Gives access to documentation references when hovered over the code
We have integrated the tool with GitHub. PyCharm provides easy integration with GitHub, allowing us to push changes directly. Many plugins are available on PyCharm for GitHub integration, including GitHub Copilot for auto code completion and GitHub Copilot Chat for assistance with code-related queries. The solution has significantly improved my coding efficiency with its feature that shows documentation when I hover over code. This feature, which was recently introduced, is especially useful when using an inbuilt function from a Python package because it gives me immediate access to documentation and references, helping me understand how to use the function properly.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

More PyCharm pros
"The most valuable feature of ReShaper is that it provides continuously scanning of the data in real-time. ReShaper has a really good mechanism and process, they have a decent system."
"It comes with many features and supports almost all of the coding languages available."
 

Cons

"They should improve the product's interactiveness."
"The solution is heavy because running it on laptops consumes a lot of memory and power. Typically, a laptop battery might last about eight to nine hours, but with the tool running, it reduces to two hours or one and a half hours at most. It is designed to handle large projects and heavy tasks, making it resource-intensive. For smaller projects, use IDEs like Visual Studio Code."
"The refactor facility in PyCharm is not on par with the refactor facility in IntelliJ. It could be improved since IntelliJ offers many more options for refactoring."
"The user interface and overall user experience could be more intuitive to make it easier for users to navigate and utilize the software effectively."
"There is room for improvement in memory usage. It uses too much memory. It can get a bit heavy, especially when you have too many open files and the system becomes very slow."
"PyCharm's use of system resources can get pretty heavy. Loading, in particular, takes longer than I would like and I think they should optimize it so that it's a bit lighter on the system."
"The navigation can be better."
"One issue with JetBrains tools, including PyCharm, is their heavy resource usage. They can be slow to start, especially when beginning a new project, as it takes some time to index."
More PyCharm cons
"ReShaper could improve by increasing the performance of the scans. Their application is taking too much CPU. The processing is taking too many CPU resources which causes the system to slow down."
"When it's integrated with a weak server machine, the performance isn't that great. It starts up slowly and even crashes at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have much info on the pricing, but I would say it is somewhat competitive."
"The price is reasonable."
"They have a free Community edition, and they also have a licensed version. They definitely have an annual license. They probably also have a monthly license. Its pricing is good and reasonable. It is a little bit more expensive than the others, but it is well worth it. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"The community edition is free and the professional edition has a licensing fee."
"The community edition is free, which is good."
"I use the free community version, so I'm saving money there."
"As far as I know, the licensing isn't very cheap."
