Very powerful tool with a somewhat steep learning curve **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Josh W. | Senior Software Engineer, Marketing and Advertising, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2018 **What do you like best about Embold?** The sheer number of metrics and ease of generating them is phenomenal. The default set of evaluation criteria is very well aligned with what you would expect and there was immediate value after the first scan. some of the visualization tools are things I didn't even know I needed in my life until I tried them out. Each repository you add only counts against your LoC limit once, unless you add it as a separate project. You can select which branch you need to scan each time you initiate a scan as well. **What do you dislike about Embold?** Some of the descriptions and acronyms are not linked with their definitions yet, but from speaking with the team, that is something that's coming down the pipe. I would ideally like to see their pricing model support line of code packs in exchange for less # of scans, but i understand why their current model doesn't support this. In our use case as more of a static analysis tool, we don't need constant scanning, and we don't need many users to have access to the tool. Unfortunately, with the current model, we would need to upgrade to a 50+ user pack to cover all of the LoC that we would need in order to scan our entire code base. **Recommendations to others considering Embold:** Gamma is free to test with open source repositories (there's a limit to the number of scans per day though), so I definitely recommend trying it out with your favorite OSS repo. You'll be able to test out some of the amazing evaluation tools Gamma has built up and I think you'll immediately see the benefit of having it targeted at your own codebase. **What problems is Embold solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're using the tool to help identify areas that can be refactored easiest, as well as to help guide those refactors. Being able to easily find all of the giant "god classes" and see how they could be broken cleanly into smaller ones is super helpful. **Official Response from Ashley Bannon:** > Hello Josh, Thank you for your very thorough review and your suggestions! We are looking into how to adapt our pricing model to fit the majority of our customer’s needs, as well as applying all the necessary updates. I am glad the refractoring function is helping you out the most! Should you have any more questions, or need any help, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Best, Ashley ### 3. Very interesting and promising analytics platform **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Holger G. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2018 **What do you like best about Embold?** Very good UI and usability, partition editor has to be specially mentioned as this offers an intelligent way to provide input to improve software architecture. **What do you dislike about Embold?** Missed integration into developers' IDE, was mentioned to exist in the near future though. **What problems is Embold solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hints for separation of code and architecture improvement. Improvement of quality of code. **Official Response from Ashley Bannon:** > Hi Mr. Glutsch, Thank you for taking the time to review Gamma! We appreciate the feedback. Gamma can already be integrated into Eclipse and Visual Studio for major languages. The IDE integrations are currently only provided with the self-hosted version of Gamma, but we are working on making it available to our cloud customers as well. In addition, we are working on integration into IntelliJ and VS Code. If you have some specific requirements, we can find an individual solution as well. Please get in contact with our support if this is interesting for you.
