Overall Satisfaction with Codacy

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a project manager, I really love using Codacy in my open-source projects because it really helps me to review all the pull requests. I am able to do my analysis quickly and accurately by reviewing if there are issues that would lead to errors, or some duplicated code that needs to be refactored. The seamless integration with GitHub is the best because it allows me to see the pull requests errors directly on the line of code. Also, it has instructions on how to set up the pipeline with GitHub Actions. I really love the user-friendly support team which is really supportive and proactive 24/7.
