Likelihood to Recommend Findbugs is best suited even when you want to adapt to certain coding conventions and discover possible bugs beforehand and it's best suited for the java open source. whether you are a developer or a DevOps engineer you can even use it as a plugin in your Jenkins pipeline or any other build automation server and your developer tool such as visual studio as well.
Read full review It's easy to create virtual environments and install packages for different projects as we may need project-specific packages for doing our experiments, also it's easy to see what changes we have made and create pull requests faster. But sometimes we want some light python editor like Jupiter notebook as PyCharm is relatively heavier, also Jupiter notebooks are a good option when we need to run remote code on local machines.
Read full review Pros Scan the code for existing bugs present It can detect an vulnerabilities and also show possible bad warnings Can help identify errors in advance to avoid code crash post deployment Read full review Git integration is really essential as it allows anyone to visually see the local and remote changes, compare revisions without the need for complex commands. Complex debugging tools are basked into the IDE. Controls like break on exception are sometimes very helpful to identify errors quickly. Multiple runtimes - Python, Flask, Django, Docker are native the to IDE. This makes development and debugging and even more seamless. Integrates with Jupyter and Markdown files as well. Side by side rendering and editing makes it simple to develop such files. Read full review Cons It’s documentation is not always up to date Difficulty in finding a prper solution when an issue arises during its configuration has limited features Read full review The biggest complaint I have about PyCharm is that it can use a lot of RAM which slows down the computer / IDE. I use the paid version, and have otherwise found nothing to complain about the interface, utility, and capabilities.

Read full review Support Rating I rate 10/10 because I have never needed a direct customer support from the JetBrains so far. Whenever and for whatever kind of problems I came across, I have been able to resolve it within the internet community, simply by Googling because turns out most of the time, it was me who lacked the proper information to use the IDE or simply make the proper configuration. I have never came across a bug in PyCharm either so it deserves 10/10 for overall support

SonarCloud needs a license if you want to use it privately and also requires personal access token authentication if used with an external service
Read full review PyCharm is the best IDE for python development. PyCharm offers various features: source code completion, support for unit testing, integration with Docker/GitLab/Git, ability to manage and configure virtual environments, auto-indentation, and re-factoring code with ease. Support for JSON/Shell scripts and support for Flask/Django Other tools are effective for creating isolated scripts but not for handling projects with more than two scripts.
Read full review Return on Investment Its being used overall by most of the teams Some of the teams migrating to another testing tool as it has limited features Still recommend as its open source and beginners friendly Read full review Buying the licensed pro version is a bit costly, but overall because of its features and its speed, the time taken by a developer to develop something can be improved. Indirectly getting a good return of Investment. Considering the team size and its features, one can go for the licensed version as the ROI is high. Customer support is also good for a licensed version, thereby saving the time, which in turn shows ROI as high. Read full review ScreenShots
