Codacy:** Use it early in your development, so the detected issues can be related to the latest commits. Furthermore, try to fix all of them and always evaluate detected issues immediately. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Modern C++ development is inherently difficult and complex, and bugs are therefore hard to detect. Codacy allows us to detect such issues early in development, and the integration to GitHub makes it easy to use. ### 15. Boost your team code static analysis, quality and more **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Madalin V. | Senior Software Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2022 **What do you like best about Codacy?** - Easy integration as part of your development flow, including this tool on the PRs check and aligning everyone on the team to the defined code quality standards. - Simple sharing of existing static code configuration between the project and the platform allows you to keep only one source of truth. - Dashboard and monitoring make it easy to visualize and track the tech debt and all quality standards from one place. - Reduce the time on the code reviews, important for large teams and not only. Allowing engineers to focus completely on the logic, edge cases, architecture decisions rather than code style, code duplication, issues, etc... - Self-hosted solution, is especially important for large companies where the source code needs to complain about internal security standards. - BONUS: Company principles, by supporting open-source projects and startups. Definitely, something that large companies should take note of. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** - No SOC2 certification, it may be something important if your organisation have some security standards about third parties, but possible to address it by using a self-hosted solution. Unfortunately, this makes the integration a bit more difficult. Apparently, they are working on getting it (roadmap https://roadmap.codacy.com/c/74-soc2-compliance). **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** I started using SonarQube and then moved to SonarCloud for all code static analysis time long ago for my personal projects but also for large company projects where it's especially important to design and build solutions that are scalable, maintainable and testable. Because those code solutions need to follow strict standards to keep them consistent with the different devs/teams. With Codacy I'm taking advantage of all the potential of the previously mentioned platforms that I used since my beginnings but also have additional powerful features like monitoring quality dashboard, seamless user management, tackling technical debt, configuration file support, identifying security issues and more. ### 16. Codacy is very helpful for us in ensuring our quality requirements are being met. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Codacy?** C++ is a complex language that is easy to use in the wrong way. The integration of Codacy into our CI setup on Github ensures that our quality requirements are checked on every pull request. This ensures the high quality of our codebase. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** We'd like to see more tools on Codacy that target C++. Otherwise we have no remarks are very happy with what is available. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Codacy to ensure that certain quality requirements with regards to using C++ properly are being met. Having Coday automatically running tests for every pull-request ensures that all contributions made by our developers conform to the same high quality standards. ### 17. Codacy is a great product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** xiao y. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2022 **What do you like best about Codacy?** As an author of an open-source product, it is very important to check the quality of the code, and he can help us quickly know the bad taste of the code. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** No， I think it has been perfect and I have recommended all my community friends and open-source authors to use it. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** For an open source project. It helps us standardize the code, makes everyone work well together, and also helps the project detect different system vulnerabilities, making open source software better and better ### 18. Easy to use tool to get a good base line for code quality **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2022 **What do you like best about Codacy?** Codacy is simple to integrate with our typical workflow on GitHub while being pleasantly unobtrusive in everyday work. It makes itself noticed when appropriate but doesn't require any attention otherwise. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** Ignoring antipatterns on a per-file basis doesn't seem to be possible. We use this feature with a different static code analyzer. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're using Codacy as one of several code quality metrics. Along with the other tools, it helps us to maintain a high quality of our code base. ### 19. Easy to integrate hard to give up! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mustafa O. | Mobile Development Lead **Reviewed Date:** March 24, 2022 **What do you like best about Codacy?** - Easy Integration - Clean Interface - Coverage Support - GitHub integration - Fast feedback **What do you dislike about Codacy?