PyCharm Reviews & Product Details

The most helpful thing is the ui it is very simple and not very difficult to find anything. it ability to run large python files is the best thing about the pycharm. While working on building AI models our team used pycharm as the code editor as every library that we needed for our project was available and we just needed to integrate it.

It lags a lot like when i try to upload a large folder even after full upload sometimes it is removed which make the work very hectic. It does not support any AI integrations which makes difficult to resolve doubts in our code or correct the errors in our code. While working we looked for AI to review our code but it was not there in pycharm editor this was not a good thing in today's time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work as a software engineer at a mid-sized tech company where our team mainly builds backend REST APIs and data processing pipelines. My day-to-day involves writing a massive amount of Python code, managing local Docker containers, and running complex database queries. I use PyCharm Professional as my primary IDE because it acts as a centralized workstation for all of these tasks, preventing me from having to constantly juggle five different applications just to get a single feature built.What I appreciate most about PyCharm is how deeply it actually understands Python. The code completion and refactoring tools go way beyond basic text matching; making widespread changes like renaming classes or extracting methods across a large codebase feels incredibly safe and intuitive. The built-in database integration is another massive benefit for my workflow. Instead of switching back and forth between my code and a separate SQL client like DBeaver, I can inspect tables, run queries, and modify schemas right next to my Python files. I also have to highlight the native visual debugger. Being able to step through complex, multi-layered API requests and inspect local variables in real-time has saved me countless hours compared to just dropping print statements everywhere.

On the downside, PyCharm is notoriously heavy and takes a serious toll on system resources. When I have a couple of large microservices open along with several Docker containers running in the background, my laptop definitely starts to lag, and the initial indexing time when you first clone and open a new repository can really test your patience. The sheer number of features, tool windows, and settings menus can also be quite overwhelming. It took me a good few months to figure out where everything was, and I notice that newer junior developers joining our team often feel intimidated by the interface at first glance.

Excellent Python support. The smart code completion is genuinely helpful, and the real-time error detection catches issues early. The intelligent refactoring tools are also a strong point. It understands Python deeply, which helps reduce bugs and speeds up development. The debugger is powerful, and the built-in tools for developers make day-to-day work smoother.

Heavy on system resources. The startup is slow, which can be frustrating when I just want to get going quickly. Also, the professional version is paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the syntax and being able to program in any desired state I want. I can use PyCharm to program with Python and make programs for projects at work, including projects I wouldn’t have been able to do without Python. Everything works really well, and the setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PyCharm is the best IDE I’ve used throughout my programming career. It’s extremely powerful, packed with features, and still very easy and intuitive to use. The plug-in ecosystem is excellent, and I’ve never had the feeling that anything important was missing. On my Apple Silicon MacBook Pro, it runs very fast, so performance has never been an issue.

I’m also very happy with the pricing. I really like that the longer you stay with JetBrains, the more loyalty discounts they offer. Their student programme is great as well. I also appreciate that if they decide to raise prices, they give you a heads-up and the option to pre-pay at the old rate for the next few years. That feels like genuine respect for long-time customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The push for AI features is a bit annoying but it's easy to turn off so that's good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The entire ecosystem, starting from the extremely curated UI to the functionalities that are all present, the autocompletion is truly precise and greatly speeds up and simplifies the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The flaws are not many, one certainly being the plugin list not on par with the main competitor VS Code, but that's normal. The second is obviously the price, but for an editor of this level, it's acceptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use PyCharm for writing simple Python code while learning it for different aspects of my role. I find it convenient to have everything I need in one place and to be able to work on multiple projects simultaneously without the interface being too cluttered or distracting. PyCharm was fairly easy to pick up and use, and although it felt a bit complicated to navigate at first, I eventually found it streamlined and uniform once I got used to it. Installing and getting started with PyCharm was easy enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first few times I used it I didn't fully understand how to use it to open or save projects. The language was a bit confusing. Maybe having better help options more easily accessible from the interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PyCharm is very easy to use and user friendly in nature. I have been using it for automation and it has helped me do my tasks with ease, There were quite a few projects that I have done using PyCharm and have used it everyday for the past 8 months. I have also been using the inline code recommendation from the integrated copilot. Have also integrated Gitlab in it. The implementation of the code was easy as AI was helping me alot. The Customer support was also fast in response as there was a bug which I reported and got fast reply. I'd say the experience was very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only drawback I faced using pycharm was the agentic or ask mode of copilot in Pycharm. The suggestions and code changes that were suggested were less efficient and required a lot of tries. Apart from that I have no other issue with the Pycharm software itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use PyCharm for Python, and it’s good for completing end-to-end projects. I like its suggestions and auto-completion, and its code inspection and cleanup. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find PyCharm costly for individual use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a development environment specialized in Python as a programming language. Among its features, and what I am testing now, is the student version with GitHub, which provides a license that allows you to take guided programming courses, where you learn about basic structures and other elements. In other words, besides being a code compiler, it also allows you to learn through courses either from PyCharm itself or from Coursera. Among its functionalities, I have found the possibility to integrate tools for productivity and project management in data science, and it creates virtual environments for the use of projects.

At the moment, the only bottleneck I've had is the language update in PyCharm. Even though I've configured it, this hasn't been reflected in the windows, which has made things a bit complicated for me. Likewise, constantly and recurrently, I've had to validate the license. For example, for the use of AI, a credit card is requested as a security mechanism. This doesn't bother me, but the excessive authentication or license validation does.
