Comparison of Code Review Tools/Systems

There are a number of tools/systems available aimed at streamlining and enhancing the code review process, including:

These systems all have varying feature sets, and differ in degrees of maturity and polish; the selection is a little bewildering for someone who is evaluating code review systems for the frist time. Some of these tools have already been mentioned in other questions/answers on StackOverflow, but I would like to see a more comprehensive comparison of the more popular systems, especially with respect to:

  • integration with source control systems
  • integration with bug tracking systems
  • supported workflow (reviews pre/post commit, review or contiguous/non-contigous revision ranges, etc)
  • deployment/maintenance requirements

Are these supposed to be links? Because they're not showing up as links for me. Then again, I'm in a crappy hotel in the middle of the Adirondaks with a sucky wifi connection, so maybe it's me?

Ok, now it's showing up as links.

Code Review Tools Comparison Matrix provided by Smartbear (Code Collaborator).

This comparison matrix is fairly comprehensive, but should be taken with a grain of salt as it is provided by a code review system vendor.

It only compares 2 products, and is most probably biased towards the system the reviewers are selling. I don't think it's a comparison, more like a selling point.

If you are a TeamSystem user then I strong recommend TeamReview. I think it will be difficult to find something more integrated (integrates with VSTS and TFS) and less expensive (TeamReview is free)
