### "Good Solution to Enterprise Product Development" — 5.0/5

> **Kunal** | *February 20, 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have been using eclipse for a while for J2SE Development using Java Entity Beans and I found out the following pros Of Eclipse.&#13;&#10;1.) It is very easy to use and is very less resource hungry as compared to other Development IDE's&#13;&#10;2.) It supports Development languages such as C++,Java,JavaScript.&#13;&#10;3.) It can be use by both novice and professionals to develop the rich applications.&#13;&#10;4.) It comes with various themes and also has feature of auto completion in the Coding Editor.&#13;&#10;5.) Window Builder Library of Eclipse seems to be very useful for developing good Desktop applications.
> 
> **Cons**: Since it is an Open Source Project, It is updated frequently which is very annoying at least for me, because of high Internet Usage. It has less Customer Support as Compared to Other Development IDE's.

### "Explorer Eclipse - Try it today" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *March 25, 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the accounting feature along with contracting dashboard, analytics. Overall it's very good
> 
> **Cons**: I think the UI can be improved and making it more user friendly to attract more people to try it out

### "RUN\!" — 1.0/5

> **Jennifer** | *November 14, 2023* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I wish I could say that there is a pro, but I have yet to see it.
> 
> **Cons**: Customer service is AWFUL. There is absolutely no education regarding the product, and they just assume that you know how to use it. If you have trouble you have to create a ticket and they send you a related article to read to figure it out yourself, but we pay over $9,000.00 a year for support. That's not my idea of support.
> 
> One of the worst experiences ever. I initially paid for our product to be upgraded in August and we are now in November, and it still is not complete. I have literally been waiting on them to "fix bugs" since August. I have reached out several times asking where we are at with the project only to be told that they will look into it, and no one ever gets back to me.

### "Eclipse Review" — 5.0/5

> 
> **Pros**: I like eclipse as ide because it easily shows the errors and possible solutions to the most common ones, as well as easy to implement testing tools
> 
> **Cons**: There are times when Eclipse is not able to correctly describe errors to different from other IDEs.
> 
> my work is mainly with JAVA, so eclipse has helped me to easily deal with the daily development of my coding activities since it is based precisely on Java
