    When I am working with a large team of developers. Also, when a security policy, you are not allowed to install any app on your laptop. Cloud 9 is well integrated with Cloud commit. So we don't have to spend time in configurations.

    • It allows the export of files, either directly to the repository or to the team where you want it.
    • It is housed in the cloud so you can work with it from anywhere.
    • Allows you to share code or work on them with others in real-time.
    • Does not require installation.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • Confusing documentation - AWS's documentation remains quite confusing, and the layout of other services/settings that you have to use with Cloud9 can be a bit of a handful.
    • Sometimes slow - As the size of a project increases, the editor gets increasingly slower, and starts slowing down the browser overall.
    • Long setup process - The setup for Cloud9 can be hard and tough, especially since the documentation is quite hard to understand.

    Usability
    Amazon AWS
    The interface for Cloud9 needs some improvement. It is simply not as powerful and intelligent as a local text editor would be and thus it lacks the capabilities of fast filling when coding. Otherwise, I think it has a fair interface that they have tried mimicking an IDE.

    Customer support is managed by the Cloud support team. I won't be able to comment on details, but it's fast.

    [AWS] Cloud9 offers specific features not available in the competition: Code collaboration using the chat features is the highlight which sets it apart. [The] code completion feature makes [it] very similar to the offline IDE like eclipse. It's much easier to use compared to Codeanywhere. It provides terminal access to EC2 instances and hence other amazon services.

    • We save time since we do not need to configure files or our equipment.
    • We have the most appropriate tools for software development in one place.
    • We can work from anywhere so if that day we could not get to our office or something we can do from home.
    • We can code with a single browser.
