Open-Source Powerhouse with Frequent Releases and Terraform-Provisioned Workspaces
What do you like best about the product?
A few things I really love about Coder are its open-source nature, the frequent releases, the use of Terraform infrastructure-as-code to provision workspaces, and the modular structure paired with good documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The enterprise version can be a bit too pricy for larger organizations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Implementing Coder in our organization has really helped us standardize our development environments. It provides a user-friendly and secure way for everyone to create one or more workspaces, each set up with the tools they need to do their job.
Easy K8s Setup with Persistent, Auth-Ready Remote Workspaces
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to setup with K8s. All the features like persistent workspace data and authentication is handled by default.
What do you dislike about the product?
To be honest I don't have anything to complain about Coder. It provide exactly the features that I need for a remote workspace.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to provide remote workspaces for user in different location. Coder handles that and also integrate very well with VS Code. So user can run terminal and IDE on a remote machine that can be easily resize and move data around.
Helpful AI Coding Support That’s Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
The AI is very helpful for coding. It’s easy to use, and it gives useful tips when you’re stuck, which makes it a great support while you work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t have many complaints about Coder. It’s pretty straightforward to use, and I could look things up whenever I got stuck.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy ay to integrate my alerts into tools. Support was easy to use for my use cases.
Extensible, Easy-to-Use, and Open Source
What do you like best about the product?
The biggest factor for us is the extensibility. Because in the end it is "just" a wrapper around Terraform, we can easily use it across different platforms: Both Kubernetes, but also EC2 machines.
The UI is also very easy to use, which is why we have actually moved some of our workloads (Workstations for Artists) from custom tooling towards Coder.
Additionally, Coder Tasks is another game changer. It allows us to run many different AI Agents on a locked-down container. It can create MRs, do tests, etc without us being worried it could impact our own workstations.
The fact that it is Open Source and self hostable made it an easy choice for us to start using it. And we are happy to see the pace they add new features and the openness for PRs.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the features that would be useful (like HA, Groups, etc). are enterprise only features. There is a lack of transparency about the actual pricing for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It sped up onboarding because new engineers can start working immediately, even if their workstation is not fully set up yet. It especially helped us when training new people, because all of them had the same setup.
Thanks to Coder tasks we have a reliable way for running AI Agents in a sandboxed environment.
And because of the use of Terraform we can use Coder for things that haven't necessarily been envisioned by the creators (like managing AV workstations that don't run VSCode)

robust, self-hosted CDE platform tailored for enterprises looking to secure their development
What do you like best about the product?
Its ability to provide secure, self-hosted, and consistent cloud development environments (CDEs) helps enhance productivity and makes day-to-day development work smoother.
What do you dislike about the product?
Coder is not a SaaS platform, and it is not a collaboration platform. It’s designed to manage infrastructure for developer workspaces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coder.com addresses the inefficiency, inconsistency, and security risks of local development setups by offering self-hosted, cloud-based development environments (CDEs) that can be provisioned in minutes.
Eliminates “Works on My Machine” with Secure, Self-Hosted Remote Dev Environments
What do you like best about the product?
Coder’s remote development environments eliminate “works on my machine” issues entirely. Template-based workspace provisioning through Terraform gives platform teams strong control over the developer experience, and the self-hosted model is a major plus for teams with security or data residency requirements. It also fits naturally into a GitOps workflow: if your team already lives in Kubernetes and Terraform, Coder feels right at home.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup and template authoring can feel complex, and it really assumes a strong Terraform and Kubernetes background, which may be a barrier for smaller teams. The documentation for more advanced workspace configurations still has some gaps, and when a workspace build fails, debugging it can be time-consuming and frustrating. A more guided onboarding experience would go a long way toward making the platform easier to adopt.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coder addresses the problem of inconsistent local development environments. By using standardized, template-driven remote workspaces, every developer can start with the same environment each time, which helps eliminate setup drift and reduces onboarding friction. For platform teams, it also centralizes the management of developer tooling without having to touch or maintain individual machines.
Seamless Integration, Quick Setup
What do you like best about the product?
I like Coder's integration with other tools and the nice UIs. It's also great that the setup is simple and quick, taking only about five minutes. The agents feature is good; it gets my job done effectively with responsive results.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find long running tasks with system native commands sometimes problematic. Coder also struggles with understanding whether I'm on Mac or Windows when I'm trying to use Docker on my WSL with certain commands.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Coder for personal projects inspired by my job, particularly for proof of concept tasks. The integration is nice with good UIs, and the agents get my job done effectively.
A powerful solution for consistent and scalable cloud development environments
What do you like best about the product?
Coder provides a powerful cloud development environment that centralizes all dev work in one place. The remote workspace feature eliminates local setup issues, improves team consistency, and lets developers work from anywhere without performance trade-offs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially for teams new to cloud development environments
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It eliminates lengthy local setup times, reduces environment-related bugs
Effortless Collaboration and Setup
What do you like best about the product?
I find Coder's cloud coding feature extremely useful. It's really simple to set up and share, which makes it easy to onboard new teammates quickly. I appreciate that I don't have to spend time setting it up for new hires, which is a big time-saver for our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
N/A
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Coder for coding on the cloud. It solves the problem of easily sharing cloud environments with teams. The setup is really simple, and it offers quick onboarding for teammates, so we don't have to spend time setting it up for new hires.
Highly Replicable Environments with Coder’s Infrastructure as Code
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Coder environments are defined as code. Hence, making environments highly replicable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not sure. It's a pretty good product. Perhaps the docs could be better and more LLM friendly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It enables my entire team to have similar development environments, which wasn't always the case and this would sometimes cause things to break in CI
