Solution Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best software Easy to use Meets all expectations" June 10, 2021 4.0 The overall experience is very good. Coderbyte really helped us to hire students with minimum ease. Pros 1\. Coderbyte is having a very good UI to create and manage the tests 2. The assessment of students is so easy that we can easily segregate and sort the students. 3. Rating of the coding round questions and providing the complexity of the solutions is really appreciable feature. 4. Identifying the copiers is very easy as we are getting information about each and every movement of the student. Cons 1\. Need to have bulk import functionality in the custom questions tests option. 2. Sometimes found no information about the student's movements 3. The ultimate solutions for coding round questions need to be shared with the recruiter. this will help the recruiter to cross verify the coding round solution of students.

CTO E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Meets most expectations" May 24, 2021 5.0 Creating technical assessments and evaluating candidates' scores is a lot less time consuming compared to taking technical interviews. This helps us filter out the candidates easily based upon their assessment score and the time within which they complete the assessment. After the candidates meet the threshold score, we take technical interviews. So a lot of our time was saved by Coderbyte! Pros Coderbyte is the perfect plaform for tech recruitment. It offers a wide variety of pre-built challenges and questions which focus on evaluating the logical skills of candidates. It also allows to create custom challenges or ask custom questions, be it objective or subjective. Plagiarism detection is the most useful feature as it helps us identify truly honest candidates. Support is quick, we faced a few data issue, but they were solved quickly after contacting the support team. Coderbyte also filters out candidates based upon their score and highlights them in the summary view which helps us focus on the important candidates. The video recording of candidates' screen gives us a crisp idea of how they are attempting to solve coding challenges, which is quite helpful in judging the candidates Cons Pricing, it seems a bit expensive for India. Would prefer to pay around Rs. 5000 per month, instead of the current Pro pricing ($199/month which approximates to Rs. 15,000) UI/UX could be improved, I feel it is a little complex for now. Their pre-built templates for challenges and questions could improve by focusing on more technologies like mobile development (Android, iOS, Flutter) Reason for choosing Coderbyte One feature which superseded all other alternatives: Unlimited assessments and candidate invites. All other alternatives have limited assesments and invites. Review Source NC Nezare C. CTO Research Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ineffective tool, primitive auth, support is the worst I’ve encountered" September 2, 2021 1.0 Pros Stay away. Every other tool I used is better than this. Cons The support, condescending and unhelpful. The support form tells you to expect two weeks to receive a response. Review Source KS Kiran S. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Saves Time and Helps Identify Candidates for the Next Round" September 10, 2021 5.0 Pros I found CoderByte easy to use and helped us save time in the recruitment process. We used Coderbyte to identify candidates that we wanted to interview. I compared a lot of dev assessments and Coderbyte offered the best value since it had simple pricing that includes everything you need and even has a per candidate pricing option for those who do not recruit that frequently like us. Cons I felt that there could be more tests offered. Also for some of the most senior candidates they found the tests to be really easy, but I guess it was good, we could see how quickly they were able to solve the challenges compared to the junior developers. Review Source FA Farouk A. Technical Team Lead Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Value for money" June 28, 2021 5.0 The application was easy to use and performed beyond expectation especially when compared to similar products and the cost of those products. Pros The rich features of the code editor. Candidates can search Google within the editor. It also supports web frameworks such as Angular and React in addition to multiple programming language support. Cons I would like to see support for more than 300 candidates to be added to a Screening Assessment. Reason for choosing Coderbyte Codebyte came at a very reasonable cost with the features it provides. Review Source MV Marijn V. Head of Technology Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very easy to use, quality coding-test platform for developers!" November 2, 2021 5.0 Pros Easy to use! Great, extensive question library with a huge breadth and depth. Coderbyte is also making big steps in improving the platform and I absolutely love the benchmarking. Now, you cannot only see if a question is easy, medium, or hard, but also how many points ALL previous candidates scored to get a proper idea of difficulty. Cons Pricing might be a bit steep if you have a small need or just a few developers to assess but on the other hand, making a bad hire is even more expensive ;) Alternatives considered [Codility](https://www.capterra.com/p/177457/Codility/) Review Source JP Jason P. Director of Business Operations Gambling & Casinos Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great recruiting tool" June 10, 2021 4.0 Pros I found the overall setup and use of the software fairly simple. We were able to select and setup online assessment fairly quickly and distribute it to candidates to assess their skills within the day of the setup. Cons There was no simple way to search for tests based on their tags . Some of the tasks contained 'tags' and if I could search by tags, it would've been very easy for me to select the types of tests I wanted to ask in the assessment. However, because this wasn't available, I had to open up each quiz then had to review the test itself one at a time, very manual. Review Source YA Yair A. Engineering Team Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solid new contender" August 3, 2019 4.0 We just started using Coderbyte to help automate and standardize our engineering pipeline. Setup was easy, and we were able to preview our assessments and send them out to candidates in < 1 hour. Looking forward to seeing the impact on our recruiting processes – optimistic so far. Pros \- Straightforward setup, easy to send challenges to candidates - Support has been very responsive so far - Software seems to be frequently updated - Enterprise offering allows for custom domain and branding - Inexpensive - Library of challenges is a nice plus Cons \- Some questionable UX choices + unexplained features (how does scoring work?) - Need to email support to set up ATS integrations Alternatives considered [Codility](https://www.capterra.com/p/177457/Codility/)[HackerRank](https://www.capterra.com/p/143549/HackerRank/) Reason for choosing Coderbyte Price, feature set, support Review Source Response from Coderbyte Enterprise August 6, 2019 We're thrilled that you're seeing so much value in Coderbyte, and are excited to continue improving the platform and enterprise feature set.

