Codacy vs. Crucible

It's a great tool that has greatly improved our code and I'd recommend it to anyone. With the ability to check duplicated codes. And automated systems to ensure quality and standards when opening a pull requests. The support team is one of the best team I have worked along with because they are very user-friendly and responsive in case of any challenge.

Depends on the version control and devops process your development teams adopt. Git (via Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab, etc...) has become the new industry norm, and using pull requests can often provide the same code review features Crucible is used for. However, if you require code review beyond change/diff based (i.e. via pull request), then Crucible allows you to review code with more granular control, such as on per file basis.

• Code standardization across teams and projects.
• Integration with our in-house workflow processes.
• Perfect for identifying potential security vulnerabilities within our code.

• Easily add comments, identify defects, gather peer input.
• 24/7 input from peers eases developer schedules and location independence.
• Email notifications filtered by group or individuals provide control of who gets notifications, and who can submit comments.

• There should be customization to get code quality for your own projects if standards are provided.
• Offline or a standalone application is much needed from Codacy to get local support.
• Spots a lot of errors and small ones that don't affect much about quality and are de-facto standards.

• It can sometimes be a bit slow to load. A server reboot for us tends to solve that issue. I'm not sure if it is a server issue, or maybe Crucible may have some caching issues.
• I wish that you could easily stop the review creation process, rather than abandoning it.

Great company and support team!

Good support overall being an Atlassian product, with options including free/paid official support and community provided help.

Even though it is paid while SonarQube is free, we chose Codacy because it is simpler to configure and maintain the implemented rules. In addition, it offers support for the main programming languages ​​on the market, ensuring that we can continue to use it if we want to use other languages ​​in new products.

Gitlab and GitHub are very comparable to Crucible, and would probably be my first choice if those were the tools used for versioning as they are directly linked to git. Crucible was chosen by a current client and I had no choice in its selection. I would probably have chosen GitHub if given a say.

• I would say the ROI is not financial but we have the peace of mind of pushing production code that is well structured.

• I am not involved in the acquisition of Crucible so I cannot comment on the financial investment but I believe it is a necessary tool to have in any software shop, small or big.
• As a developer, having Crucible as the code review process is a great asset and will save time and reduce risks which I believe is a positive return of investment.
