Used to integrate into the CI/CD process and streamline the editing and updating of code
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of the solution are Copilot and Advanced Security."
  • "The technical support could respond faster."

What is our primary use case?

We used the solution to integrate it into the CI/CD process, streamline the editing and updating of code, and make the environments a little more streamlined and accessible.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of the solution are Copilot and Advanced Security.

For how long have I used the solution?


What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Codespaces is a stable solution.

How are customer service and support?

I rate the solution's customer service an eight out of ten. I rate the solution's technical support a five or six out of ten because the environment wasn't live. It's not like I was experiencing an outage with the problems I was having. So, it was a little less urgent for them.

How was the initial setup?

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup an eight out of ten.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

From what I've seen, the solution doesn't seem like it's overly expensive for what you get.

What other advice do I have?

The coding experience because of GitHub integration is going to be largely the same because GitHub is a standardized platform. All the developers know they like it, and that's why it's popular. They wanted the enterprise to have an offering that integrates with user accounts with Active Directory.

If they onboard a developer as a contractor or just from a vendor perspective or somebody internal, and if that person leaves, code doesn't leave with them. They're not taking it on their own GitHub subscription and then uploading it. It also gives us the extra security of controlling the code that we own.

The setup has nothing to do with the GitHub function in and of itself. It's integrating it with identity providers, in Active Directory, and single sign-on and multifactor authentication. Those were some challenges, but the GitHub experience is good. It's just a matter of locking down the subscription and deployment according to the security group requirements.

Codespaces handles large projects or high-complexity applications very well. It hasn't gone live yet, so I can't vouch for that in this organization. Based on what I know of the structure of it, it's top-notch. Based on what I've seen in the setup, it seems like GitHub is able to handle complex projects and large deployments.

The solution is deployed in the cloud. The solution's infrastructure's maintained by GitHub, and we just maintain the repository. I would recommend Codespaces to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Works as a repository where developers can work together on codes
Pros and Cons
  • "Codespaces' most valuable feature is the repository, which helps the developers to work together. Its data commands are also useful."
  • "We get merge conflict errors and need to resolve them."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution as a repository. We develop the code, push it into different branches, and merge it with the main branch. 

What is most valuable?

Codespaces' most valuable feature is the repository, which helps the developers to work together. Its data commands are also useful. 

What needs improvement?

We get merge conflict errors and need to resolve them. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for ten years. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Codespaces is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

I haven't reached out to the technical support yet. 

How was the initial setup?

I faced difficulty setting up the tool as a junior developer. However, once you become senior and gain experience, you won't face problems. The tool's deployment takes five minutes to complete. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Codespaces a nine out of ten.
