CodeRabbit Pros and Cons

I like that CodeRabbit handles commenting on repetitive errors well. This enables me to focus on the complex changes and changes where AI can't evaluate the code. Reading the tools code reviews, I also learn of new features in my dev stack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A downside to using CodeRabbit is that you do have to let it know when to stop reviewing something. Also, this is AI. Some suggested changes will cause the tool to recommend your original version upon making code changes. Just remember that this is an AI assistant, not an expert. For humans in the loop, they need to remember that they 'win' on any disagreements with the AI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CodeRabbit is quick and easy to integrate into your organization. It's made my team more efficient when it comes to code reviews and checking in new features by serving as an extra pair of eyes. There's been many instances where it has caught several bugs that would have made their way into our prod environments if it weren't for CodeRabbit. It's also really easy to customize and interact with the tool as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, my team and I don't have any major complaints. There have been some instances where it would make incorrect comments (e.g. point out a missing variable even though the variable was defined), but that's not a huge deal as I usually just respond to its comment by pointing out the line where the variable was defined. The CodeRabbit team is also very receptive to feedback as well which means constant improvements to the product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Code Rabbit provides very useful suggestions to an open source project of mine. It is not only extremely easy to use from a user's perspective, the website makes it easy to administrate as well.

The likely best feature of it are the poems about the pull requests though. They are hilarious and spice up the daily task of reviewing code a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit annoying that the frequency of reviews is low for open source, I would highly suggest adding a payed tier there, that increases the frequency a bit, so you don't have to pay per contributor as an open source maintainer, but have a reliable price per repository.

I use CodeRabbit daily on my pull requests, as I am a solo maintainer on an open source project, CodeRabbit is the dev companion I was missing.

It is probably one of the most easiest tool to setup out there. You just link it to your Github repo and you are good to go.

It has an active community on Discord. We see that the CodeRabbit team value their user's feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Downsides are related to the LLM limitations such as context window. So CodeRabbit won't work on huge pull requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you use Github, CodeRabbit is an easy to integrate tool that allows your team to get the ball rolling on Code Reviews. The feedback it provides is actionable, easy to apply (or tweak for relevancy) and useful. In one of our first trial runs, it found a bug and reported it, which gave it instant credibility within our team. I and some of my teammates joined the developer's discord channel and made a few suggestions that were quickly addressed by the team. They are super responsive and will address feedback promptly. In my experience, the support they provide is as good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI interface is a bit unintuitive but the team is making continuous improvements, so I trust that will be improved over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an automated tool to help detect code improvements/bugs in the code review step.

Has saved us once or twice already and is great at spotting things which you might miss during code reviews.

I wouldn't push to prod off of the back of a single OK from code rabbit but it's the same as you wouldn't push to prod with a single approval from a human either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The backend UI could do with some further improvement, it is a little bit slow and there are lot of options, some of which such as the poem mode which isn't really useful and causes clutter. However once you have it configured it does just work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CodeRabbit is one of the most useful tools out there, for sure, especially for anyone working solo on a project. It's also incredible that it's free to use on open-source projects. There's no argument on how much time I am saving in the long run with AI providing insightful code suggestions and enhancements. I couldn't recommed CodeRabbit enough, definitely spend the 5 minutes (or less!) to set it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's honestly hard to come up with anything negative to say about a tool like CodeRabbit. It does a whole lot and it's free in many cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all it's very easy to set up and get started with. In action it spot bugs, help enforce best practices, suggest performance improvements and refactoring for better readability. It also does some deeper analysis on code from time to time or on demend. Via comments you can interact with it as a chat bot and it learns from the feedback you provide in comments.

There is a free version and a Pro version with a fair payment plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It sometimes provides incorrect feedback. That seems to mainly occur because of not enought context which can be provided via comments by stating what file and code part it should look at for that missing context. The commitable suggestions usually need some extra attension, but to me just spotting those things is the most important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CodeRabbit enables me to build confidently knowing that I will get feedback on my code no matter who is around or what dev availability looks like. The generated descriptions and diagrams act as a running source of documentation that saves time when trying to build quickly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that comes to mind!

Feature request: Auto-generated documentation outside of PRs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an amazing AI tool to get a code review, and the walkthrough feature on the PR is also super helpful and super in-depth. It doesn't feel like another chatgpt code reviewer. It actually feels helpful and in-depth. Replying to its suggestions and it replying back is also helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Could have some features to fine tune to my preferences. But there no other issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
