## Reviews

### "Does Just What We Need It To Do" — 4.0/5

> **Jeff** | *3 December 2019* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the ease of getting it up and running.  In a day, you can be ready to create code reviews.  The administration panel for the most part is self-explanatory and if you miss something, it is a breeze to go back and change.
> 
> **Cons**: I would have to say the reporting.  The features are there and they have a bunch of canned reports, but if trying to customize a report, I find it kind of confusing.  There are 3 to 4 parts to the report page where things can be changed and it is not clear what should be done.
> 
> We were using a very manual and informal Outlook based code review system.  With new regulations and certifications, we needed something much more robust.  We did some research and Collaborator was the first and only one that we looked at and ended up buying.

### "Best tool for code quality assistant." — 4.0/5

> **Ashok** | *6 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This tool allows to review the code easily. The developers can easily write the code and send a code review request to the reviewers. It is very user-friendly to use as we can easily identify the new changes from different colour of lines and all. Also, we can easily integrate it with GitHub, Bitbucket, jira, etc.
> 
> **Cons**: The pricing is bit higher as compared to any of the alternatives. Other than that works amazing.
