IntelliJ IDEA is designed for those who use Java and Kotlin in their enterprise, web, mobile backend, and full-stack applications and is used by software developers all over the world.
On-premise and cloud-based requirement management solution that helps businesses communicate, collaborate, track changes and verify project requirements with regulations and standard compliance.
Has a great marketplace for plugins and great interface and shortcuts to navigate and edit faster. It helps me code better with suggestions and navigate my code fast.
Uses a lot of resources. This issue is very annoying and happens very often, which can be really frustrating and damage your developing experience.
It works well with lots of frameworks and debugging capability is very good. Integration with git is very good and makes the code check in process seamless.
It is a known issue that most of the IDEs haven' detailed error messages, maybe they can improve this, sometimes the errors are more frustrating.
The autocomplete is amazing, and the debugger is super intelligent and makes it super easy to find bugs and fix unintended behaviors.
When I shoot a new project, my old projects deteriorate. I need to do the dependency settings again.
Overall experience with IntelliJ IDEA is very good and better than Eclipse. I found it as one of the best IDE for Java development.
A number of the other IDEs on the market are resource heavy and sluggish.
Still better than ServiceCenter: more flexible, better customizable, and the UI is better. Also this is very stable and reliable.
The concept of the concurrent connected users license is frustrating and should be changed. In addition, the updating process is awful and taking too much time (in case of success).
IBM Rational is very easy to use bug tracking tool with excellent quality. It is compatible on all the browsers.
The software is picky about where it is and we have four VMs that have to run all the parts of it. Upgrading java has rendered the system useless before.
I most like the tool's ability to review history and run detailed queries. Another feature worth mentioning is it's API while integrating it in some other 3rd part tool.
Licensing method is annoying as it give only concurrent number of users to work on it in parallel. I assume it is more related to budgeting but it was still slowing my work.
The tool is a good solution for managing tasks, very flexible infrastructure make it easy to fit the company needs.
Not so suitable for developers who find the burden of forms and multiple screens for data capture annoying.
Philip T.: My name is Phil. I'm a writer and I give IntelliJ IDEA 5-stars. I decided to try and learn how to write code for Android applications, so I used IntelliJ IDEA as the environment to do that work. It has absolutely everything on it. It's all in one place. Easy to navigate as well and nice clean interface. It was easy to use. I picked it up really quickly. The Help files could probably be improved for IntelliJ IDEA because it offers so much that you can do. There's a lot that you need to learn. So if you're new to the platform, there's a very steep learning curve.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
