This is a Great place to start!
What do you like best about the product?
Getting CodeScene set up and connected to our repos was very easy.
As a non-developer working in a software development company, one of my jobs is to protect developers' time when possible. CodeScene lets me interrogate code and discover entry points for the developers to perform more in-depth code reviews.
I also like that I can show progress even our least technical stakeholders can understand with the streamlined visuals codescene creates.

What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to see attribution for hotspots to allow project managers or lead developers to gently redirect the users who are introducing the areas of concern.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting on software development progress is easy in some ways (e.g. we can demo a new feature, and a client can see it) but it's difficult to show in other ways - reducing complexity, abstracting reusable components into their own files, even spending time monitoring and checking to ensure code quality. For those areas where it's difficult to demonstrate value, we have historically had difficulty convincing clients that the work does need to happen, does produce value, etc. CodeScene helps us demonstrate that value by providing over-time visualizations of key code health indicators that we can show to clients and stakeholders. It also lets us save developer time in code reviews by surfacing concerns that need to be addressed and allowing our devs to focus their manual review on more esoteric considerations.
Great tool to help team work on monoliths and individualise knowledge islands
What do you like best about the product?
Our teams really like the knoledge base feature that has helped us identify the areas where we were missing knowledge after a teams reorganization that changed the people in every team one year ago. The tool helped us identifing the high risk areas and we got the change to improve our knowledge base in the new teams.
Another very useful feature is the code health since we are working on some monoltihs and this feature helped us identify the repositories with the worst helath of code so that we could fix them right away.

What do you dislike about the product?
The integration with YouTrack is a new feature and it still needs some improvement to personalize the configuration in order to correctly defying what is unplanned work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gives us more visibility on code health and knowledge base
Total Gamechanger for Software Development
What do you like best about the product?
Seriously, this is a game-changer. CodeScene's hotspots help us zero in on those tricky parts of our codebase that might be causing headaches. It's like having a guide showing you where the potholes are on a road so you can dodge them.Beyond the hotspots, the tool offers some pretty nifty metrics about code health and team dynamics. It's not just about the code; it's also about how we work together as a team.
The visual breakdowns make it easier to grasp the state of our code, especially when trying to explain things to non-tech folks.

What do you dislike about the product?
Okay, it's not the most straightforward tool right out of the gate. There's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's smooth sailing.
Sometimes, there's just too much information thrown at you. It's great to have all these insights, but filtering out the noise can be a challenge.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're working with a project that's been around for a solid 15 years. Back in its early days, tight deadlines led to a few shortcuts in the code. Thanks to CodeScene, we can now sift through that technical debt, pinpointing exactly where to channel our efforts for the most impactful improvements.
Early Adoption Lead to Many Insights
What do you like best about the product?
CodeScene provides insights into our developement life cycle that no other tool we use can provide
What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't run into anything that causes concern
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We particularly benefit from knlowledge loss insights
Great tool for understanding and measuring the maintainability of a code base
What do you like best about the product?
Helps quantify the maintainability of your codebase and provides targeted areas to refactor problematic code. Understanding your code Hotspots and high-churn modules is important when prioritizing technical debt. It also does a great job of helping understand interactions between teams within the same code base.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love that I can configure the rules in a settings file that is committed alongside the code but it could be easier to modify static analysis settings on a per file/per method basis. For example, I'd like to disable a rule on a method with a comment like /* code-scene ignore: function_max_arguments */
Happy to update the review, if this is already possible

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Undestanding the maintainability of a code base helps prioritize technical debt so no features are delivered faster.
Leverage for dev team
What do you like best about the product?
CodeScene gives the dev team quick answers to what is a danger zone in the code base and what should be refactored first.
Using this tool the team can easily compose a technical roadmap for the next quarter.

What do you dislike about the product?
UX is not great. Sometimes links in UI lead to unexpected places.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You, as a business, can not deliver new features to market fast if your tech debt increases without addressing it. Increasing tech debt slows you down. And if you handle it, you still have limited resources and cannot do everything. This tool allows you to prioritise what part of the code base should be refactored in the first place. So, no need to fix everything. Just fix the top 5 worst pieces every couple of sprints, and you're good!
Best tool for visualizing technical debt
What do you like best about the product?
The best is how CodeScene vizulize our code. Showing potential hotspot and focus areas. Pointing you in the right direction of code that has low health and is used a lot so you can focus your refactoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has slowed down the velocity of the developers as we use the PR (Pull Request) integration in CodeScene, because it instantly shows if you've changed the code health for the better or worse.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As the stakeholders are not so technical we have a hard time as developers to show the impact of our technical debt. With this tool we can easily vizulize that this new feature is going to take longer time due to the code health where its going to be added is low.
With CodeScene we are able to see where we will benefit the most from reducing technical debt.
What do you like best about the product?
CodeScene has a great variety of integration with PM & PR tooling, which makes our lives easier to connect our existing infrastructure. It also helps us find code health issues as early & fast as possible during development. With integrated quality gates, we can react instantly during code reviews to not even let bad code go unnoticed and enter our production pipelines.
They have the best and fastest support team in the whole world! ❤️

What do you dislike about the product?
Its vast amount of data can be overwhelming at some point, but CodeScene offers substantial documentation that almost leaves no question unanswered. With every new release, they provide more and more valuable and stunning features. So, for me, there is nothing I could complain about. :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CodeScene shows us not only where the code needs improvement but also where we would benefit the most, unlike any other static code metrics tool. Now, it's easier to prioritise our technical debt and actually start removing it effectively.
CodeScene helps us keep our code healthy
What do you like best about the product?
CodeScene makes it very easy to surface technical debt and assists in continuously monitoring your code health. It even gives you clear instructions on fixing code health declines. We've had great experiences with Stephen, who is always available for questions and assistance.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's A LOT of information in CodeScene, and it's sometimes hard to know what information to focus on and to fully understand the information CodeScene is presenting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As the size of our codebase increases, it's hard for developers to identify places of technical debt. CodeScene solves this by clearly showing which areas of your code are potential problems. It also helps us to continuously understand the impact of our changes by integrating with our Pull Requests.
Codescene is guiding us to write better code automatically
What do you like best about the product?
We have automated our code quality reviews with Codescene and have had impactful results from the beginning of usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a bit of a learning curve to get used to all features, but the Codescene team has accommodated us to get started.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to monitor our code quality, especially on our most used and edited files.
