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 ----- ### "What more can you ask? :)" — 5.0/5 > **Srinivasa** | *11 December 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Intellisense and the wide range of language support > > **Cons**: Lack of suggestions to do a specific thing effectively. 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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Excellent IDE for Java Development and Enterprise Projects" — 5.0/5 > **Adinath** | *8 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: IntelliJ IDEA significantly improves productivity with its intelligent code completion, powerful refactoring tools, excellent debugging capabilities, and seamless integration with build tools like Maven and Gradle. It provides a smooth development experience for Java and Spring Boot applications. > > **Cons**: The IDE can be resource-intensive, especially on systems with limited RAM. Some advanced features are available only in the Ultimate edition, which may be costly for individual developers. > > My overall experience with IntelliJ IDEA has been very positive. It offers strong code analysis, excellent support for Java and Spring Boot development, reliable debugging tools, and efficient project navigation. The IDE helps reduce coding errors, speeds up development, and integrates well with version control systems. Customer support and documentation are helpful, and regular updates continuously improve stability and security. While occasional performance issues may occur with large projects, the overall value and productivity gains make it one of the best development environments available. ----- 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
