May be utilize the AI to analyze what a user is doing and suggest better ways to acheive the same with in the tool. > > Amazing\!\!\!\! I was an "Eclipse lover" before using Intellij... Cannot go back to any other tool now. You won me Intellij. :) ----- ### "Best IDE for Java/Spring Boot development" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *8 February 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Still the best Java/Spring Boot IDE available. Mature with a vast ecosystem of plugins available. > > **Cons**: Can be a bit more resource hungry and slower than other IDEs eg. VS code. ----- ### "Coding Rocket" — 5.0/5 > **Lucas** | *5 May 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: IntelliJ autocompletes like a champ, refactors on click. Built‑in git, plugins by the bucket > > **Cons**: But it guzzles RAM on beefy projects and that licence fee is nowhere near pocket‑money levels > > Been tinkering with IntelliJ for yonks, it's a solid wizard spinning Java builds before coffee ----- ### "The Ultimate IDE for Java & Spring Boot Backend Development" — 4.0/5 > **Abdelrahman** | *2 March 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The intelligent code completion and refactoring tools are lifesavers, especially when ensuring the code adheres to OOP and SOLID principles. The built-in integration for Spring Boot makes running, testing, and debugging REST APIs incredibly smooth. It also has seamless Docker integration, which streamlines my daily backend tasks and deployment preparations, the best plugin market and the compatibility with many services . > > **Cons**: It is quite resource-heavy. Indexing large projects upon startup can take some time, and it consumes a significant amount of RAM so my device cry. You definitely need a machine with strong specifications (at least 16GB RAM) to run it smoothly alongside other tools without experiencing any lag, sometimes i should restart my device when i run many plugins to make it build the maven project smother > > Transitioning into a professional company environment over the past few months, IntelliJ IDEA has been my primary and most reliable tool. It significantly boosted my productivity in writing clean Java code and managing complex backend architectures. The out-of-the-box features save me hours of configuration time every week. ----- ### "The Rolls-Royce of IDE's" — 5.0/5 > **Ozzie** | *11 December 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The versatility and speed are my favorite features of IDEA. Hands down one of the best, most feature rich IDE's I have ever had the pleasure of using. JetBrains really knows their customer and it shows. > > **Cons**: There's no complaints other than I wish it were free, but if it were I doubt the product would be the same. > > My experience is much like others have said, JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA is the best IDE period. JetBrains knows their customer base and their suite of IDE's and developer tools proves this. ----- Page: 1 / 52\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/136010/intellij-idea?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/136010/intellij-idea) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
