Likelihood to Recommend	JetBrains 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.

Pros	JetBrains 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. Incentivized Nitin Pasumarthy Web & Network Performance Read full review
Cons	JetBrains 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. Incentivized Leah Jakaitis Senior Data Analyst Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	JetBrains It's perfect for our needs, cuts development time, is really helpful for newbies to understand projects structure Incentivized PD Paolo De Grazia Principle Automation Engineer Read full review
Support Rating	JetBrains 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	JetBrains 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.

Return on Investment	JetBrains 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
