Better than an inhouse test environment Codeanywhere allows me to set up a test environment in seconds and access it from anywhere. It saves me a lot of time spent in setting up those environments locally. It is also a valuable asset in online training, allowing me to work with environments that I may not have access to locally. It's a valuable and reliable tool for any programmer.

I've been a user for over 10 years I've been a user for over 10 years - whenever I need to spin up a new demo, prototype or just a playground to try out a feature or two, Codeanywhere is my go-to platform. I haven't needed always-on features much of the time but when I do, I flex my subscription to accommodate my needs. There are plenty of imitators but Codeanywhere is the one for me.

Poor customer service Due to a change in circumstances, I've not been using CodeAnywhere. They send no notification that the renewal is approaching (unlike more professional companies, some that give multiple warns 3 months in advance). I contacted them as soon as I realised they'd renewed. They cancelled the renewal and the service I'd just been charged for, but now refuse to issue a refund! So now I'm in a situation where I don't have the service they collected the renewal for - they've effectively just stolen the money from me! [further to posting this, CodeAnywhere decided that they could make the refund after all! So if you experience the same problem, don't give up - maybe draw attention to the issue and maybe they'll stop bullying customers]

Horrible customer support! I am a previous, numerous year subscriber to Codeanywhere but cancelled a couple years back due to company restrictions. I attempted to resubscribe using their in-house credit card form but the system declined my payment 4 seperate times over the course of a couple hours. I then used PayPal payment option and it worked perfectly. The next day I notice I was billed all 4 attempts to my credit card, even though the Codeanywhere control panel said it was declined and didn't activate my account. I reached out to their support staff explaining the problem and requesting the refund then literally got the response, "You're account is activated whats the problem?". I explained everything 1 more time in my response and have not received a reply in 10+ days. I now have to open a chargeback and dispute all 4 transactions because of this company's lack of support and functionality. Additionally they lost me as a subscriber. I would suggest avoiding Codeanywhere as Atom IDE with the Remote Editor plugin is completely free and also works very well.

Top Web-Based Coding Platform I have been using the Codeanywhere platform for over 7 years now, originally as a free tier member and then as a subscriber, and there has never been a viable alternative that does anything close to what Codeanywhere achieves. Web-based coding makes it easy to manage projects and collaborate on them with others, work directly with FTP or SSH connections, and allows me to share a live link to my container, which is everything I need. Early impressions of the new Theia-based IDE are that it looks like a massive improvement to a platform that already was amazing. Will be continuing to use Codeanywhere as my main IDE for all my web development programming.
