Code Climate

What do you like best?

I like the ease with which you can view the different warnings in code blocks. The explanations are also pretty easy to understand.

What do you dislike?

There are a fair number of false positives that flag code that is fine, but that seems inevitable and I have yet to find a tool that does better.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Like other software code review tools you can not take everything as gospel but instead you use Code Climate to identify places that deserve a closer, more skeptical look. It is especially useful if you have a large codebase and multiple developers, as this really helps enforce good coding practices.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We have a huge codebase and need to enforce best practices. Code Climate is a good tool for pointing out sections of code that need a closer look.
