Likelihood to Recommend I recommend it for companies that use several programming languages, as it supports several languages such as Java, Javascript, Python, among others. However, for companies that use only one programming language, there are specific tools for each language that can be more complete in this scenario. I do not recommend it for companies that only use open source software, in which case there are other tools available.
Read full review Crucible is well suited for situations where development teams follow a branch-based merge process, where new features or automation stories are introduced. It allows more seasoned team members to check newer team members' code to ensure standards are followed. It is probably less appropriate for smaller development teams or smaller projects, where code reviews can be less formal.

Easy to use UI/UX for reviewing code changes amongst different team members. Read full review Cons 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.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review Crucible was first on the market and the price is inexpensive. Crucible integrates with Jira Software and Atlassian Fisheye, providing the ability to track defects efficiently.
SonarQube compares code to 'best standards' but not 'internal standards' and does not integrate to issue tracking.
GitHub offers effective peer review, and has some integration with
GitHub issues but costs more.
