  ### 9. A great developement platform to collabirate and manage projects !

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Juan F. | Web and Software developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2019

**What do you like best about Codeanywhere?**

The best thing think about Codeanywhere is that you can work on your project no matter where you are, everything is on a web and you can control your containers on ssh or files, there are syntax highlighting for everything and autocomplete to functions which makes it even better !
I really like the idea of coding and working on my customers projects live from anywhere, and my customers has a lie to look at the changes made anytime they want.

**What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?**

Well i really find the automatic power off of conatiners anoying sometimes, even if you are having always on containers, 6 is pretty much nothing.. 
The prices are pretty high too..

**Recommendations to others considering Codeanywhere:**

You dont need to save your files on the computer, everything is on the cloud.

**What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With Codeanywhere i can be sure my projects wont be removed, they are secure and reliable.
I can code and work on my customers project anywhere and see a live preview of changes and that's really great and time saving.

  ### 10. Gold IDE to work anywhere on your projects if you have internet connection.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dennis W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2019

**What do you like best about Codeanywhere?**

I really like the idea of contrainers like small "VPS" that host your website / software and run it, if you are running PHP like i usually does it comes with phpMyAdmin and MySQL installed to save time, the thing that i was using Codeanywhere for was pair programming, it was helping me and my team work on the same projects for our customers on the same time which is really useful.

**What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?**

Codeanywhere is pretty pricey and containers aren't always on so it's pretty anoying but Codeanywhere is perfect when it comes to programing and working on projects.

**What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Few programmers working on same project has become really easy with Codeanywhere, it has revisions to look at the history of your code, searching and replacing features are amazing and really awsome and fast!

  ### 11. Code any where 

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2019

**What do you like best about Codeanywhere?**

Codeanywhere is very good to use because you can sync your work from google drive or Dropboz which saves you a lot of work and a lot of time.

Codeanywhere also gives it's users full terminal access 

Codeanywhere also works with GitHub and you can login from GitHub account

**What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?**

Things I disliked about codeanywhere is that you don't have a debugging option and it's so hard going through the code without it,

The language support is also not very clear,

The app didn't get updated in over 2 ans a half years.

The security is very bad the 2FA is the worst and I wouldn't put important works there.

**Recommendations to others considering Codeanywhere:**

I would recommend codeanywhere because even tho thr software is not very good it's a very useful software

**What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?**

My company use codeanywhere to edit most of our work share our works all over the company

  ### 12. Excellent development environment in the cloud.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lucas H. | Web developer , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2019

**What do you like best about Codeanywhere?**

Codeanywhere is giving me full ssh access, this allows to have full access of your container which is awesome for the modern developer, you would have a subdomain to test your website, it has pre built phpmyadmin which saves you time installing.

**What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?**

Prices are a bit pricey if you are a freelancer, or learning programming.

**Recommendations to others considering Codeanywhere:**

It the best to work with the web version only, apps are pretty hard to work with.

**What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Codeanywhere is having the option to develop and work on project no matter where you are, it has a app, works on web.

  ### 13. Good when it works

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Government Administration | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2019

**What do you like best about Codeanywhere?**

The UI is very simple and doesn't provide anything you don't need.

**What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?**

The service is unreliable. My data has been inaccessible for 15 days. I now suspect irreversible data loss.

**Recommendations to others considering Codeanywhere:**

The company tries to seem like they are in California, but in reality, all operations are conducted from Croatia. There don't appear to be any full time staff helping customers. Support requests typically take several weeks to resolve. I lost several weeks of work on this platform when my containers went down and did not come back up.

**What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Not worth it.

  ### 14. Programmer on the go

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Codeanywhere?**

As  a programmer who uses computers at work, home and when traveling having a an IDE that saves its state allows me to drop work on a dime and pick up where I left off. I like being able to transfer files between servers without having to download them first.

**What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?**

Customization of the interface is lacking. Only dark or light and a few color and font options. No syntax checking. Only limited to their virtual machine templates and no sudo access to install other services.  When you close out or idle too long, your SSH connections are also closed. Every couple days or so I have an issue with saving a file where I have to refresh the page to resolve it, very minor but still an inconvenience. I have mentioned it to them, but it hasn't been fixed.

**Recommendations to others considering Codeanywhere:**

Great product for someone who needs a cloud IDE and needs to spin up a virtual machine to test or develop something quick. If you're wanting a bunch of customization, I would look elsewhere. I haven't needed to use their support, so not sure how quickly they can respond, but I haven't had any issues that weren't solved by refreshing the page.

**What problems is Codeanywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Although we have a subscription, it has been cheaper than ordering licenses on our computers plus install time on new ones. Server issues are easy to SSH into without having to remember a password or have a key installed.

  ### 15. Accessible anywhere

**What do you dislike about Codeanywhere?**
