Cons
Con Seems extremely Java-focused, despite advertising support for many languages
Con Setup instructions don't work
Con Expensive - paid per user/month
Per-user pricing increases the pricing for us by 2600% compared to before.
Con Frequent downtime not reflected in status page
Often codecov.io URL returns 504 or 503 errors to the build scripts resulting in failed CI builds. Downtime is never reflected in their status page.
Con Node package doesn't support piped input
Most Node coverage uploaders allow you to pipe directly from a coverage tool into the coverage uploader, but Codecov seems to require that coverage is written to a file.
Con Browser extension not available for Safari
