Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have been using NetBeans for around 5 years in our organization. The major purpose of its use is for students, as we make students learn Java using NetBeans. It is used by the computer science and engineering department of the university. It is very helpful in the development field and makes programming easy and user-friendly. It can be integrated with multiple tools like IoT selenium for testing and development. NetBeans addresses the major problem of coding in Java with test cases design.

Pros

NetBeans is very efficient in code development and Java web development.
NetBeans is a great tool to install as it is quite easy to use. Its integration is great with other tools.
NetBeans is very good for the creation of testing scripts for automation testing.

Cons

Options for code conversion in other source languages.
There are problems in code execution time and start time if they are high complexity and too heavy.
Import code option is very limited and debugger is less efficient.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is very well suited for big databases and with algorithms the complexity involved is low. It is also very suitable for working with IoT devices and to control code and automation testing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

NetBeans is being used by the entire organization that works in a software consultancy and we are all software developers. It helps us programmers since it is a very useful IDE and its compilation is in real time. Allows us to do many activities in a single application, such as unit tests with JUnit version control with CVS and integration with Ant, which is very useful and decreases the delivery time of the work. You can also add the add-in to provide more features. It is a lightweight platform for software components.

Pros

Excellent tool for programming and very useful to use has helped me reduce the delivery times of small projects.
It is a good IDE to program in Java and shows compilation errors during the programs.
Has utility for many add-ons to generate web services.

Cons

Its biggest con is the consumption of system resources because it does not work for old computers.
It is developed for people who are already professionals and not beginners because the learning curve is wide.
It lacks support for webapps.
But actually, I have nothing bad to say about NetBeans.

Likelihood to Recommend

It runs smoothly. Those of us who work with the development of programs should have it on the PC. Excellent tool for programming and very useful to use has helped me reduce the delivery times of small projects. It is a good IDE to program in Java and shows compilation errors during the programs. In terms of what is not so appropriate is that as it progresses, new versions need more computer requirements - this makes the application fly slow when compiling large codes.

November 13, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Each developer in our organization runs a local instance of Netbeans. We use it for the primary IDE for our PHP applications. It has many tools that help improve the ability of our developers to write good code and to access resources related to the projects they are working on. Each developer can customize many aspects of the software to suit their unique styles and likes.

Pros

PHP code suggestions
Maintain references between projects, classes, and functions
Many customizable key board shortcuts

Cons

Integrations with third party applications

Likelihood to Recommend

We use it primary for development in half a dozen separate PHP applications. We have common projects that span all of the applications. Netbeans does a good job helping to keep track of all of the relationships and dependencies.

NetBeans - Great JAVA IDE

Rating: 8 out of 10

March 21, 2017

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Netbeans as our primary IDE for developing our cloud-based software suite.

Pros

Great java IDE.
Supports many other languages and technologies through plugin framework.
Integration with SVN and GIT.
Integration with JEE servers.

Cons

Sometimes the IDE gets frozen after the monitor is turned off from being idle.
Doesn't handle different monitor resolutions well.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great as a java IDE. Great development integration capabilities. Good as long as everyone on the team is using it. If you have a mix of IDE's that developers are using, it can create challenges.
