## Illuminated Cloud Reviews
  ### 1. Great Experience

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sourav S. | Technical Manager

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2022

**What do you like best about Illuminated Cloud?**

Seemless Development experience I get without navigating through the Object Manager and Other Configurations. I can simply focus on writing/ debugging codes and Illuminated Cloud 2.0 was there to help me with the Auto Completions.

**What do you dislike about Illuminated Cloud?**

I don't think so if there are such things I dislike about Illuminated Cloud 2.0, but If I had to mention then I think the Provided Debugging Capabilities can be better.

**What problems is Illuminated Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Illuminated Cloud 2.0 for building Projects around the Salesforce Platform.  And mostly the benefits I received through the Productivity part.

  ### 2. Amazing tool to simplify Salesforce Development

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Richie L. | Business System Developer/Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2019

**What do you like best about Illuminated Cloud?**

This tool makes modifying any metadata in a salesforce organization amazingly simple. Being able to use a great IDE like IntelliJ with salesforce development not only helps standardize what our developers work in, but just makes Salesforce development that much more simple.

**What do you dislike about Illuminated Cloud?**

I wish it used an easier authentication to the salesforce server like most applications, instead you need to reset your security token.

**Recommendations to others considering Illuminated Cloud:**

They have a trial, I suggest giving it a try. Make sure to set your projects up correctly to avoid writing code to wrong environments. Naming is important.

**What problems is Illuminated Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Developings having to work in the Developer Console, and helped create a true development process for our company when using Salesforce.
