Feasible convenience

I can go to work and develop my personal site during my break times. Or be anywhere in the world and access to a computer, then i can edit my site. With the built in ssh console this is just so useful.

PROS

I stopped development for nearly a year but i kept my subscription because the price is so reasonable i felt it holds value to keep it. I started development again and this service is fantastic for what i need

CONS

Sometimes the auto text is annoying but i should find the setting to turn it off. Also tbe auto indentation doesnt seem to work well when i have a custom 2 line indent. But these things are not seriois issues since the other features are just so good.

Reason for choosing Codeanywhere

The price and how well it works

Codeanywhere anytime with anyone

I use codeanywhere to collaborate and push out small websites with distributed teams. I also teach our bootcampers how to use CA. Final projects are built and deployed using CA.

PROS

IDE, git support, custom stacks and ability to provide licenses to our students

CONS

lack of Python/Django support, switch from previous IDE to the new environment had a few pain points

Reason for choosing Codeanywhere

ease of use and customer service

Reasons for switching to Codeanywhere

Decent, but not worth the cost

Codeanywhere has made it convenient for me to work on projects when I am away from my main machine, particularly when I am using a device that isn't capable of running developer software. I used it until they changed their pricing model to charge all users, since I can't justify paying per-month for an online editor, especially since I don't use the container functionality that much.

PROS

It is decent as an editor and allows for connections to different remote sources, as well as its own built-in development container system. It works fairly well in different browsers (although some keybinds might interfere).

CONS

The interface isn't particularly great, and it seems unreasonable for them to charge to access remote servers (at least for a student). The built-in preview panel also can be clunky, and sometimes the container system can be temperamental with regards to proxying a running dev server.

Reasons for switching to Codeanywhere

Big improvements in recent updates

I like having an "always on" container so that I can show my work to someone. plus codeanywhere is handy for spinning up and destroying sites that I only need for a short time.

PROS

I like that it's very simple to set up a WordPress site. I'm a WordPress plugin developer, I don't want to be a linux system admin.

CONS

For the longest time, I could not COPY and PASTE in the terminal when using Firefox. This was infuriating, but does seem to be resolved with their recent updates. While support is generally pretty helpful, I have had instances of waiting several weeks for a response too.

Reason for choosing Codeanywhere

I still use Local a lot. However, local runs pretty slowly on Windows and the number of times I need to code but am not connected to the internet is pretty low. If the git GUI supported staging lines/chunks I would probably ditch Local entirely

Reasons for switching to Codeanywhere

when cloud 9 was bought out by amazon it became completely unusable. It became a complex task to create a new WordPress container/site.

Vendor Response

Has some good and not so good features.

I am building mainly Wordpress websites at the moment, and I like to use codeanywhere to test updates on sites, so the containers must be able to be easily restarted after not being used for a while.

PROS

I like that clients can view my websites as I build them. Very easy set up of wordpress containers.

CONS

Doesn't allow the upload of large files, over 6gb. Containers all too frequently fail to load.

Reasons for switching to Codeanywhere

Amazon took over Cloud 9 and made it impossible to use, no matter how I tried could not load wordpress. Amazon also had a very hard to understand pricing model.

Vendor Response

Hi Graham, Thanks! You can install large file support extensions from the extensions marketplace! We also offer different plans with regards to memory management (SSD and RAM).

Very easy to use

In every way it's a great tool to do HTML5, CSS3, database and php programming.

PROS

Codwanywhere is my programming FTP tool, and works really fine in every way.

CONS

It could be cheaper to get more ftp connections, or at least give 20 connections for basic price. And it would also be great if we could split screen, and more effective download and upload more files at same time.

Vendor Response

Dear Eric, Thanks for your valuable feedback! Note that in our new VS-Code like IDE downloads and uploads are effective, and you can share your container with a friend for a true pair-programming experience. This is a new release, check it out! Best, Codeanywhere Team

It's Great when it Works

For the most part, it's great. However, finding an alternative when it doesn't work is annoying.

PROS

A very simple development environment to manage multiple connections.

CONS

Occasionally, Code Anywhere will fail to connect to a server or fail to open/save a file. Nobody seems to know why this happens, or how to resolve, other than waiting a few hours and hoping for the best.

Codeanywhere is great for remote developers

overall this is a great product I would highly recommend it

PROS

I love the fact that I can make simple edits on my phone or on my computer. The ability to have the same experience on my MacBook pro's I have on my Chromebook or my Android was outstanding.

CONS

I had some experiences where the shared server environment where my server was hosted blocked the IP addresses from code anywhere. I didn't have a good pathway to fix the problem and the hosting provider wasn't able to help me. It did resolve itself over time

Reasons for switching to Codeanywhere

I still use both programs but I love the fact that I can use code anywhere on multiple platforms

A solid cloud IDE

No major complaints aside from the stacks provided when starting a new project are a bit outdated. Not really a show stopper as I can always update this on the cam itself or bring my own stack

PROS

Ease of use and good pricing are things I enjoy from Cloud IDES, CodeAnywhere is well priced and just works.

CONS

IDE feels outdated when compared newer offerings and project environments could be updated (specially the OS stack)

Vendor Response

Hi Adrian, Thanks for your review! We are in the progress of launching an upgraded IDE, stay tuned!

Exactly What I needed

I'll continue to use Codeanywhere to update my websites. It's a great tool and haven't found any other service that offers the same tools at the same price. It's an overall great service and experience.

PROS

I purchased the service to be able to update and manage my website's code from anywhere and from any computer. The service works as promised and it's awesome that I can hop onto any computer, login, and make the changes I needed to my website.

CONS

The level of documentation for setting up some connections is very poor. And when I reached out for a question on setting up and FTP connection, I never heard back from the support team. Eventually I figured it out on my own.

A bit buggy in places but generally very good

Generally pretty good and I'd say it's helped to improve me as a coder

PROS

Ease of use. Nice IDE layout (still using the classic IDE, haven't enjoyed the new one so much). No need to install software and can use it quickly on any device

CONS

It's a bit buggy in places. Can't download folders to my local machine, have to download files one by one. Since the introduction of the new IDE it's also a bit confusing with what connections are where

Reasons for switching to Codeanywhere

Didnt like the Adobe model and it installs loads of crap on my computer. I switched from photoshop and illustrator to Affinity products but couldn't find a good coding alternative, until CodeAnywhere

A great web application that acts native

Overall experience is excellent with only one small software glitch on codeanywheres part

PROS

The fact that it's in the web. I run it on an ARM powered surface pro X so I prefer the web approach for a smooth experience.

CONS

The new interface is a little confusing and seems to be missing aspects of the old ide etc. For example spinning up directly connected GitHub containers.
