The UI of Codenvy is great. There are so many feature in the menu. The quote for a free user is big enough for common usage. The integration with 3rd party tool (GitHub, Android and so on) are awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The menu is complicated and hard to figure out the right place for my function. It is not friendly to node.js development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codenvy is easy to set up and has loads of functionality. I really like the "commonly used stacks" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a lack of code-completion, however, on a scale from 1-10 of importance - this is a 2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A while ago, it was just the code you could access wherever you are. But now with Codenvy, even the environment is not required. You open the browser, you login and bam! You're good to go. It's has really taken programming to a new era. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overhead of the page loading is a bit slow. But again, it has all these options to be taken care of. But I would really appreciate it if the loading speed was a bit faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say it is one of the easiest cloud IDEs to setup. It gives on demand real-time collaborative IDEs and it's quicker than Cloud9 in this department. It also has a fully functional free tier unlike most other similar cloud IDEs which is very important for someone like me who doesn't need heavy power while being in a learning stage. Also, it provides a terminal with root access which makes life very easy. So all in all, I would put it at the top of cloud IDEs list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lacks drag and drop support and could also provide SSH, FTP kind of access which is crucial for many projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can easily deploy anything web-related within the software, use live previews and some awesome syntax highlighting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I might've had a problem or two connecting to Bitbucket, yet anything else besides this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The number of languages available is really great, and for each of them, your provided a complete environment to work, would it be web or not :)

The IDE is very comfortable and intuitive. I never used online IDEs before, nor VMs, so runenrs and VMs were pretty new to me, and I understood it perfectly. For web apps, a link is provided when running the app and that's that, you can access your project that easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The project creation is fine, but could be improved a lot visually, or mostly the whole website except the IDE.

Does it really matter ? I'm not sure it does as you're gonna spend most of your time in the IDE, but it's true that having a pretty website and pretty docs is nice to have :). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been exploring several cloud-based IDE platforms for the last year. The IDE is the last tie-back to a local machine for me. Once I break that tie, I am free to develop anywhere, any time, on any device.

I have had a broad range of experiences with the leading cloud based IDE's. I have to say, after a few days of exploration and testing existing projects, imported from GitHub, I am very impressed. Codenvy seems to meet the majority of needs I have as a develop to partially or fully replace my local IDE for the types of projects I work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A few commenter remarked about the steep learning curve. I would concur, opening Codenvy for the first time, and getting your barrings is a bit intimidation. The sample project and interactive demo were helpful, but didn't help me feel more at home, initially. However, this could probably be said of many modern, full-featured IDEs (WebStrorm, NetBeans, VisualStudio, etc.). I think after a few projects, it would seem at natural as booting up Eclipse.

The development environment is GREAT for web apps and even full fledged websites. The easy to use dashboard is fantastic and updated dashboard makes it so easy a caveman could do it. The IDE itself feels like working in Eclipse or Netbeans so it has a familiar feel but it's not the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve is steep. I have not yet managed to get "Hello World" to run in any language (including Python). Ease of use gets a D+ at best. It's easy to create a project, edit the project, and save the project, but running the project feels like I need formal training. This is a turn off for me. Hello World in Python especially should be a 1,2,3 task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codenvy packages all of the components of a compiler, and IDE into one, online product. They do so in a well organized, polished product. Although this is all impressive, the real key point to understand is that they do it for FREE. The ability to type code on one computer and seamlessly access it on any other computer by signing into your account is also a great benefit of choosing to use Codenvy.

The program itself is not the most user-friendly, for someone who is just learning how to code, it can be a bit of a challenge to understand all of the options and components of a program. Loading times on projects can also be quite long (depending on what is in your project), but as an online IDE, this is probably to be expected. One other thing I have noticed is that while attempting to allow user inputted data, this IDE does not allow for user input in the console (or I just haven't found out how to do it yet, so this may be an incorrect dislike).

This online developing portal provides a User friendly interface for a novice developer. My initial experience was wonderful with this free facility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are definitely few things and glitches which a novice like me needs to over come in initial phase. I believe that this is because of lack of expertise and experience on my side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
