Codeanywhere vs. Proclaim

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.

In my view, there is no comparable product on the market...especially at this price point. Anyone asking, I would tell them it's a world-class product. Easy to use interface, straightforward production. Compared to Powerpoint, which I know many churches still use, Proclaim is a no-brainer. It has saved me a huge amount of time in my weekly preparations.

• 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.

• Allowance for many types of media
• Generally a very stable platform
• Easy to use interface

• Since some updates a couple of years ago, using Codeanywhere as a remote code editor rather than a container-based development environment has been more cumbersome and difficult.
• 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.

• Editor could be more robust
• A better way to organize the media library would be helpful
• Lack of support for MOV files

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.

Proclaim is designed specifically for Worship design and has many features catered specifically to our market segment. Powerpoint WILL get the job done, but because it is more geared to corporate, general production, it really isn't comparable for our use case.

• Helped me make mission critical edits remotely and on-the-fly.
• Spent a bit of time figuring out the change in user interfaces.

• The biggest factor is time savings
