AWS Cloud9

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

I'm glad that AWS decided to roll this tool out. Cloud9 is very intuitive and user-friendly. The environment can be easily configured--I can set the codes to the color of my liking. It has a wide range of programming languages too. As wide as its range of services and tools are, I still think that this is an economical choice.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I don't think I have anything negative to say about this program. However, I would suggest that they introduce all of its integrations at the get-go so that we can fully utilize it right away.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

At work, we're able to conceptualize and develop software products with the help of this program. Because it is heavily cloud-based, we can quickly run and integrate various projects into it.

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

There is a myriad of benefits that I've enjoyed with Cloud9. First of all, I think that this works best online. I don't have to download anything on my server. Plus, it can work with just about any programming language too--Python, Java, C, you name it. And, again, because it is online, anyone can access their account and make progress to their work on the go. I can use just about any device too--a laptop or even my phone. I don't have to be tied down to a desk just to get to work. There are also a plethora of shortcuts available to make your coding life a lot easier. Finally, the user always has the option to use the free version. However, if you're serious about coding as much as I am, I'd say that it's still worth paying for the premium.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

It has a free option, but for you to enjoy the full suite of services, you'd have to pay a premium. Plus, there's no auto-run button too. It's a tedious three-step process just to get this solution to run.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

I can create and run codes for creating programs even while I'm on my morning commute. This way, no eureka moment ever gets wasted. I like that I don't have to install anything on my devices too. This lets me work remotely and even reach out to colleagues to ask for their advice without any problem.
