This is place where you want to code. Pros All the pre built templates and setup is the most important it saves a lot of my time and effort Cons The clouds web edition, because for a beginner it will be pretty hard to learn all the features and functionality.

Software Engineer Computer Software ### "Good tool for creating and running quick small code snippets" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 July 16, 2021 Overall good tool for free user. It is also used in interviewing process. Where the candidate can live code and we can see the output quickly wihtout any setup. Also, it provides a sharable link to the code that can be shared with the interviewer. Pros It is amazing tool for quick coding of small UI code snippets and see the output quickly. Most of the time we go for free plan. Free plan provides lot of features, you can sync your github repository with codesandbox and all the changes you make in github will be synced in sandbox. Codesanbox provides a lot of languages to code in and provides initial setup so that we can start with minimal configuration Cons The pricing plan for Codesanbox is high for Indian users. That can be improved. Also, code sandbox supports only UI languages for now. They should add support to run backend languages and framework like Java, spring boot too.

Survey Programmer Market Research ### "The best code editor you will find." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 16, 2021 I have been using this tool to develop my websites and it stands out to the expectations. It also have many templates, which we can apply. The auto code complete helps a lot in coding and we don't have to write the entire basic codes again and again. The debugging feature is very helpful and the live preview helps too. Pros It is an online tool and everything is stored on the cloud. We can code in any programming language and the interface is very smooth. We can pull all our repositories directly from GitHub and view it in codesandbox which is the best feature this editor has. Cons As the tool is an online tool, it is a bit slow when compared to other tools around. The free versions have very less features and the premium version should be less expensive. Apart from this I don't find any dislikes for this tool. Switched from [Visual Studio Code](https://www.capterra.com/p/186634/Visual-Studio-Code/) The tool is very robust and heavy-weight and makes the system hang and all other processes slow. It require very big space in the disk. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Pros I like the best about code sandbox that without installing anything in our system we can do coding and practice as it provides a boiler plate .For taking interviews or giving an interview this is a helpful platform which saves time by writing solution directly.Also it provides multiple technologies boiler plate option like reactjs,vuwjs,angularjs,Javascript,etc. Cons Sometimes we need to refresh the page as the page will not load because of timeout issue.Otherwise there is no issues in using codesand box.It provides all the best features which a programmer want to code.

Pros The thing that i like most about Codesandbox is that i can use multiple from the get go, and we don't have to write any bolierplate stuff which makes things a lot easier.