November 4, 2020 5.0 Pros Really easy to use, customizable, good metrics and feedback. Just wanted to use for 2 months and it was a vey pleasant experience.

Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Software for Screening Potential Candidates" September 15, 2020 4.0 Pros Quick Creation of Assessments based on Skills or Roles. Configurable Email Templates for sending out invite email. Cons The Questions Library needs to be increased with more questions at Hard Level. Although there are good questions already, but it will be more advantageous to have more questions especially for FrontEnd Developer Role. Alternatives considered [HackerRank](https://www.capterra.com/p/143549/HackerRank/) Reason for choosing Coderbyte We found it easier to setup and use. Review Source AB Alessandro B. Senior Staff Engineer Defense & Space Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good Experience for candidates evaluation" April 15, 2021 4.0 The main benefit was to screen a lot of candidates very efficiently before setting up phone interviews. Pros The features that I liked most about this software are the anti-cheating feature and the possibility to watch the recorded videos of the candidates when trying to solve the code challenges. The latter was very important to me since it helped me understanding the way the candidates approached the problem. Cons Most of the time the email sent to the candidates with the link for the code assessment were either going into the candidates' spam folder or not working. Review Source RB Regev B. CTO Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Awsome Product" January 14, 2020 5.0 Pros Great set of challenges and easy to use UI. Great pricing tiers. Cons The open questions library is a bit thin Review Source AP Ayush P. Founder Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Affordable alternative to Hackerrank" December 24, 2020 5.0 Pros Affordability—pricing is not based on number of assessments. Great customer service! Cons User interface could be improved. Rewind is broken 50% of the time. Plagiarism detector can be improved; perhaps include the ability to view the number of times an interviewee left the tab during open-ended questions. Review Source AD Analisse D. People Operations Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use, a perfect tool for hiring developers" October 23, 2019 5.0 Overall, it is just what I needed and there is always support if I ever have questions or concerns.