** - No detailed Coverage statistics with graph - Main Screen shows the issues with percentage, hard to see improvements in graph in big projects **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Code quality - Lint Check - Coverage Check ### 20. Quick easy and effective **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Emily B. | Doctoral Student, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2021 **What do you like best about Codacy?** - The integration of codacy with a new code base is quick and easy - The graphs showing the evolution of the issues/coverage are easy to understand and give a good overview thanks to the guidelines shown - The integration with github is simple and means that most developers do not need to know about yet another tool in order to benefit from it **What do you dislike about Codacy?** - The complexity metric is pretty opaque. I'm not sure what it shows - The logs are meaningless **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Codacy to preserve the quality of our python code. It prevents the quality regressing and some tests allow us to force our developers to ensure that new code is as clean as possible (e.g. correct use of generators, ensuring that there are docstrings) ### 21. Great tool to help with code reviews **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Romain M. | Développeur web freelance, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Codacy?** It's automatic, with like zero config to be functionnal. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** Sometimes obscur to understand why this line do not pass validations. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm a lead dev and Codacy is one of two steps that developers needs to pass before I look at their PR. I added this service because I was tired repeating myself with linting stuffs. Also the scores that it gives are useful to see if the app is becoming better or worse (code wise). ### 22. Developer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2021 **What do you like best about Codacy?** Codacy helped me a lot to improve my code, it's a great platform and a 'code mentor', I'd recommend it to anyone. I used other tools before and after starting to use Codacy but I found this as the better tradeoff between ease of use and quality. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** False positives, I had to disable some patterns because it was unable to correctly analyze the code, and that is somewhat a boring task, and you also have to remind yourself to enable them again after. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Code quality, my code has improved a lot and I like to have a clean code. Codacy as a mentor and providing comments on how to solve the issues and flagging certain security vulnerabilities as well, it certainly helped a lot. Thank you for that. ### 23. Ensure code quality & standards **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Igo L. | Lead Frontend Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2020 **What do you like best about Codacy?** - Ability to check duplicated codes; - Automated system to ensure code quality and standards when opening a pull request **What do you dislike about Codacy?** - Not being able to export code patterns; - Not so easy to understand code complexity; **Recommendations to others considering Codacy:** The customer support team is really amazing, always helpful! **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ensure code quality, reduce the amount of duplicated code we have because of legacy implementations. ### 24. The help you need to improve your code quality **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vishal P. | Head of Growth and Community (YC21), Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 01, 2021 **What do you like best about Codacy?** Automated code review on commit Supports over 30 programming languages so most of the commonly used languages are covered Great support **What do you dislike about Codacy?** Can improve guidance on: Code Validation Code complexity **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Improve code quality ### 25. Monitor for code quality and standards. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Akshay P. | Web Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2019 **What do you like best about Codacy?** Automation - Regularly check-up for your code commits. For example, you push code to Git, it will automatically update your code ratings Keeps engineers honest and on-track with good quality code. Code Support - They support all major languages, for example, Python, PHP, JAVA. Thus, it becomes fast and easy to get real-time quality for your code. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** There should be customization to get code quality for your own projects if standards are provided. Offline or a standalone application is much needed from Codacy to get local support. Sometimes settings configuration pages are overwhelming. **Recommendations to others considering Codacy:** Codacy is most appropriate when you have an in-company code competition or when your client is more code-oriented with the proper functioning of the project. Codacy also integrates with all office tools like Slack and Jira. Codacy is less appropriate in a development team where their main work is to get code functioned and the indentation does not matter. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Whether you are an open source developer or a full-time coder, you must have a coding standard so as to reach your customers. Professionals having a coding standard have more chances of getting hired or paid well. Thus, Codacy comes into play. ### 26. Great tool to gain time **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 26, 2018 **What do you like best about Codacy?