User Testimonials
	JetBrains Rider	Rapid SQL
Likelihood to Recommend	JetBrains Initially you may think it’s not worth paying and that there are better free options, which is definitely a lie we once tried to live with. It has everything you may ever need in .NET world, code analysis and debugging works super well and all the SQL/noSQL related integrations are just next level compared to the competition. It’s worth every penny. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Idera Software Rapid SQL is great for smaller organizations and development teams who are experienced with an SQL environment. It is not suitable for most beginners who are not familiar and need a learning platform. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	JetBrains Provides a smooth, efficient IDE for developing .NET applications. Performance has been much better than Visual Studio in my experience. Integrated refactoring tools are really comprehensive and useful. Integrates with other JetBrains products such as TeamCity, Upsource, dotTrace, etc. Incentivized Anthony Aziz Senior Software Engineer Read full review	Idera Software Robust Simple to use Affordable Incentivized Richard Baroniunas Owner Read full review
Cons	JetBrains Startup time. It takes a while to index big projects. Rarely it loses the intellisense and the only way to get it back is by restarting. Incentivized Luiz Wendt Software Engineer Read full review	Idera Software User base support is not as great as MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle. The included editor could be refined. I notice some of the reserved words were not highlighted. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	JetBrains Due to the performance and productivity benefits we get with Rider, we will continue to use it for the foreseeable future. Incentivized Anthony Aziz Senior Software Engineer Read full review	Idera Software No answers on this topic
Usability	JetBrains Rider is a great IDE with extensive C# refactoring support and .NET-specific knowledge. This is great for building .NET applications but for our purposes, the Unity specific suggestions are really helpful. JetBrains Rider is great as an editing and debugging environment. It reliably connects to the Unity editor and allows debugging, which some IDEs are not as reliable at doing.

Support Rating	JetBrains The support forums and knowledge base are extensive and the JetBrains support staff respond quickly to new posts and help resolve issues. There is also a publicly accessible issue tracking system, which allows you to stay on top of any bug fixes or enhancement requests. Incentivized Rajan Tande Chief Technology Officer Read full review	Idera Software Support is outstanding and gets answers quickly when confronted at a client site with an issue. Incentivized Richard Baroniunas Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	JetBrains Rider is hands down smoother and way less glitchy than Visual Studio Enterprise. There are way more refactoring capabilities and spell check so that your code is readable, maintainable, and easy to follow. Since Rider is cross-platform, our developers are no longer constrained to only using Windows. We can now get a familiar development environment across Mac, Windows, or Linux! Incentivized Aaron Smith Senior Software Developer Read full review	Idera Software The IT department uses it so we adopted the software. I would have chosen SQL Server myself.

Return on Investment	JetBrains Built in Resharper into the license fee, great, you likely want it Demands less resources from computer so needing a beefy work computer might not be the case, save money on equipment.
