Likelihood to Recommend If you're looking for a VS Code-like online environment with containers to spin up a dev environment or execute code and scripts it is a good fit. The environments are very customizable, and, all said and done, the price is fair. If you're looking for a remote code editor that allows you to connect via SFTP/SSH and edit the remote files, it isn't quite as seamless as it used to be. I still haven't found any all-cloud alternative, but it could be better.
Read full review ilos is great for a larger group looking for an easy to learn capture system and platform all combined together. Because it lets you record, edit, and share there is no reason to learn one or two software for capture and editing, and another for sharing. ilos is not targeted at intermediate or advanced users, so the ability to manipulate your content - specifically when editing, is very limiting to more experienced users.
Read full review Pros Run development containers with backend and frontend access. Allow for multiple users to collaborate and share containers and connections. Manage multiple connections to different servers.

The modular nature of connections and containers seems like a good idea, but they don't always work properly. It's difficult sometimes to share a connection or container together with a collaborator. Read full review Features are often rolled out before they are fully baked Communication of changes can be limited and frustrating Not all changes feel like improvements, much less necessary Read full review Alternatives Considered I've used CodeTasty, which is much more of a straight remote code editor, but their dev team is entirely unresponsive, and I became uncomfortable storing credentials with them, so I pulled everything from them and went back to Codeanywhere. VS code is similar but not fully online. While I know that they've released a fully online version, I haven't had the time or wherewith-all to make it work in the capacity I need. Codeanywhere is still the best solution I've found.
Read full review It was a tough call to choose ilos over
Kaltura , but the more limited features made ilos seem more approachable for novice users. Price was also far lower because of the limited focus of ilos.
Kaltura did offer more tools for marketing/public purposes - such as streaming, capture integration, and video portals - but none of those are necessary for us.