** They contact you to improve your workflow. You can save a lot of time for the first PR (example when you have junior in your team making same mistakes regularly :D ) **What do you dislike about Codacy?** I have to admit ... for now nothing ... **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** as I said, save a lot of time for pull requests ! You can etablish some code rules (example with eslint). ### 27. Another great automated code-review services. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2017 **What do you like best about Codacy?** Codacy had great git and github integration for projects and even user accounts, simple and really easy to use web interface with no clutter and informative. A great amount of programming language supported from PHP to Java. Open-source project friendly with free of charge usage for it and comprehensive amount of code patterns available. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** A lot of false positives since there some code pattern built only for certain framework or CMS, need more security oriented code pattern and analysis like DevSkim or maybe curated pattern from Codacy itself. **Recommendations to others considering Codacy:** If you had a open-source project lying around, try Codacy. It's free, easy to use for improving your code. If you are a small team Codacy also helps for reducing QA time wasted on code quality analysis and basic security analysis. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm using Codacy as a tool for helping me build, grow and improve my open source project to the standards that others achieved. ### 28. Fantastic way to improve your codebase **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael P. | Co-Founder & Chief Technology Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2016 **What do you like best about Codacy?** Codacy is fantastic! I absolutely love the UI/UX. The great amount of customizations around rules for code review. Great language support. Love the GitHub integrations with statuses. Still fairly new to the test coverage review feature. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** The price is a bit high in my opinion for brand new startups like mine that are bootstrapped. Would like to see a slightly more robust free tier. **Recommendations to others considering Codacy:** I would start off slow. First wire up Codacy with your code best for code review. And them as you get comfortable I would start using other features such as the test coverage stuff. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Pushing higher quality code to production. Which, in term reduces the amount of bloat, bugs, and other issues we experience. Code review helps our programmers become more proficient as well. ### 29. I LOVE these guys **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mykel A. | DevOps Computational Demonologist, Financial Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 15, 2015 **What do you like best about Codacy?** Codacy checks our scala code for dumb (and not-so-dumb) mistakes. The score, while it might not be perfect, is still an excellent indicator. **What do you dislike about Codacy?** The rules can be..challenging. The fact that it's a service makes it slightly harder to break our build with a Codacy score than I'd like with a self-contained tool. **Recommendations to others considering Codacy:** They only scan certain code types. Make sure your evaluation period exercises what they do. When you have problems, don't hesitate to engage the Codacy team. They're very helpful. **What problems is Codacy solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're looking for quality and speed. Codacy totally gives us both, with the safety of their service providing a good net as well as third-party evaluations. We simply don't release code that doesn't have an "A" score from Codacy. - [View Codacy pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/codacy/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-17+11%3A47%3A42+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=a32d2978-69e7-461d-828d-6478f3458831&secure%5Btoken%5D=abae6affb23d6c700bdcfb636cacc710f8215d7ab4f6466823a2494a5c67e816&format=llm_user) ## Codacy Features **Protect** - Login - Data Injections - Code - Certificate Exploitation - Advanced Awareness **Administration** - API / Integrations - Extensibility **Administration** - API / Integrations - Extensibility **Functionality - Software Composition Analysis ** - Language Support - Integration - Transparency **Agentic AI - Static Code Analysis** - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance **Execute** - Environment - Compliance - Cross-Platform Implementation **Analysis** - Reporting and Analytics - Issue Tracking - Static Code Analysis - Code Analysis **Analysis** - Reporting and Analytics - Issue Tracking - Static Code Analysis - Vulnerability Scan - Code Analysis **Effectiveness - Software Composition Analysis** - Remediation Suggestions - Continuous Monitoring - Thorough Detection **Testing** - Command-Line Tools - Manual Testing - Test Automation - Compliance Testing - Black-Box Scanning - Detection Rate - False Positives **Testing** - Manual Testing - Test Automation - Compliance Testing - Black-Box Scanning - Detection Rate - False Positives **Agentic AI - Static Application Security Testing (SAST)** - Autonomous Task Execution ## Top Codacy Alternatives - [SonarQube](https://www.g2.com/products/sonarqube/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (139 reviews) - [Checkmarx](https://www.g2.com/products/checkmarx/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (32 reviews) - [GitHub](https://www.g2.com/products/github/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (2,280 reviews)
