## Reviews

### "Best Secured Cloud Development Environment" — 5.0/5

> **Sandeep** | *13 June 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Best Cloud IDE interms of the advanced security features, ease of setup and maintenance. 

Some of the stand out features that we observed are workspaces sharing, auto installation of extensions, template definitions, default folder, pre and post startup scripts.

With Strong Network, Development environment can be spun up in few seconds including the configuration that makes the workspace ready to use without much effort from individual developer/user. 

Many Pro's compared to Virtual Desktops and a life saver. 

The Best Part - All that the Developer/User needs is just a Browser. Enables quick onboarding of the Developers/users onto the environment. 

New Features requests are handled with super quick turn around. Great Technical support. 

To the best of my knowledge, only Strong Network is the only CDE that supports Self Hosting Capability in today's market. This capability helped us to host Strong Network in house.
> 
> **Cons**: Honestly, we cannot think of Cons. Strong Network continues to evolve to be the best with new releases and features.
> 
> Best software for SelfHosting Secure CDE. Great Support from Strong Network Team. Ease of setup and maintenance.

### "Strong Network helps Sirius to strengthen our security without changing our development flow" — 5.0/5

> **Jing** | *29 February 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: easy to use cloud IDE that has advanced security features to protect the source code and sensitive data
in Sirius, we do not issue standard laptop, we pay people allowance to the their own preferred hardware. We also do not want to intrude people's privacy to install agents to monitor the laptop since it's employees' property. So, Strong Network makes this possible without compromising security policies.
> 
> **Cons**: the utilization of infra resource can be optimized and more stable when workload is higher
you can always compensate this by allocating more infra resources