Currently, our SQL and front-end challenges are entirely private with no public solutions. Coderbyte also detects plagiarism in case candidates copy and paste. And, with feedback from Zenwork and other leading brands that partner with Coderbyte, we will be extending our library to include many more private challenges quite soon. Justine L. Product Skills Trainer Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Is Coderbyte worth it? Here's what I think..." August 5, 2021 4.0 Overall, coderbyte is good product with minimal room for improvement Pros Coderbyte is has a wonderful UI to make and manage the tests The assessmentof students are not hard to the point that we can without a doubt confine and sort the students. Rating of the coding round questions and giving the complexity of the courses of action is really evident component. Recognizing the copiers is uncommonly basic as we are getting information about each and every advancement of the student.r 1 million customer plans that are available to people. The evaluation of understudies are not hard to the point that we can without a doubt disengage and sort the understudies. Cons \-Need to have mass import function in the custom questions tests choice. -A definitive answer for coding round questions should be imparted to the recruiter. this will assist the recruitment team with intersection check the coding round arrangement of students. -Now and then discovered no data about the student's developments Review Source TR Therese R. TA Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for small number of requirements" July 26, 2022 3.0 We are a Travel and Technology organization that supports start-up platforms. We understand the limitations and we give chances to them- sometimes too many chances. I would say this is one of those platforms that fail miserably in many aspects. We are hiring 12-17 Developers per month but this platform did not give justice to the cost. Moreover what really prompt us to give up is the support and the attitude of the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]in his responses in the email) during a few chances we reach out to them. Pros Easy to implement. No hassle on setting up. Does not require a lot of work if this is your first time using an assessment tool Cons If you are a company that uses ATS or any platform for recruitment - It's not for you. They cannot be integrated into any new/mostly used ATS If you are a company that spends time(wanted to invest) in Candidate Experience - It's not for you. Coderbyte features in this area are not as customizable for their pricing. If you are a company that loves good UI/UX - It's not for you. The Assessments have to be open 1 by 1 in a new tab, or else you will lose all the changes. If you are a company with a limited budget - It's not for you. All basic feature like downloading the list of candidates has to be purchased If you like a product that loves to receive support - DEFINITELY NOT FOR YOU. You will be asked (or demanded) by the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] to provide a reason why are you canceling and prove that your feedback is not true. You have to be ready on following up with them with whatever Add ons you purchased. Reason for choosing Coderbyte Our organization greatly supports new platforms in the market Review Source David Felipe C. VP of Engineering Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Coding assesment tool that candidates and managers love" February 17, 2022 5.0 We increased our assessment-taking rate in 40% with the tool, and it has also had a good impact on evaluating hard skills for engineers trying to enter the company. Pros It was very easy to set up, the pre-made tests are very good and they fit normal job tasks for developers. The code editor is good and results reports are very detailed Cons none by the moment, it fits the needs of my team Alternatives considered [HackerRank](https://www.capterra.com/p/143549/HackerRank/) Reason for choosing Coderbyte Price and features Switched from [TestGorilla](https://www.capterra.com/p/203823/TestGorilla/) Assessments were not customizable and very oriented to questionnaires rather than coding skills Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Computer Networking Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Some quick feedback" October 23, 2019 4.0 Pros The price is definitely competitive. Playback of candidates doing the challenge is good for inspecting 'cheaters'. The candidate summary is very useful. Cons The fact that I cannot easily add custom tests is a big con. No pair programming with webcam. Review Source Response from Coderbyte Enterprise October 26, 2019 Hello, Thanks for being a valued Coderbyte customer! We appreciate your feedback and are excited to soon be releasing some major updates to our pair programming product. Also, we understand that adding custom tests could be faster. Right now, we apply an expert review to all custom tests to ensure that the candidate experience remains excellent. On other platforms like HackerRank, the lengthy and tedious challenge descriptions create a terrible experience for candidates. We want to make sure that never happens on Coderbyte so that our customers can continue to hire top talent, rather than drive them away! Thanks, Coderbyte Smitha B. Director Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Coderbyte for Employee Assessment" October 24, 2019 4.0 Our overall experience has been excellent. Coderbyte has been easy to setup tests for our assessments. We are able to run multiple tests in large numbers and evaluate students for our campus recruitment. This has reduced our TAT in scoring and evaluation, help better our hiring process and made it very objective. The candidates also find it easy and engaging to use. Pros The time based scoring for the result. Coderbyte not only evaluates on completion of assessment but also on the time taken to complete the assessment. It also checks for plagiarism and this is a very good feature when we are conducting assessments for recruitment. Cons Inability to withdraw/cancel invites. Sometimes wrong invites get sent out or candidates are not interested, in such cases there is no option to withdraw or cancel the invite. Also if a candidate has already received an invite but for any reason not got the email, there is no option to resend an invite. Reason for choosing Coderbyte The customer service, ease of use and pricing. Review Source Linda N. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Useful tool for candidate prescreening" October 16, 2019 4.0 We use the tool for candidate prescreening - a 20-30 minute technical exercise before a candidate is invited for an onsite interview. We've had some success with the tool but are having some difficulty tuning the questions such that the score is a decent indicator of a candidate's success. Pros Preconfigured questions and test cases that allows users to use an online IDE to submit a coding sample. Relatively low price point to other tools evaluated. Cons Difficult to tune the prescreening questions to meet our needs - we're still working through a balance of finding questions that aren't a time burden on candidates but produce a decent amount of code to review for quality (not just accuracy + time as is auto graded). Alternatives considered [HackerRank](https://www.capterra.com/p/143549/HackerRank/) Reason for choosing Coderbyte Mainly features provided for the overall price Review Source Sibi K.

Coderbyte helped us to prepare different level tests for different positions we had and also it has very nice reports such as score %, Plagiarism, recording of their tests and many more factors which really helped us to take decisions. Amazing tool! Cons The UX of Admin panel could be improved. There were times where I had to find a candidate but couldnt find easily.
