"Great insights, easy to handle, management friendly"
5/5
What do you like best about Embold?

I do like the possibility to assure the quality of software development. Gamma provides technical insights and provides help for the developers as well as KPI for the management. The progress of projects is easy to document and to monitor while you can assure that the quality rises.

I couldn't imagine any software development project withouth the use of Gamma anymore.

The software is easy to use and fair priced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Embold?

I dislike that it took us to long to understand how Gamma could push our projects into a better direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"By far the most mature approach for code quality confirmation/remediation"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Embold?

I could analysis my code in minutes with a simple upload of a zip file (other methods possible).

Gamma gave me a complete view of all aspects of my code including design & dependency issues.

I also gave me VALID/RELEVANT metrics Vs the so-called metrics of the more dated tools out there.

Finally, the prioritization engine of Gamma is super-precise and it was human-checked later and verified. It can help save many hours of work, great help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Embold?

I assume Acellere comes from industry with the best support for C/C++/C##/Objective C and Java.

So the full Gamma experience is somewhat degraded for other languages like Php or JS. Still great results and prioritization but no design issues for example.

It took me some time to understand how to navigate the features, some kind of interactive help-menu would have helped Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to review Gamma!

I’m happy that our metrics can help you make more well-informed decisions. It is great to hear that Gamma passed your test when you had someone look at it!

We are currently working on building full support of all our languages to be on par with other languages. The content of our new service update will be available on our website.

Do not hesitate to reach out to us for any further comments or questions!

Best,

"Very powerful tool with a somewhat steep learning curve"
4/5
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.

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.

"An awesome refactoring help"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Embold?

I like the speed of scanning, the possibility to integrate with Jira and the ease of making issues out of your code smells. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Embold?

There ain't really a thing I dislike. The only two things I missed but ain't necessary are a coupling with VSTS and an app to check scans or do some stuff. I'm used to be able to check some stuff with apps like a bitbucket app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Ashley Bannon of Embold

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.

Best,

Markus
