The best part I like about Review Board is it’s simplicity. It doesn’t have barrage of options like other review systems I have seen. It has a simple workflow that anyone can understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review board is falling behind other review systems in certain aspects like ability to integration with IDEs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to integrate. Open source. The page load is pretty fast that we do not need to wait for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Diff can only contain text. The image content cannot be displayed. No 'feed' for review board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review Board's no-frills approach to a code review is probably it's most defining feature. See diffs, update comments, add reviewers, a text box for tests you did, a textbook for your descriptions, and a publish button once you're done making your changes. Everything you need; nothing you don't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a small learning curve to get used to it's interface, but it doesn't really take too long to do. One glaring disadvantage to Review Board compared to other similar software is that it's not pretty; some may even call it ugly. Although to others this very trait might be its unusually endearing quality. It comes down to preference in a sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of the interface and the simple ways to achieve code reviews Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way the code difference is displayed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not a super complex tool. It just shows you a diff and lets you make comments. That's all your really want in a code review tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes diffs don't load. And the workflow of matching up with a branch could be more solid. I'm not sold on its usefulness. Also, the command-line tools could be really useful in windows. I haven't seen a good integration of those. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review Board is easy to setup and integrate with existing codebases

It supports both git and svn repositories, as well as branches, changelists, and custom diff patches

It even supports uploading of images and other files for more user-facing features

There's also JIRA integration, where we can specify JIRA tickets associated with the review board request, and these will then be integrated into the commit message while pushing.

Additionally, it supports ACL restrictions, which means that one or more users need to approve a review board request before the user can push their code to the repository.

Lastly, Review Board has a very powerful diff tool which makes it very simple to review large amounts of code and comment on parts effectively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, if code is moved from one part of the file to another, the diff tool makes it hard to understand what code was moved and what code was actually changed.

The user interface has not changed in years, and there are better and more modern alternatives like Phabricator.

It is difficult to integrate custom templates into Review Board, and the Slack bot is not very useful either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
