Worst platform available Awful company. The platform has so much potential but the company are awful to deal with. So I bought it at a very reasonable 50% off the annual price and the platform worked for maybe 2 days then totally stopped working. So I contacted support. They offered zero solution for me. I was ignored in 95% of my emails. I first wanted the issue resolved as I did feel the platform had potential but the issue was ignored. The platform literally did not work at all as in I could log in but it would not open any "container" to actually write code. Eventually I got a reply after an entire month pursuing an answer. I did get a refund in the end so I can't fault that. Later I made the stupid decision of coming back to check if they had worked on the issues so I paid for a 1 month subscription to see if the platform has improved because as I said I did feel it has potential. It had not. It still doesn't work on any of my laptops/computers and I reached out to support AGAIN and AGAIN I am without a response. This time around it is not such a big deal as I only paid 1 month to test but overall a very bad experience and a very bad company to deal with or try to get answers out of. In a market with so many competitors and most of them are free to use, I just don't see the point in using a platform with such consistent issues and such inconsistent support.

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.

Incredible slow I study Full-stack-development and my uni switched from a Gitpod to Codeanywhere. It's terrible! Slow, laging all the time and if I succeed to load workspace is a big win. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

A great idea A great idea. Sometimes I just want to play with an idea and CodeAnywhere lets me spin up a dev environment quickly and work on it. After a long wait they finally updated .Net Core to the latest version, and changed their editor to VSCode. There are still things i'd like to see added over time like a complete rewrite of their documentation, better control of port binding, maybe a nice GUI for Git, and maybe a nice easy way to build and publish code to an external host. But the real value is having a dev environment completely hosted in the cloud.

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]
