Compare Merico vs. Visual Expert

Traditional analytics only capture superficial signals, whereas Merico delves into code analysis to focus on what truly matters through comprehensive program evaluation. Measuring engineering performance presents significant challenges, and while a handful of companies attempt this, most rely on flawed and misleading indicators, overlooking valuable opportunities for recognition, growth, and advancement. Up to this point, the tools for analytics and evaluation have largely prioritized surface-level metrics to judge quality and productivity, a practice that developers recognize as inadequate. This insight is the driving force behind the creation of Merico. By offering commit-level analysis, teams gain crucial insights directly from their codebase, ensuring that the data remains accurate and unaffected by the pitfalls of process measurement. This direct connection to the code empowers developers to refine, prioritize, and evolve their work with precision. With Merico, teams can establish transparent shared objectives while effectively monitoring their progress, productivity, and quality through actionable benchmarks, paving the way for continuous improvement and success. Ultimately, Merico transforms the way engineering teams assess their performance, providing them with the tools they need to thrive in a complex development landscape.

Visual Expert is a static code analyzer for Oracle PL/SQL, SQL Server T-SQL and PowerBuilder. It identifies code dependencies to let you modify the code without breaking your application. It also scans your code to detect security flaws, quality, performance and maintenability issues. Identify breaking changes with impact analysis. Scan the code to find security vulnerabilities, bugs and maintenance issues. Integrate continuous code inspection in a CI workflow. Understand the inner workings and document your code with call graphs, code diagrams, CRUD matrices, and object dependency matrices (ODMs). Automatically generate source code documentation in HTML format. Navigate your code with hyperlinks. Compare two pieces of code, databases or entire applications. Improve maintainability. Clean up code. Comply with development standards. Analyze and improve database code performance: Find slow objects and SQL queries, optimize a slow object, a call chain, a slow SQL query, display a query execution plan.
